Frequently Asked Questions — Wilmington, CA
Do you provide dive equipment and support anywhere in CA, and how does mobilisation work for remote jobs?
We support dive operations throughout CA and can ship or arrange delivery to Wilmington and other sites. Equipment is typically mobilised on a spread that includes compressors, dive suits, communications, and support gear; mobilisation is quoted separately from the daily crew rate because it covers the cost of getting the equipment and team to and from the job. A large mobilisation charge usually explains why one bid is higher than another even when daily rates look similar.
What should we plan for in terms of lead time and permits before scheduling a rented or purchased dive system?
Plan for your own site-specific permits, such as work in navigable waterways, coastal zone permits, or CA-level commercial diving notifications. Equipment scheduling is typically first-come, first-served, and we recommend confirming availability two to three weeks ahead, especially for seasonal work in Wilmington. Some marine construction or underwater inspection work requires local permits and a dive plan that complies with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T.
How is commercial diving equipment and support typically priced?
In the commercial diving industry, you pay a crew/spread day rate for the full team and equipment, plus a separate mobilisation charge to get everything on site. Inspection work is often quoted per structure or per substructure unit, while marine construction is usually unit-priced per linear foot or per pile. The mobilisation line is the most common reason two bids differ significantly, so compare it carefully.
What kind of documentation or reports do you provide with an equipment sale or rental, especially for inspection work?
With any rental or sale, you get a calibration and inspection sheet for the equipment. For inspection work, we supply dive logs and an electronic or written report that documents findings, photos, and any measurements. If the job is an underwater bridge inspection, the report must be prepared by a team leader meeting FHWA-NHI requirements and follow the interval rules in 23 CFR 650.311.
