• Pre-planned and rehearsed rescue procedures
• Retrieval and extraction systems
• Emergency breathing apparatus
• 24/7 response capability

Importantly, all rescue operations are designed to ensure immediate intervention, without relying solely on emergency services.

Where entry is unavoidable, Diveworks International provides fully managed confined space entry teams, including:

• Competent confined space operatives
• Supervisors and top men
• Permit-to-work management

We support a wide range of confined space projects, including:

• Structural inspections (culverts, tanks, shafts)

This integrated capability is particularly valuable where confined space and diving operations overlap.
