Diving--Commercial

About the Diving-Commercial heading in Yellow™

For information regarding commercial diving look under this Yellow™ heading. Diving is not only a hobby. It is also a useful service to clients who need to operate equipment on and underwater or who need to know the conditions of a specific underwater location. Commercial diving services include but are not limited to oil field services, civil construction, marine salvage, ship maintenance, survey services for ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle), environmental surveys, and pipeline and cable work. These services require experienced professional divers.

There are many types of commercial diving services. Oil field services are an example and these include repair and maintenance of floating facilities and sea chest cleaning and sealing for valve work. Non-destructive testing is also a diving service that is common. This comprises testings and surveys such as marine growth measurement, cathodic protection systems assessment, video and photographic surveys, electromagnetic inspection and mechanical inspection.

Civil construction underwater makes use of some of the services mentioned above. Aside from these, commercial diving services involve formwork and concreting, pile work, aggregate placement, sea bed drilling, and underwater sand blasting. In events when a marine vessel sinks, diving services are a necessity for marine salvage. This entails recovery of vessel and equipment, and incident inspection to determine the cause of the failure. Ship owners also require diving services to know the over-all condition of their vessel. Divers may check for aquatic pests, paint condition, damage, and security, and perform maintenance of the propeller, rudder, shaft, and stem tube. Environmental organizations and agencies usually have divers, as well, to asses the marine environment, conduct marine biological surveys, do sampling of water and sediment to test for contamination, and to install necessary underwater instruments.
