What Prodive Consultancy Ltd does

Prodive Consultancy Limited is an independent commercial diving safety and technical consultancy founded in 2012 and headquartered in Callanish, Nettle Brae, Isle of Bute, Scotland. The firm delivers four core service lines - Safety and Technical Consultancy, Client Worksite Representative, Company Assurance & Technical Audits, and Remote Desktop Support - alongside supplementary offerings in Expert Witness Services, Training, and Diving Management Systems support.

The business operates as a project- and retainer-based B2B professional services firm targeting enterprises whose marine projects require manned underwater intervention. Primary clients sit in offshore renewable energy, with additional exposure to oil and gas, shipping, defence, and general marine construction. Named customers include Scottish Power Renewables, Centrica, BAE Systems, EDP Renewables, Xodus Group, EON, RWE, Farrans, AECOM, Briggs Marine, INNOGY, Babcock International, MITIE, Red 7 Marine, SeaTech Diving, DSMC, HSSE.co.uk, Baltic Taucher, DCN Diving, Northern Divers, RED Services, James Fisher Subtech, Ramora UK, and N-Sea. Services are delivered via direct enterprise engagement, with consultants deployed on-site for worksite representation or engaged remotely for planning and audit reviews.

Distribution is entirely direct: there are no channel partnerships, no published pricing, and no marketing automation visible. The firm holds ISO 9001 certification (NQA, UKAS-accredited), SafeContractor approval, Cyber Essentials Plus, and JOSCAR defence-industry pre-qualification. Insurance coverage extends to worldwide operations. The firm is privately held, founder/owner-operated, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or institutional investors in the source material. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, indicating a small specialist consultancy rather than a scaled platform.
