Potable Water

Diving in potable water environments, such as drinking water reservoirs, storage tanks, and treatment facilities, is a highly specialised service that requires the strictest adherence to hygiene, safety, and regulatory standards. 

InDepth Diving provides fully compliant potable water diving solutions across New Zealand, ensuring that critical infrastructure can be maintained, inspected, or repaired without compromising water quality or public health.

Our potable water diving operations are conducted using hygienic dive systems and compliant equipment, including fully encapsulated suits and sealed helmets that prevent any direct contact between the diver and the water supply. All gear used in potable water work is thoroughly disinfected before each dive, and a strict contamination control process is followed throughout the operation.

Typical potable water diving services include:

• Internal inspections of reservoirs and tanks
• Sediment removal and cleaning
• Leak detection and repair
• Valve and pipe maintenance
• Condition assessments for asset management

These services are often performed while systems remain in service, allowing critical assets to stay online with minimal disruption. Every project is supported by detailed method statements, water quality risk assessments, and compliance with local and national drinking water standards.

InDepth Diving brings a proven track record, specialist equipment, and a deep understanding of potable water protocols to every job. Whether working for councils, utilities, or private infrastructure owners, we ensure that water safety and infrastructure integrity are maintained to the highest possible standard.
