Crux Diving operates as a specialized provider of commercial diving and marine service solutions, headquartered in Kenmore, Washington. Since its establishment in 2016, the company has functioned as a certified Woman-Owned Small Business, delivering underwater expertise to a broad spectrum of clients across the Western United States, including Washington, Oregon, California, and extending to American Samoa. The firm primarily supports heavy civil contracting, federal government projects, and the maritime logistics industry by executing complex tasks beneath the waterline.
The company’s core activities are deeply rooted in marine construction and infrastructure maintenance. Teams of certified divers and support personnel are deployed to maintain and rehabilitate critical assets such as bridges, piers, dams, and hydroelectric facilities. In the context of heavy civil engineering, the firm performs a variety of technical underwater applications, including hyperbaric welding, burning, core drilling, concrete restoration, and steel erection. These services are essential for extending the operational lifespan of aging port structures and ensuring the structural integrity of transportation networks that traverse waterways.
Within the shipping and offshore sectors, Crux Diving plays a vital role in vessel maintenance through comprehensive ship husbandry services. The organization assists shipowners and operators in optimizing fuel efficiency and vessel performance by removing marine growth and maintaining propulsion systems. Specific capabilities include hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and general underwater repairs. Notably, the company is recognized as an approved service supplier by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to conduct Underwater Inspections in Lieu of Drydocking (UWILD). This certification allows the firm to perform rigorous class inspections while vessels remain afloat, thereby reducing downtime and operational costs for maritime fleets.
Beyond routine maintenance and construction, the company maintains readiness for high-stakes salvage and emergency response operations. The firm possesses the technical capacity to handle marine casualty response, heavy lifting, and deep-water recovery missions. To support these demanding environments, operations often utilize advanced diving techniques, including mixed-gas and saturation diving, as well as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) for inspections in hazardous zones. All operations are conducted in strict alignment with the safety standards and procedural guidelines established by the Association of Diving Contractors International, ensuring that personnel and client assets remain protected during intricate subsea interventions.
