Towable Diving Systems

Phoenix’s Towable Diving Systems (TDSs) are mobile, shallow water diving spreads designed for rapid response to dockside ship repair, inspection, and maintenance work down to 60 fsw.   Supported by a 4- or 5-man diving crew, the systems are dispatched to the Client’s port of choice anywhere along the west, east, and gulf coasts from either our San Diego, CA; Chesapeake, VA; Ft. Lauderdale, FL; or Bayou Vista, LA offices, and set up alongside the vessel/dock to perform the required operation.  This arrangement eliminates the need for costly crane fees and dock charges typically associated with having to mobilize a diving spread on board a vessel, thereby providing a fast, efficient, and economical solution for our Clients.

Some examples of work that can be supported by the TDS include:

  • Vessel Inspections
    • Photos and Video
    • Class Approved Underwater in lieu of Drydocking (UWILD) Inspections
  • Hull Cleaning
  • Propeller Straightening/Cropping/Polishing
  • Class Approved Underwater Welding/Burning/Cutting
  • Inland Diving Operations
  • Seal Repairs
  • Bow/Stern Thruster Exchanges
  • Overboard Installations
  • Shipboard Cofferdams
  • Aperture Blanking Installations
