Subsea Construction & Recovery

Salvage diving is the diving work associated with the recovery of all or part of ships, their cargoes, aircraft, and other vehicles and structures which have sunk or fallen into water.

In the case of ships it may also refer to repair work done to make an abandoned or distressed but still floating vessel more suitable for towing or propulsion under its own power.

Construction diving supports inspection and work on underwater structures. Divers use task-appropriate tools and remain in communication with the surface team.

Underwater search and recovery involves locating and recovering submerged objects. Depending on the task, this may involve divers, remotely operated vehicles or surface equipment.
