Diving Guidelines
The Petroleum (Submerged Lands) (Diving Safety) Regulations 2002 - Diving Guidelines (the DSR Guidelines) give guidance on meeting the requirements of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) (Diving Safety) Regulations 2002 (DSR) for offshore petroleum exploration and production activities involving diving in Commonwealth waters and also in State and Territory coastal waters that have mirror legislation with the Commonwealth DSR.
Guideline Revision
A revision of the Guidelines is planned. The revised DSR Guidelines will be issued by NOPSA and be available from this (NOPSA) web site when completed. The existing DSR Guidelines developed by the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (RET) are provided as an interim measure.

Regulation 13 of the DSR requires NOPSA to make available a register of original and revised Diving Safety Management Systems (DSMS). A current Register of Diving Safety Management Systems and Diving Project Plans is maintained on this website.
