Professional diving

Professional diving is diving for payment. It is carried out using the full range of diving equipment and techniques from basic SCUBA to technical diving and surface supplied diving.

Types of professional diving are generally identified by the purpose of the organisation doing the diving, such as:

• Commercial diving
• Diver training for reward
• Media diving
• Military diving
• Naval diving
• Police diving
• Scientific diving

Many countries highly regulate professional diving to maintain safety standards. They often have to dive in difficult and dangerous conditions in the presence of dangerous equipment. Professional divers need a higher level of training, medical fitness, safety and rescue equipment and safety cover than divers involved recreational diving.
