What is Contaminated Water Diving?
Contaminated water diving refers to underwater work performed in hazardous conditions, where divers may be exposed to toxic, biological, or chemical contaminants. Specialized hazmat diving gear, strict decontamination protocols, and WorkSafe BC & CSA Z275.2 safety complianceare required to minimize risks.
Our divers are trained to work in Category 1, 2, and 3 hazardous environments, including:
✔ Biological Hazards – Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and sewage exposure.
✔ Chemical Hazards – Industrial effluents, hydrocarbon contamination, and heavy metals.
✔ Toxic Waste & Oil Spills – Petroleum, fuel spills, and industrial byproducts.
✔ Radioactive Environments – Nuclear cooling ponds and hazardous waste sites.
To ensure zero-exposure contamination, our divers use fully encapsulated hazmat dry suits, positive-pressure full-face masks, surface-supplied air systems, and custom decontamination procedures following CSA Z275.2, WorkSafe BC, and OSHA 1910.120 HAZWOPER standards.
