Brown Dive Underwater Services Ltd operates as a specialized commercial diving and subsea engineering contractor based in Lagos, Nigeria. Since its incorporation and commencement of operations in mid-2007, the company has evolved from a dedicated diving outfit into a broader marine support entity serving the West African maritime, oil and gas, and civil engineering sectors. Located near the major port hub of Apapa, the firm provides critical below-the-waterline maintenance and technical services that ensure the seaworthiness and operational continuity of vessels and offshore structures.
The company’s core activities focus on the maintenance and inspection of marine assets. Brown Dive Underwater Services Ltd executes essential husbandry tasks such as underwater hull cleaning and propeller polishing, which are vital for maintaining vessel fuel efficiency and performance. Beyond routine cleaning, the company deploys divers and technical teams to conduct underwater inspections and surveys. These operations utilize photography and closed-circuit video systems to assess hull integrity, sea chests, and other submerged equipment, often satisfying the requirements of international classification societies and regulatory bodies.
In addition to inspection and cleaning, the company engages in complex subsea repairs and construction support. Its technical capabilities extend to underwater cutting and welding (burning), profile bending, and the repair of jetties and port infrastructure. The firm also retains the capacity for salvage operations, assisting in the recovery of sunken vessels and lost items. The scope of its work encompasses both offshore environments and inland waterways, including the cleaning of dams and maintenance of civil marine structures.
Brown Dive Underwater Services Ltd primarily serves ship owners, shipping agents, and oil and gas operators active in the Gulf of Guinea, including anchorages in Lagos and Cotonou, Benin Republic. The organization places a strong emphasis on safety protocols and quality management, aiming to deliver projects—ranging from deep-sea interventions to harbor surveys—without compromising personnel safety. By combining local expertise with established diving standards, the company acts as a key support provider for the maritime logistics supply chain in the region.
