Commercial Dive Specialists (CDS) strive to be a respected benchmark in the commercial diving industry and partner of choice for all our customers.
CDS provide quality commercial diving services and marine construction in any underwater environment - using our safe and skilled dive team.
Our customers are located throughout New Zealand within a number of industries including marine, biosecurity, construction, shipping and engineering.
You can expect an open and transparent relationship when working with us, as we understand the trust required when customers typically can't see what is happening underwater.
Health and safety is the backbone to our operations and fundamental to every project we undertake. This tends to makes our dive team more effective and efficient in the water as the divers work with trust and confidence. We dive strictly to the Australasian dive standard AS/NZS 2299.1 and meet all the New Zealand standards.
