Other commercial diving services
Some underwater problems do not fit a service brochure: a blocked intake, a weir that needs checking, a diver on standby during work over water, or an independent opinion before a claim. This category covers exactly that kind of work, with the same planning and reporting discipline as a large project.

In detail
Not every underwater job fits a standard service description. Industrial plants need intake screens cleared and cooling-water systems inspected. Municipalities need a weir checked or an object recovered from a canal. Contractors need a diver on standby while they work over water. Insurers and engineers need an independent underwater opinion before a claim or a design decision.
This category covers that work: underwater cutting, welding and drilling, high-pressure cleaning of structures and screens, cofferdam and pump support, dewatering assistance, obstruction removal, water-safety and standby diver cover, search operations and independent condition opinions. Small jobs get the same paperwork as large ones — dive plan, supervisor, standby diver, report.
If you are not sure which category your problem belongs to, describe the situation and send a photo or a drawing. We will tell you what is realistically possible, what it involves and whether a diver is even the right answer — sometimes an ROV, a survey or a dry-access solution is cheaper and safer.
What you receive
- Free first assessment of the situation from photos or drawings
- Clear statement of what is and is not feasible

Working method
We start from your description, a photo or a drawing and give an honest assessment: what is feasible, what it involves and whether a diver is even the right answer. The agreed scope is then executed with the full set of controls — dive plan, named supervisor, standby diver, permit coordination — and closed with written findings, however short the job.
Equipment and techniques
- Surface-supplied diving systems
- Underwater cutting and welding sets
- High-pressure jetting and airlift equipment
- Sonar and ROV search capability
- Pumps, lifting bags and hydraulic tooling
Safety considerations
- Isolation and lock-out of intakes, pumps and turbines before entry
- Confirmed zero-flow condition where suction risk exists
- Permit-to-work coordination with the site owner
- Standby diver and topside supervisor on every job
