Commercial Diving

Time is Money
The Commercial Diver is not going Underwater for Fun!

Commercial divers are trained technicians who are paid for the skills they can accomplish underwater; diving is simply a unique mode of transportation.  Commercial / Industrial Diving is considered a hazardous occupation; both the underwater environment and the often complex procedures necessary to carry out the work assignments can present severe hazards to divers’ safety and health.  For these reasons, Commercial Diving requires teamwork and tacit understanding among all the team members, who must be trained, qualified and physically fit for the tasks being performed.

Unfortunately, Local Government Officials, Civil & Marine Contractors (Employers) and Divers (Employees) are not always clear about the distinction between Recreational and Commercial Diving.  There may be little difference in appearance between a fully kitted-out recreational diver in a wetsuit and tank about to explore the coral reef and a commercial diver about to repair a ship’s propeller in the harbour, but there is a world of difference in the levels of training, certification, regulation, safety and equipment required.

Commercial Diving in Hong Kong mainly works for civil-marinemarine facilities, vessel maintenance, mooring systems, wreck recovery etc.  Although the working depth for such Works is relatively shallow (do not exceed 30 meters), a Dive Team consisting of a minimum of One Diving SupervisorOne Working Diver and One Tender/Standby Diver using the Surface Air Supply with Communication or Tethered SCUBA system is required regardless of water depth.  Nevertheless, the Dive Team’s operation experience and know-how in performing the necessary tasks are crucial for safety and efficiency.
