Discover Education through Exploration

 

The combination of the unions and industry saftey sandards is the backbone of                                             

Cultural Research Divers.  One of our goals is to share our knowledge.

Here is a peek at some of the jobs we've done over the years.  Not all the work

 is underwater work; the scope of our union work is "Pile Foundation", and it's everything to do with laying out some sort of foundation for buildings, piers, and bridges.
