Our mission statement is simple, Teach our students the skills they need to find lifelong employment in the exciting world of deep diving. Florida Commercial Diving Institute is a post-secondary vocational school designed to provide the commercial diving, recreational diving, and maritime industries with entry-level and post-graduate personnel, who excel in knowledge, skills, safety, and work ethics. Our training is comprehensive, rigorous, and designed with individual student career objectives, abilities, and interests in mind.
Commercial Divers work offshore on oil rigs, oil platforms, wind farms, hyperbaric welding on pipelines, and salvage underwater at depths up to 1200 feet deep. Inshore we work on dams, docks, salvage, nuclear power plants, hydro-electric dams, treatment plants, and more.
Through its extensive network of companies across the diving industry, FCDI is committed to assisting graduates with securing employment. While FCDI does not guarantee employment upon graduation, our job placement statistics consistently exceed established benchmarks.
Up until now, many newly trained divers were ill-equipped without the essential skills required to carry out even the most basic of underwater tasks that diving contractors require. This results in higher risks for dive contractors employing newly qualified divers from both the health and safety and commercial perspective.
At Florida Commercial Diving Institute you’re not just a number. You will be part of a close-knit fraternity of exceptionally well-trained professional divers.
