Commercial Diving in Vanuatu
Ports, jetties, vessels, and coastal infrastructure across Vanuatu depend on reliable underwater inspection and maintenance to remain safe and operational. Much of this work happens below the waterline, where structural damage, corrosion, and marine growth can develop unnoticed.
Harcan Marine provides experienced commercial divers in Vanuatu to support marine infrastructure, vessel maintenance, and underwater construction projects. Our team works with port operators, contractors, and asset managers who require practical solutions for underwater inspection, repair, and installation work.
Operating in marine environments such as Port Vila Harbour and other coastal locations across Vanuatu requires divers who understand changing sea conditions, limited visibility, and complex underwater structures. Our dive teams are trained to work safely in these environments while delivering accurate inspections and reliable repair work.

Our Commercial Diving Services in Vanuatu
Harcan Marine supports a wide range of underwater work across Vanuatu’s ports, coastal infrastructure, and marine facilities. Our commercial divers assist contractors, engineers, and asset managers with inspection, maintenance, construction support, and emergency operations.
Each project is planned around site conditions, water depth, visibility, and safety requirements to ensure efficient and reliable underwater work.
Underwater Inspection and Condition Surveys
Underwater inspections are often the first step in understanding the condition of marine infrastructure. Divers can assess structural components that are not visible from the surface and identify issues early.
Our inspection work includes:
- Close visual inspections of underwater structures
- Subsea photography and video documentation
- Structural condition reporting
- Inspection of piles, moorings, and bridge supports
- Surveys of subsea pipelines and infrastructure
These inspections give engineers and asset owners the information they need to plan maintenance or repair work before problems escalate.
Ship Hull Cleaning and Propeller Maintenance
Marine growth builds up quickly in warm coastal waters. If left untreated, fouling on vessel hulls can increase drag and reduce fuel efficiency.
Our commercial divers in Vanuatu carry out in-water maintenance for vessels operating throughout the region, including:
- Hull cleaning to remove marine growth
- Propeller polishing to improve efficiency
- Sea chest cleaning and inspections
- Underwater vessel inspections for maintenance planning
Regular underwater maintenance helps vessel operators maintain performance and avoid unnecessary fuel costs.
Marine Construction and Installation Support
Commercial divers often work alongside engineers and construction teams during marine infrastructure projects. Many structural components must be installed or adjusted below the waterline.
Harcan Marine assists contractors with underwater work during projects such as:
- Wharf and jetty construction
- Steel pile installation
- Mooring system installation
Pipeline installation and maintenance - Subsea structural assembly
Our dive teams coordinate closely with marine contractors to ensure underwater work is completed safely and in accordance with project requirements.
Underwater Maintenance and Structural Repairs
Marine structures gradually deteriorate when exposed to saltwater and constant vessel activity. Regular maintenance helps extend the service life of these assets and prevents unexpected failures.
Our commercial diving services in Vanuatu support ongoing infrastructure maintenance, including:
- Structural inspections of piles and underwater supports
- Installation of corrosion protection systems
- Cathodic protection checks and maintenance
- Underwater cutting and minor structural repairs
Where structural damage requires welding, our divers can also assist with underwater welding in Vanuatu and related repair work.
For regional infrastructure projects, Harcan Marine also provides underwater welding in Australia and underwater welding in Noumea.
Marine Salvage and Emergency Response
Unexpected marine incidents can require urgent underwater work. Vessel collisions, storm damage, or equipment failure may result in damaged structures or submerged assets.
Harcan Marine provides emergency diving support for situations such as:
- Vessel salvage and recovery work
- Inspection of damaged marine infrastructure
- Removal of underwater debris or obstructions
- Damage assessment following marine incidents
Our dive teams can mobilise quickly to assess the situation and help stabilise damaged infrastructure where required.
Environmental and Survey Diving
Some marine projects require underwater environmental monitoring or habitat assessments. Divers are often needed to document marine environments or assist scientific survey teams.
Harcan Marine divers assist environmental consultants and marine researchers with tasks including:
- Reef condition assessments
- Habitat surveys and monitoring
- Underwater photography and video documentation
- Environmental compliance inspections
These surveys help provide accurate data for environmental planning and marine management.
