Ocean Diving serves as a specialized commercial diving and marine technical contractor headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. From this strategic location in the Balearic Islands, the company provides a comprehensive range of underwater services to the shipping, offshore, and large-scale maritime sectors. The organization focuses on underwater ship husbandry and engineering, employing a team of certified divers and technicians to maintain vessel integrity and operational efficiency without the logistical burden of dry-docking.
The company’s core operations revolve around preventative maintenance and performance optimization. Ocean Diving executes hydraulic underwater hull cleaning to remove marine fouling, a process essential for reducing drag and minimizing fuel consumption for transiting vessels. Complementing this, the firm performs propeller polishing, utilizing specialized equipment to restore surface smoothness, which further enhances propulsion efficiency. These routine interventions are critical for ship operators aiming to meet environmental standards and manage voyage costs effectively.
Beyond maintenance, Ocean Diving distinguishes itself through complex underwater technical and engineering works. The operational team is equipped to handle significant mechanical tasks beneath the waterline, such as the mounting and dismounting of rudders, stabilizers, and propellers. They also perform essential isolation procedures, including the sealing of sea chests, bow thrusters, and through-hull fittings, as well as the replacement of sacrificial anodes to prevent corrosion. The company holds approvals from major international classification societies to conduct in-water surveys, utilizing video and photographic documentation to verify hull condition for regulatory compliance.
In addition to scheduled works, the entity maintains a robust emergency response capability. Ocean Diving offers 24-hour salvage and towing services, deploying heavy-duty assets such as 200-ton capacity lift bags, high-volume pumps, and beach gear for stranded vessels. This readiness allows them to address urgent maritime casualties, including refloating operations and structural stabilization. By combining routine husbandry with high-level repair and salvage capabilities, Ocean Diving supports the continuous operation of commercial fleets, ferries, and large marine assets navigating the Mediterranean waters surrounding the Spanish archipelago.
