dollars’ marine construction works at almost every marine asset in Victoria including
extensive experience working on major and minor inland water infrastructure
facilities. Our experienced project managers, engineers and dive teams work on
projects from initial design through to completion, and we can support any marine

have a fabrication background and are experienced in underwater welding in all
environments.

Environmental Surveys

Over the last 38 years, the Professional Divers Group has undertaken a wide range
of marine environmental survey projects. Increased activity in this sector, led to
the establishment of a separate business unit in 2015 named Professional Marine
Science Services (PMSS), an environmental and heritage consultancy specialising
in marine and coastal applications. Environmental projects undertaken by PMSS
include fisheries surveys for the live scallop fishery operating in Port Phillip Bay, the
