Based in the Dominican Republic, Caribe Divers Works operates as a specialized commercial diving and marine service provider, delivering underwater solutions to the shipping, offshore, and maritime infrastructure sectors. Established in 1992, the company has maintained a long-standing presence in the Caribbean region, functioning as a key technical resource for vessel operators and port authorities requiring subsea intervention. Headquartered in Santo Domingo, the firm distinguishes itself as a fully regulated diving contractor, organizing its operations around strict safety protocols and industry-recognized quality standards.
The company’s primary operational focus lies in underwater ship husbandry and maintenance. It provides essential services that ensure the seaworthiness and efficiency of merchant vessels without the need for dry-docking. These services include hull cleaning and propeller polishing to reduce drag and fuel consumption, as well as underwater cutting, welding, and cofferdam repairs to address structural issues while ships remain afloat. A significant portion of its workload involves in-water surveys and inspections. The company utilizes closed-circuit television (CCTV) and photography to document hull conditions, rudder clearances, and tail shaft wear. These inspections are frequently conducted to meet the rigorous requirements of major classification societies, allowing vessel owners to maintain compliance with international maritime regulations.
Beyond ship-specific work, Caribe Divers Works plays a vital role in marine construction and civil engineering projects across the Caribbean. The company has supported the development of port facilities, including the construction of piers, breakwaters, and entrance channels in locations such as Rio Haina and Cap Cana. Its divers are also skilled in dredging operations, sheet wall installation, and the placement of marine navigation buoys.
The firm’s expertise extends to the offshore energy and telecommunications sectors. It manages the installation and maintenance of submarine fiber optic cables, ensuring connectivity through the landing and protection of subsea lines. Additionally, the company services critical infrastructure for power plants, maintaining cooling systems, trash racks, and discharge pipelines. It also handles Mooring Systems (CBM and SBM), executing bottom surveys, bathymetry, and the installation of buoys and pipelines to facilitate offshore tanker operations. Through these diverse capabilities, Caribe Divers Works supports the continuity of maritime trade and industrial operations throughout the Dominican Republic and the wider Caribbean basin.
