Steven came in, reviewed our entire program documentation, and delivered a report that clearly mapped every gap against ADCI standards. We knew exactly what to fix.

Program Director
Southern Louisiana Community College

We had been operating with the same emergency procedures for years. Steven's audit found three critical gaps we didn't know existed. That's the kind of oversight that saves lives.

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

Don't see your question here? Ask Steven directly during your free program review call.

Our primary clients are community college commercial diving programs in Southern Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region, along with offshore oil & gas operators and private diving contractors who need safety program support, compliance reviews, or curriculum development.
All work is aligned to ADCI (Association of Diving Contractors International) standards and applicable OSHA regulations — including 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T for commercial diving operations. We also incorporate IMCA guidance where relevant.
Yes. We offer end-to-end curriculum design services — from defining program outcomes and course sequencing to writing competency assessments and supporting the accreditation process. We work directly with department faculty and administration.
Both. We can conduct on-site audits at your facility, dive site, or training pool, as well as remote documentation reviews and virtual consultation sessions. The scope is agreed upon during the discovery call.
A standard safety audit and report delivery takes approximately 30 days from kick-off. Full curriculum development projects typically run 60–90 days depending on program scope. Ongoing advisory retainers are structured on a monthly basis.
That's a common starting point. We offer focused procedure reviews as a standalone service — you send us your documentation and we provide a written assessment against current ADCI/OSHA standards with specific recommendations.
