Hire a Diver

Providing accurate, accessible, and relevant information about dive safety, qualifications, and legal responsibilities.

Promoting safe diving practices, ethical standards, and responsible hiring across Alberta’s diving and marine communities.

Building a connected network of divers, professionals, and stakeholders who support and promote dive safety.

Reducing accidents and loss of life by increasing awareness of the risks of performing or hiring for underwater work without proper training

Hiring the right diver for underwater work is about more than finding someone who knows how to scuba dive; it’s about ensuring they are qualified, certified, and legally permitted to perform the job safely. 

Recreational divers are not qualified for underwater work, no matter how simple it may seem. 

Hiring the wrong kind of diver risks lives, reputations, and livelihoods.

Occupational and commercial divers undergo rigorous training, medical evaluations, and certification processes that prepare them to work in hazardous environments under regulatory standards such as OH&S and CSA.
These professionals are trained to work in challenging environments that most recreational divers do not understand or are prepared for.
