Since 1995, Independent Diving Services has been offering vessel companies and their operators the freedom that comes with our reliability. Our unconditional service and expertise, available any hour of any day, including holidays, is a cornerstone of our mission to provide the best possible services for clients.

We don’t claim to be experts at every service under the sun like some diving companies do–but we are experts in what we have consistently done well since our founding, the areas of vessel & barge repair. We choose to specialize exclusively in those areas to ensure that when a client needs assistance they know we are the premier provider and that no one, anywhere, can do it better.
