Questions about diving operations
What clients ask before the work starts: scope, timing, paperwork, equipment and safety. If your question is not here, just ask us.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you start?
For emergencies we mobilise at any hour. Planned work is scheduled after we inspect the site — usually within a week.
Do you work in winter and through the polar night?
Yes, all year round. Hot-water suits allow long spells in ice water, while underwater lighting and communications take care of the polar night.
What documents does the client receive?
A contract, a quotation, completion certificates and a photo and video record of every stage. For in-water surveys — the documents required by the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping.
At what depths and where do you operate?
Working depths are up to 60 metres. Our main area is Murmansk, Kola Bay, the Barents Sea and the Murmansk Region. Mobilisation to other regions is agreed separately.
How is the price made up?
Depth, scope and complexity, access to the site, and urgency. That is why we inspect the site first and only then quote a firm figure — and it does not change as the work goes on.
How do I hire a diving contractor in Murmansk?
Send a request through the site or call us — we will clarify the task, inspect the site if needed and prepare a quotation. The team and the gear are our own; nothing is hired in, so we mobilise as soon as terms are agreed.
What kind of work do you do underwater?
Underwater welding and cutting, salvage, in-water surveys of vessels attended by the Russian Maritime Register, inspection of structures with photo and video record, repair and construction of marine structures, jetting, cavitation cleaning, drilling, anode replacement and dive support.
Can we charter the diving spread with a crew?
Yes. We provide a fully equipped diving spread with a certified crew for your underwater engineering scope — on a rotational basis directly at your site.
Is the equipment yours or do you hire it in?
The fleet is our own and is renewed continuously: NEMO cordless tools, hydraulics with the HYCON power pack, a cavitation unit, welding and cutting equipment, a decompression chamber, compressors, Kirby Morgan helmets and hot-water suits.
Does the vessel have to be taken out of service or docked?
As a rule, no. Welding, hull cleaning, inspection and RS-attended surveys are all carried out afloat — without lifting or docking, which saves weeks of downtime.
Can you inspect underwater without putting a diver in the water?
Yes. For inspecting hulls and structures we use the RB-550 remotely operated vehicle with video recording — where a dive is not required or would be unwise.
How is safety managed?
Dives follow a set procedure: communications with the diver, oversight by the spread supervisor, and a decompression chamber and life-support equipment kept ready. The work is planned and controlled by the diving superintendent.
