According to the Chilean Navy, commercial divers are those who “in possession of the registration have a level of preparation that allows the use of any equipment necessary to perform underwater work that is directly or indirectly related to their activity”. In short, it is the one who is able to dive Deep underwater to perform various types of work.

“Where there is any liquid, water or fluid, in conditions of good, medium or no visibility, in confined or polluted waters, qualified commercial divers are required,” says the institution. At ASI Group LatAm, we specialized in this type of trade, therefore, commercial divers play a fundamental role in the company: carrying our rescue, salvage, maintenance, construction, blasting, location and recovery of lost objects, installation of submerged structures and repair of underwater equipment, among, others.

ITS IMPORTANCE

From there lies the importance of its activity; without their work, the incidents that occur below sea level or in other waters in these terms-and which necessarily require the human hand- could not be solved. This is how we specialized in services with commercial divers, carrying out work under high safety standards, governed by the ASA and ADCI codes, giving our clients the highest quality, professionalism and safety in their performance.
