Based in the coastal industrial hub of the Mumbai metropolitan region, Deep Diving & Marine Services is a specialized provider of commercial diving and subsea engineering solutions. Established in 2015, the firm functions as a critical support entity for the maritime, shipping, and offshore industries, focusing on the underwater maintenance and inspection of vessels and marine infrastructure. Founded by professionals with backgrounds in the Indian Navy and international commercial diving sectors, the company integrates military-grade discipline with commercial operational standards to address complex subsea challenges.
The core of the company's operations lies in ensuring the structural integrity and operational efficiency of ocean-going vessels. It is widely recognized for its capability to perform Underwater Inspection in Lieu of Dry Docking (UWILD), a vital service that allows ship owners to satisfy regulatory survey requirements without the costly and time-consuming process of taking a ship out of the water. To facilitate these inspections, the company maintains approvals from major members of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS), including the American Bureau of Shipping, Bureau Veritas, ClassNK, and the Indian Register of Shipping. These credentials authorize their diving teams to certify the safety and condition of hulls, helping operators maintain compliance with global maritime safety standards.
Beyond inspections, the firm executes a broad spectrum of underwater maintenance tasks designed to optimize vessel performance. Its operational teams regularly conduct hull cleaning and propeller polishing services, which remove marine fouling to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency for merchant ships. When structural repairs are necessary, the company deploys divers skilled in underwater wet welding and cutting, allowing for immediate remediation of damage to rudders, bilge keels, and hull plating.
While its primary focus remains on the shipping sector, Deep Diving & Marine Services also extends its expertise to civil marine projects. The company undertakes underwater work for dams, jetties, and ports, offering services such as desilting, seabed surveys, and search and recovery operations. With a footprint that spans major ports across both the east and west coasts of India—including Mumbai, Mundra, and Kakinada—the firm mobilizes rapid-response diving teams to support the continuous movement of maritime trade and the upkeep of critical offshore assets.
