Sub Aqua Diving Services

Sub Aqua Diving Services (UK) Ltd (SADS) was founded in 1975 by Managing Director Anthony Curtis. Anthony started his diving career back in the 1960's and has completed diving operations on almost every conceivable scenario known, oil and gas, marine civil engineering and the renewable energy sector to name a few.

Sub Aqua Diving Services have recently transitioned to ISO 45001 which has replaced the old OHSAS 18001 standard, this has made us one of the first Diving companies in the UK to make the transition, we also operate a quality management system which conforms to ISO 9001:2015, this demonstrates to our long standing and potential new clients our commitment and proactive approach to safety, health and quality in all our undertakings, providing the best service possible, with 6 monthly surveillance assessments and external audits of management systems from UKAS accredited body BSI.

Over the years we have completed projects on rivers including the Tees, Tyne, Wear, Humber and Clyde. For restricted access locations we can supply Rigid Inflatable Boats (R.I.B) which are equipped with fully integrated surface supplied dive systems which have proved to be an invaluable option to a quick response solution.

On many occasions we have been called to recover objects from rivers, reservoirs or from the sea, which includes items that have fell overboard, items that have dismembered from structures or vessels, or unknown obstructions picked up in surveys, our skilled divers have a variety of techniques that will in most cases find the target object, and have the item rigged up and recovered to surface.

Sub Aqua Diving Services (UK) Ltd can assist any shipping agencies or vessel owners with any planned project or emergency work that may arise. We are on call 24 hours a day as a fouled prop or suspected hull damage can occur at any time. In some cases, a video survey of propellers, thrusters, spud legs or the hull of a vessel are for peace of mind for the vessel owners and captain.
