Skill N Depth

What Skill N Depth does

Skill N Depth AG is a Swiss-headquartered (Schindellegi) software company that operates a blockchain-verified digital platform purpose-built for the occupational diving and marine contracting industries. The platform combines a real-time Digital Diver Logbook, blockchain-backed skill and certification validation, automated compliance tracking against industry standards (IMCA, ADCI), an advanced job matching and recruitment marketplace, data analytics dashboards, and project management tools, and is accessible via web application and native iOS/Android apps. Identity verification is provided through a third-party integration with Persona, and certificate payments are processed via Stripe. A separate Certificate Platform module enables certification bodies such as ADCI to issue and manage digital certificates, including a Digital ADCI Certificate product with mobile wallet storage and QR code verification launched in March 2026.

The company serves five primary user segments: individual dive team members seeking portable verified credentials, diving companies and contractors managing workforce compliance, trade and certification organizations (IMCA, ADCI, CDAS, UHMS), dive schools and training centers, and end-client organizations that need visibility into contractor qualifications. Monetization is built on a freemium base with a free tier for individual divers, premium feature and verification subscriptions, and per-transaction certificate application and renewal fees. Go-to-market is product-led growth with a parallel enterprise pilot program: 12 named pilot partners span SMB diving contractors (Aqueos, Six Alliance, Dolphin Diving Services, Artic Diving, Albwardy Damen, Integrated Underwater Services, Talleres Industriales, Seatrench, Diving Safety Management Services, Safeen Subsea) and large enterprises (Oceaneering, Total Energies), and Skill N Depth supports a global footprint via offices in the USA and UAE alongside its Swiss headquarters.

The business has no disclosed external funding, no reported revenue, and a headcount band of 11-50 employees, placing it at an early commercial stage. The 22 January 2026 Shareholders Board Meeting and ongoing association memberships (IMCA, ADCI, CDAS, IDSA, UHMS) signal continued institutional buildup rather than scale monetization, and the strategic partnership with SESAMET and Al Amthal Occupational Medicine (October 2025) extends the platform from skills and dive logs into certified hyperbaric medical verification.

Product overview

Skill N Depth is a single unified digital platform — a blockchain-verified SaaS solution — purpose-built for the occupational diving and marine contracting industries. The platform is organized around a core set of interlinked modules: the Digital Diver Logbook (real-time dive record creation, supervisor/company verification, and status tracking), Blockchain-Verified Skill Validation (immutable credential records on a distributed ledger), Automated Compliance Management (renewal tracking for IMCA/ADCI standards), Advanced Job Matching and Recruitment, Data Analytics and Reporting, and Project Management Tools. A separate Certificate Platform module serves certification bodies (e.g., ADCI) who issue and manage digital certificates (including Digital ADCI Certificates with mobile wallet and QR verification). Identity Verification via Persona is a required onboarding module that gates access to verified features. The platform is accessible via a web application and a native mobile app (iOS/Android), and targets five distinct user segments: dive team members, diving companies, trade/certification organizations, dive schools, and client organizations.
