When you enter today's tough, but
very exciting and rewarding field of commercial diving,
you will have the opportunity to find yourself a career
that offers you personal satisfaction, advancement and
diversity of assignments.*
Real-world projects, pressures and
deadlines are used to help acquire the high demand
skills for commercial diving. IDI's curriculum provides
both entry level and advanced diver training. IDI's
facility is designed as a safe, yet realistic, open
water work-site environment located on the old navy base
in Charleston, South Carolina. IDI has on-site access to
an ex-Navy, submarine, floating dry-dock for training purposes. IDI's
students not only gain technical skills, but also
develop the professional qualities that are
attractive to employers of commercial
divers. IDI houses Sea Research Society's
library at its corporate office. That
library includes thousands of books,
magazines, maps and charts. It also includes
tens of thousands of prints, photographs and
slides relating to sport and commercial divers and
a wide range of dive related work. Students can
read about and research everything from sunken
treasure to the evolution of diving gear. International Diving
Institute (IDI) is a state licensed commercial
diving school offering classroom instruction,
in-water training and certification for commercial
divers. IDI has two 54" hyperbaric chambers (for recompression and decompression), one of which is fitted out for saturation diving (i.e. a dive bell can be attached to it). The other, built in the United Kingdom (UK), was certified by Lloyd's in 2004. IDI has a wide variety of equipment by manufacturers and designers such as Desco, Gorsky, Klein, Miller Dunn, and Kirby Morgan. Our main campus and dive site is located on the Cooper River less than one block from the H.L. Hunley submarine conservation lab and only minutes from the heart of historic Charleston's tourist center. Divers can purchase or rent most types of sport (scuba) and commercial dive equipment through IDI's retail dive facility, located at their corporate headquarters in Summerville, South Carolina. Why train in weather that is either too cold or too hot? Be like the millions of tourists who visit Charleston every year, come and enjoy South Carolina's coastal climate, sand beaches and fine dining.

However, professional divers are frequently known to the general public as deepsea divers, helmet divers or hardhat divers. Established in
1996

Start your diving instruction immediately. International Diving Institute (IDI) is a member of Association of Diving Contractors International (ADC) and trains to the Standards published by the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the National Association of SCUBA Educators (NASE), and the Sea Research Society (SRS). Each IDI elective course (advanced program or certification) that a diver takes increases the diver's overall effectiveness as a commercial diver (deep-sea diver) and thus his worth to his employer and should result in higher pay. Each elective should not only be thought of as an investment in a diver's financial future, but also an investment in the diver's personal safety and enjoyment of his work in the field of commercial diving (also known as professional or deep-sea diving). Whether you dive in the deep sea or in hazardous waste, the respect you get is real.
