Commercial diving is a competitive industry. Only the best divers perform to the highest standards, while never compromising safety. We train the best of the best.

After determining that the growing demand for commercial divers, construction technicians, and support personnel could be met with standardized training, Divers Institute of Technology in Seattle, Washington was founded in 1968. From the start, DIT has had one goal: to ensure that all entry level divers hold the essential, core skills necessary to compete successfully in the commercial diving industry, whether in inland, offshore, or international waters. DIT offers candidates the training that will help ensure a career, not just a job. And because we are Internationally Certified by the DCBC, graduates can work globally.

All our surface-supplied dive training is conducted in open water, giving students real world experience that can’t be duplicated in pools, tanks or quarries. Our faculty and curriculum are respected throughout the industry, and it shows: 92% of our graduates are working in the field. Our program trains divers to excel in all aspects of both offshore and inland diving. Students perform deep dives to 165 feet, and conduct both in-water and surface decompression. The curriculum includes underwater welding, NDT, HazMat, hydraulic tools, and ROVs. DIT remains the only dive school to dive the legendary copper and brass Mark V hat.

Instructors at DIT have made thousands of worldwide, commercial and military dives, and not one has ever made a one-way trip. Come train with us.
