What is Contaminated Diving?
Contaminated diving refers to any underwater operation performed in water that contains hazardous, toxic, or infectious substances, requiring specialized equipment, safety protocols, and decontamination procedures.
Our contaminated diving team is trained to operate in Category 1 to Category 3 hazardous environments, including:
✔ Biological Hazards – Bacteria, viruses, sewage, and algae blooms.
✔ Chemical Hazards – Hydrocarbons, industrial effluents, and toxic waste.
✔ Heavy Metal & Oil Contamination – Lead, mercury, fuel spills, and industrial byproducts.
✔ Radioactive Exposure Zones – Nuclear cooling ponds and decommissioning sites.
To mitigate exposure risks, our divers use fully encapsulated dry suits, surface-supplied air, and closed-circuit breathing systems with integrated contamination barriers and custom decontamination units.
