Pioneering the Digital Transformation of Diver Data

At the recent ADCI Chapter Meeting in Dubai, Skill N Depth presented an innovative roadmap for the future of diver logbooks and competency tracking. Spearheaded by Anthony Greenwood, a seasoned expert with over 30 years in commercial diving and oil & gas operations, the discussion focused on modernizing diver record-keeping through digital solutions.

The traditional reliance on paper-based logbooks has long posed challenges such as data loss, inefficiencies, fraud, and regulatory compliance obstacles. Now, with the support of ADCI (Association of Diving Contractors International), Skill N Depth is taking the lead in moving the industry towards fully digitized diver competency records.

ADCI’s Support for Digital Diver Certificates

A key highlight of the discussion was Skill N Depth’s close collaboration with ADCI. The association has recognized the need to modernize diver credentialing and is actively supporting the transition to digital diver certificates.

This shift will allow for:

• Tamper-proof verification of credentials via blockchain and secure digital signatures
• Faster validation of diver qualifications across global job sites
• Elimination of fraudulent certificates that pose safety risks
• A unified digital competency framework in line with industry best practices

With ADCI’s backing, Skill N Depth is ensuring that the digital logbook ecosystem aligns with international standards and gains widespread adoption among contractors and regulatory bodies.

The Push for Automation: Collaboration with UNIQUE Group

Further strengthening this digital shift, Skill N Depth has partnered with UNIQUE Group, a global leader in subsea technology, to automate diver data collection. By integrating automated logging from dive systems, wearable devices, and certification databases, the collaboration aims to streamline competency tracking and eliminate manual data entry errors.

This initiative ensures that diver records remain accurate, up-to-date, and accessible in real time—enhancing safety, compliance, and operational efficiency.

MOUs to Digitize Diver Data

In addition to ADCI’s support, Skill N Depth is securing Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with major industry stakeholders to expand digital logbook adoption. These agreements focus on:

• Aligning digital competency frameworks between training institutions and employers
• Enabling cross-platform data sharing for seamless credential verification
• Ensuring compliance with global regulatory requirements

With the integration of GDPR, POPIA, and industry-specific security measures, Skill N Depth’s E-Logbook platform is designed to protect diver data while providing real-time verification.

Why Digital Dive Logs Matter

The move towards digital logbooks and certificates isn’t just about convenience—it’s about transforming how diver competency is measured, validated, and maintained.

Key benefits of digital records include:

• Faster and more reliable verification of diver qualifications
•  Real-time data sharing with clients and regulatory bodies
•  Automated fraud prevention with digital fingerprinting and secure endorsements
•  Offline and online capabilities, ensuring accessibility even in remote locations
•  Environmental sustainability by reducing paper dependency

Shaping the Future of Diving Competency

With ADCI’s endorsement, partnerships with industry leaders like UNIQUE Group, and growing MOU agreements, Skill N Depth is setting new standards for diver certification and competency tracking.

The transition from paper logbooks to a secure digital framework is no longer a distant goal—it is happening now, driving safety, efficiency, and accountability across the commercial diving industry.
