DKG Diving Services is a specialized commercial diving and marine engineering contractor that supports the global maritime, offshore, and civil infrastructure sectors. Established in 2014 with its initial roots in Mumbai, India, the company has evolved from a localized diving operation into an international subsea service provider with a significant presence in the Middle East, particularly in the United Arab Emirates. The organization focuses on delivering technical underwater solutions that ensure the operational readiness and structural integrity of vessels, offshore platforms, and marine terminals.
The core of the company’s operations lies in its ability to execute complex underwater tasks without requiring dry-docking. For the shipping industry, DKG Diving Services performs critical maintenance routines such as underwater hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and fouling removal. These interventions are designed to improve vessel hydrodynamics, reduce fuel consumption, and maintain fleet efficiency. Beyond routine cleaning, the company executes technical repairs, including underwater welding, cutting, and the blanking of sea chests, allowing shipowners to address mechanical issues while their assets remain afloat.
In addition to maintenance, DKG Diving Services is heavily involved in underwater inspection and surveying. The firm holds approvals from numerous major classification societies to conduct underwater inspections in lieu of dry-docking (UWILD). Using advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, photography, and videography, their diving teams provide detailed assessments of hull conditions, helping operators meet regulatory compliance and assess damage.
The company’s capabilities extend beyond ship husbandry into the offshore and civil construction arenas. Their teams support heavy marine engineering projects, assisting with the installation of subsea pipelines, cable laying, and the placement of concrete blocks for quay wall construction. They also provide support for saturation diving and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations in deeper waters. Adhering to stringent safety protocols and international industry standards, DKG Diving Services employs certified commercial divers and utilizes specialized hydraulic and pneumatic equipment to manage operations in challenging subsea environments. Through its expansion across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, the company serves as a vital technical partner for ship managers and offshore operators requiring reliable underwater intervention.
