Mission Statement

"The Divers Association is a Nonprofit International Organisation formed for the sole purpose of promoting commercial diving safety through regulation and education.

It is not Anti, or Pro any Diving Contractor Association or Union. It will not involve itself in pay or employment issues.

The sole purpose of The Divers Association is to work closely with Regulatory Bodies and groups involved in defining and implementing standards of Diver Safety, and in educating Customers who contract diving services. It will offer a means for input from independent working divers and supervisors who are currently involved in diving operations.

The Divers Association will cooperate with all groups that have the goal of improving diver safety".

The Interim Board of Directors is in place. We have a well respected individual of vast experience, diver/management, and integrity advising us and working with our lawyer so this is done correctly.
There is also a group of men that helped build this business, that many of us came up under, who will recognize the Association and the need for it: IF this is done properly.

At this time the following groups: The Coast Guard, OSHA, IMCA, ADCI, OGP, Trade Unions here and overseas all have received the basic mission statement. I didn’t list HSE because they are not part of what I was tasked with. I do know that it's in the works or done.When all legal hurdles are crossed we will ask those groups to be reconized.

I will assure that I am following the above mentioned individual advice to a T. The Association web page is being built, the logo is being designed. There is a Facebook presents as well.
