Drawing from over 3 decades of combined diving experience, our divers not only specialise in diving co-ordination for media projects to facilitate filming in and around water, but also water safety for aquatic events, commercial and industrial projects, underwater and near-water rigging, inspections, surveys, marine salvage, rescue operations and commercial diving projects.
Our highly qualified team members are trained to the highest level in both professional and recreational diving instruction as well as to industry standard HSE PART 4 (Professional SCUBA) and HSE Parts 1 & 3 (Surface Supply and Wet Bell/CSS Top-Up). In addition, all of our divers carry other qualifications in first aid and first aid at work and/or: advanced life support, swift water rescue, RYA powerboat/rescue, rope rescue, caving, canyoning, kayaking, canoeing and even mountain leadership!
We operate under the strictest codes of practice set by the HSE and associated governing bodies which cover diving at work regulations and have dived in some of the most hazardous and hostile aquatic environments imaginable either working or exploring underwater.
We work closely with our clients from conception to implementation to ensure that their specific requirements are considered and measured against current safety and practical operational protocols and that our service and support is tailored to the needs of each stage, frame or phase of the project.
If we are not working, then we are training and making sure we are current with new protocols, technology and equipment.
We pride ourselves that our client’s initial expectations are almost always superseded by the end product, achieved by working together, diving safe and working clever!

HSE Regulations
Please note that all categories of diving projects in the UK are regulated by the HSE (Health ' Safety Executive). You cannot work against or around these guidelines without compromising essential safety standards and placing people's lives in danger. Such occurrences in the past by less-scrupulous/reputable outfits have seen everyone from front-line crew to Producers and Directors and Contractors facing legal action, huge fines, criminal conviction and/or a custodial sentence in certain cases.
If, however, you work by/with these guidelines like we do and a throw in a splash of experience, cunning and imagination, then you can only imagine just how successful the project will be!
