Working divers who train divers to work

Here we go again!

2017 was busy!  The inshore industry seems to be steadily climbing onwards and upwards and we have seen some of our very first course graduates going on to take saturation diving jobs globally.  The ‘big red boats’ are now undergoing some minor refurbishment whilst the 10m hard boats are full steam ahead with inshore work for the next few months.  Teams are working in Plymouth & Salcombe, both employing ex-graduates, some newly qualified, some now seasoned veterans!

Our next course starts on February 5th.  Course bookings are on the up and 2018 looks like it’s goin to get off to a good start.  If you would like to book for the February course, don’t leave it too late!
