Conges terminology question

Amanda Haste PhD, DipTrans(IoLET), MCIL, CL 
asked this question:
|
Language pair: |
French > English |
|
Subject: |
Technical / Engineering |
|
Level of diffculty: |
Easy / medium |
|
Word or term in question: |
plongeur/plongeur scaphandrier |
|
Context: |
Job descriptions of commercial divers, but scaph can work (welding etc), plongeur can't |
|
Keywords: |
Can't find an ENglish tech term anywhere. Scaph = 'certified diver'? Both are qualified, but scaph is more so....doesn't seem to be a matter of depth either, so 'diver/deep sea diver' distinction won't work. |
This question has already been answered and rated. Therefore, no new answers can be given.

diver/underwater worker
My comment:
The distinction is the type of work done and the umbilical tying the diver to a surface plaftform. A diver is normally autonomous.

Trouble is, they're both professionals, and both qualified (see my original comments under 'context'). Any other suggestions? :-/
