Containerised Dive Station (Surface-Supplied Air)
Our containerised dive stations are designed to deliver safe, reliable, and fully compliant surface-supplied air diving operations for both inshore and offshore projects.
Built inside standard 20ft ISO containers, they integrate all critical systems — breathing air supply, dive control, communications, video, diver umbilicals, power distribution, safety & medical support — into a single, compact and mobile unit.
By combining IMCA-compliant design (D018/D023) with certifications from Lloyd’s Register, RINA, CCS, and ISO, our dive stations ensure fast mobilisation, high safety standards, and operational efficiency for demanding subsea projects worldwide.
