Company description: The NOAA Diving Program, or NDP, is administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and is headquartered at the NOAA Diving Center in Seattle, Washington. The NOAA Diving Program trains and certifies scientists, engineers and technicians to perform the variety of tasks carried out underwater to support NOAA's mission. With more than 400 divers, NOAA has the largest complement of divers of any civilian federal agency. In addition, NOAA's reputation as a leader in diving and safety training has led to frequent requests from other governmental agencies to participate in NOAA diver training courses.
The mission of the NOAA Diving Program is to train, certify, and equip scientists, engineers and technicians to perform a variety of underwater tasks in support of NOAA's mission and to ensure that all diving operations are conducted safely, efficiently and economically.
Core Products and Services:
* To establish standards and implement procedures for conducting safe diving operations.
* To train and certify scientists, engineers, and technicians in diving and medical-related subjects.
* To provide safe, state-of-the-art, and well maintained dive equipment.
* To provide guidance and expertise to the diving community.
* To investigate and implement new diving technologies and techniques.
* To foster cooperative working relationships with other diving programs.
* To promote NOAA and the NOAA Dive Program through educational outreach.
* To provide equipment, personnel and expertise to NOAA field operations, as needed.
Location description: NOAA divers work throughout the oceans and inland waters of the world in conditions varying from the crystal clear water of a pristine marine sanctuary to the murky and polluted water of a congested harbor. On any given day, NOAA divers may be seen deploying and retrieving scientific instruments, documenting the behavior of fish and other marine animals, performing emergency and routine ship repair and maintenance, assessing the impact of man on the environment, and locating and charting submerged objects. NOAA divers are currently assigned to the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, the National Weather Service, the National Marine Fisheries Service, the National Ocean Service, and the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. The NOAA Diving Program is responsible for overseeing and managing all NOAA diving personnel, equipment, and activities and ensuring that all diving is performed in a safe and efficient manner. The NDP, the NOAA Diving Safety Board, and the NOAA Diving Medical Review Board all work together to accomplish these objectives and to ensure the availability of properly trained divers to meet NOAA’s data acquisition requirement.
