What an assessment for SFIDIV307 must cover

41 assessable components: 5 elements (17 performance criteria), 7 performance evidence and 12 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Enter and leave the water

  • 1.1Consult crew and consider prevailing weather and water conditions when assessing the safety of diving operations, and decide on whether to continue the dive
  • 1.2Ensure that procedures during the dive, and when entering or leaving the water from the dive platform meet diving guidelines and are according to normal dive practices
  • 1.3Use signals to the dive platform before descent and following ascent according to normal dive practices

2 Harvest and land seafood catch

  • 2.1Identify and harvest targeted seafood and other aquatic products legally and safely
  • 2.2Handle catch to maintain maximum quality and according to workplace and industry operating procedures
  • 2.3Land catch according to workplace and industry operating procedures

3 Assist in lifting and handling

  • 3.1Recognise the limitations and suitability of winches with hydraulic and air motors for use on the surface and underwater when undertaking winching operations
  • 3.2Use the correct signs and signals during winch operations so as to communicate effectively with crew
  • 3.3Select and rig lifting equipment and ropes of the correct type and safe working load using the correct mechanical advantage for the catch being lifted
  • 3.4Use and secure lifting bags to raise catch
  • 3.5Restrain the catch so that ascent is controlled
  • 3.6Inspect and maintain slings, ropes and lifting bags and carry out pre- and post-dive checks on lifting devices

4 Use basic hand tools and auxiliary devices underwater

  • 4.1Use a range of hand tools to complete simple tasks underwater
  • 4.2Use auxiliary devices in underwater catch operations safely
  • 4.3Inspect tools for defects, maintain and store after use or set aside for repair

5 Conduct underwater searches

  • 5.1Use a range of underwater search and survey techniques to locate targeted items
  • 5.2Maintain signals while conducting underwater search

Performance evidence

  • making an assessment of the conditions before undertaking a dive
  • entering and leaving the water according to standard dive procedures
  • assisting with winch operations
  • harvesting and safely handling seafood catch
  • operating and maintaining the appropriate tools and auxiliary devices to complete the required underwater tasks
  • using appropriate dive signals when communicating with crew
  • using appropriate search techniques to trace items

Knowledge evidence

  • local weather and sea conditions that impact on diving operations
  • diving signals used in underwater work, including when entering and leaving water and carrying out lifting and handling activities and underwater searches
  • wild catch apparatus and associated equipment, including:
  • auxiliary devices, including low pressure air supply systems
  • lifting equipment, including its suitability and limitations
  • basic hand tools
  • diver communication systems
  • methods for entering and leaving the water from a range of dive platforms
  • seafood harvest procedures that require underwater work in a wild catch environment
  • fisheries legislation relevant to wild catch harvesting
  • safe working loads and mechanical advantages for winching operations
  • underwater search and survey techniques used for underwater work in a wild catch environment

Foundation skills

  • Numeracy: Interprets and follows dive tables Reads diving instruments Performs calculations and measurements for diving operations and underwater search and survey techniques
  • Reading: Interprets required information from diving-related instructions, procedures, regulatory requirements and guidelines
  • Navigate the world of work: Takes responsibility for decisions about when and how to complete tasks, and coordinates with others
  • Interact with others: Uses appropriate terminology and signals specific to diving, lifting and handling operations
  • Get the work done: Uses diver communication systems

Questions about assessing SFIDIV307

What does an assessment tool for SFIDIV307 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SFIDIV307 needs to address all 41 unit components: 5 elements with 17 performance criteria, 7 performance evidence requirements, 12 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for SFIDIV307?

Auditori pulls the current release of SFIDIV307 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for SFIDIV307 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SFIDIV307 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of SFIDIV307, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
