R.O.V. would like to be placed on your list of qualified bidders for underwater inspections.

Due to recent O.S.H.A. clarifications of its 1910, Subpart T, Commercial Diving Regulations you are in violation of Federal Law and are exposing your organization to needless liability issues and fines of up to $100,000 if you are using local SCUBA divers, Rescue Recovery Team divers or sport certified SCUBA diving engineers who do not meet these minimum requirements for your underwater inspections.

R.O.V. is a legal and cost effective alternative.

If you are using O.S.H.A. legal dive teams the use of a ROV in place of divers will lower your total inspection costs significantly.  This is due to the lower overall logistical requirements, the reduction of the number of crew members required under the regulations (3 persons for surface supplied divers, 5 persons for SCUBA operations in enclosed spaces) and the fact that we are based in the Northeast. 

R.O.V. IS NOT A DIVING COMPANY.

We are not a branch of, or in any way affiliated with any commercial diving company. Additionally, we are solely an inspection company, we don't have the ability to perform repairs at your facility. We have no reason to exaggerate minor defects in an attempt to generate additional work. What does this mean to you? It means that we are providing you with a truthful, unbiased and unexaggerated assessment of your underwater structures.

R.O.V. has one of the highest and most extensive experience levels 

in the industry.

One of our active partners has over 3 decades of full time worldwide commercial diving experience covering the inspection, installation, construction and rehabilitation of hundreds of underwater structures.  He was a member of the support crew assigned to one of the first ROVs in the North Sea Oil Fields in the ‘70s and was listed in Who’s Who for contributions to the commercial diving industry.
