What is Hazmat Diving?
Hazmat Diving (Hazardous Materials Diving) involves specialized underwater operations in environments that pose significant health and safety risks due to the presence of toxic, biological, or chemical contaminants.
Our team is equipped to handle Category 1, 2, and 3 hazardous environments, including:
✔ Biological Hazards – Bacteria, viruses, parasites, and sewage exposure.
✔ Chemical Hazards – Industrial chemicals, fuel spills, hydrocarbon contamination.
✔ Heavy Metal Exposure – Lead, mercury, cadmium, and other toxic metals.
✔ Radioactive & Nuclear Contaminants – Nuclear cooling ponds and decommissioning sites.
To protect our divers, we use fully encapsulated dry suits, positive-pressure full-face masks, surface-supplied air systems, and custom decontamination procedures that meet CSA Z275.2 & OSHA 1910.120 HAZWOPER standards.
