Commercial Diving and ROV Services

Afonso Group was formed in 1969 as a commercial diving outfit and, although the company has diversified its operations, diving continues as an important division within the company. The diving division provides a full range of services, from vessel repair and maintenance to challenging offshore-related assignments, with an emphasis on safe and environmentally responsible operations.

The professional diving team at Afonso Group is well-versed in modern diving technology and techniques, and uses the latest equipment available.
