Based in the strategic maritime hub of Veracruz, TechDiving operates as a specialized provider of underwater and industrial inspection services within the Mexican and broader Latin American maritime sectors. Since beginning operations in 1997, the company has focused on supporting the structural integrity and operational readiness of marine assets, ranging from commercial vessels to offshore energy infrastructure. It functions primarily as a technical partner to shipowners, shipyard operators, and energy companies, ensuring that submerged and topside structures meet rigorous safety and regulatory standards.
The company’s core identity revolves around its capability to execute complex technical tasks beneath the water line. Unlike general ship chandlers or basic maintenance firms, TechDiving concentrates on high-precision engineering assessments, particularly non-destructive testing (NDT) and thickness measurement. Its diving teams are trained to deploy advanced diagnostic methods—such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, and alternating current field measurement (ACFM)—to detect corrosion, fatigue, or structural anomalies in ship hulls, jack-up rigs, and semi-submersible platforms.
Beyond inspection, the company plays an active role in the maintenance and repair of marine equipment. Its operational scope includes underwater cutting and welding, propeller polishing, hull cleaning, and the installation or replacement of anodes. These services are critical for vessel efficiency and fuel economy, as well as for extending the lifecycle of offshore assets. The organization maintains a dedicated training institute, ensuring its personnel adhere to strict industrial diving standards and safety protocols consistent with international maritime requirements.
TechDiving works in close coordination with major classification societies, holding certifications that allow it to perform surveys recognized by global regulatory bodies. This alignment with class standards enables the company to certify the seaworthiness and safety of vessels and platforms, satisfying requirements for insurance and maritime authorities. While its primary base is on the Gulf of Mexico, its mobile teams deploy across the Pacific coast and into the Caribbean, servicing a diverse range of infrastructure including pipelines, pressure vessels, and port facilities. Through its decades of activity, the firm has integrated itself into the regional maritime supply chain as a key enabler of fleet compliance and offshore safety.
