Diving doctors & clinics
Undergoing a medical examination is a prerequisite for both divers
and personnel operating within the diving industry. In addition, it is
crucial to establish an effective medical contingency plan in the event
of an unforeseen accident.

clinics, click on the text or the button below.
Diving equipment manufacturers & suppliers
This section offers access to an array of diving equipment
manufacturers and suppliers. It should be noted that some provide
fully assembled diving systems while others specialize in individual
components such as regulators, cylinders, analysers, helmets, and
other items. To gain access to this section, click on the button below.
Underwater tools and their support equipment
Acquiring tools and various machines constitutes a crucial aspect of
diving undertakings. This page furnishes hyperlinks to producers
and suppliers, enabling procurement services to obtain hefty gear
like generators or dredging pumps, hand-held instruments,
inspection tools, etc. However, note that manufacturers of cranes are
not included in this inventory.
ROVs and AUVs
Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and Autonomous Underwater
Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly utilized for subaquatic operations, as
they offer effective support to diving activities and enable
interventions at depths beyond the reach of divers.
This section connects to various ROV and AUV manufacturers,
ranging from heavy-duty work-class units to compact machines
that can fit in a backpack. Additionally, it provides links to accessory
and spare part providers. It is worth mentioning that novel
manufacturers and technologies constantly emerge.

Originally a term used in military contexts to describe the acquisition,
storage, and transportation of equipment and supplies, "logistics" has
since evolved into a broader concept that encompasses the planning,
execution, and management of the efficient flow and storage of
goods, services, and related information from their origin to their final
destination. This process is critical across various industries,
particularly the diving industry.
This page provides links to the following services that are regularly
updated:
Medical equipment
This section aims to ease the acquisition process of medical
equipment and promote devices not featured in the diving
organizations' published lists. However, it is essential to remember that
this does not prevent the necessity for guidance and supervision
from a skilled specialist in diving medicine.
Underwater navigation and visualization systems
Efficient navigation and seamless movement on a work site are
crucial for divers and ROV pilots, alongside an unambiguous vision of
the activities being conducted. This segment provides access to
reliable manufacturers in the subsequent domains:
- Navigation and cartography systems
- SONAR technology for subaquatic vehicles and divers
- Providers of electronic as well as sampling systems.
Ship chartering companies
It is not uncommon for diving and remotely operated vehicle (ROV)
companies to lack the necessary resources to maintain a vessel or
have a limited number of vessels available for specific periods of
operation. To address this issue, we offer a selection of links to
companies that provide rental services for Diving Support Vessels or
other suitable vessels capable of accommodating portable diving
systems. Access these links by clicking on the button below.
Shipyards
A shipyard is a facility that specializes in the construction, repair, and
maintenance of ships. These facilities vary in size depending on the
vessels they are handling and are strategically located near the sea
or tidal rivers for easy access to their boats. Large shipyards come
equipped with specialized cranes, dry docks, slipways, dust-free
warehouses, painting facilities, and extensive areas for fabricating or
maintaining ships.
Diving and ROV companies that own vessels must regularly maintain
them; however, this maintenance often needs to be done far from
the port where the boat is based. To address this challenge
effectively, we have deemed it useful to provide links to websites
containing lists of shipyards where boats can be maintained, repaired,
or built. Some of these listed companies also offer client support
services.

Training establishments & Recruitment agencies
Training is an essential aspect for individuals involved in diving and
ROV activities. Therefore, we have meticulously compiled lists of
reputable diving and ROV schools as well as offshore survival training
centres. These resources cater to those who aspire to enter the
industry and are searching for a suitable institution or for individuals
unable to undergo refresher training at their familiar centre for
various reasons.
Furthermore, it is commonplace for self-employed individuals to seek
employment opportunities upon completion of projects, while
employers require competent personnel for upcoming ventures.
Consequently, we provide a comprehensive list of recruitment
agencies that can assist both parties in achieving their respective
goals. Click on the button below to open them.
Banks, insurances, and medical assistance
Financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies play a
crucial role in financing projects while also safeguarding the
interests of a company and its personnel. Similarly, medical
assistance firms are indispensable when it comes to providing
necessary aid for contractors during emergency situations like
evacuation and treatment of injured or sick individuals. Note that,
according to the International Labour Organization, an effective
medical evacuation system is imperative. A list of such organizations
can be accessed by clicking the button below.
