Faroe Dive is seeing continued growth, with newly qualified divers moving directly into employment and expanded international training activities. Recently, two students completed their commercial diving training. Danish diver Kim Bille Gram qualified in both SCUBA and surface-supplied diving and is already set to begin work on the expansion of the Port of Copenhagen. Meanwhile, Marni E. Joensen earned his certification as a light commercial diver, allowing him to work at dep

Arbeiðið at rudda havbotnin í Klaksvík heldur fram, og fyrr í vikuni eydnaðist enn einaferð at fáa stórar mongdir av burturkasti av botni fram við Kósakaiini. Kavararnir Kim Bille Gram og Marni E. Joensen fingu samanlagt 27 gomul fríhold upp av botni. Samlaða vektin var góð 2.400 kilo, og fleiri av fríholdunum vóru av slíkari stødd, at tey kundu elvt til álvarsligan skaða á skip. Serliga vandamikil kunnu tey vera, um tey enda í skrúvuni á einum skipi. Hetta arbeiðið er partur

Aftast frá vinstru: Elias Zachariassen, censor, Oskar Jespersen, Kim Bille Gram og Janus Joensen, lærari. Fremst frá vinstru: Marner Ákason, Benjamin Magnason og Ólavur Johannessen. Í farnu viku løgdu fimm menn sínar síðstu próvtøkur á føroysku vinnudykkaraskúlanum afturum seg. Tveir teirra hava útbúgving sum SCUBA-dykkarar, meðan tríggir eru útbúnir sum yvirflatuveittir dykkarar. Eftir loknu próvtøkurnar vórðu næmingarnir avmyndaðir saman við censori, sum hevði eftirlit við

After the summer break, Faroese SCUBA commercial divers will once again have the opportunity to advance their professional qualifications. The training pathway allows divers to enhance their certification level, enabling them to obtain official authorization from the authorities to perform specialized underwater tasks. This includes, for example, conducting welding operations on the seabed—an important capability within the maritime and offshore sectors. These upgraded qualif

Faroe Dive has a long and proud tradition of training some of the most competent and experienced commercial divers in the industry. While diving is inherently a practical profession that requires hands-on training, Faroe Dive sees great potential in using online learning to strengthen the theoretical part of our education programs. By combining digital teaching with intensive practical training, Faroe Dive creates a more efficient, flexible, and targeted learning experience f

Nú løgtingsval er útskriva, verða evni tikin fram sum t.d. Frálandavinna, Oljuleiting og Vindorkuvinna. Mangan verður tosað ógvuliga óítøkiligt um hesi evnini, men einstakir politikarar eru tó sum vísa økinum áhuga. Skulu vit í Føroyum taka lut í frálandavinnum av ymiskum slag og menna Føroyar sum ein maritiman tænastudepil í Arktiskum øki, so krevst at vit uppstiga okkara førleikastøði á nógvum økjum. Um vit ikki menna okkara vinnur gerast vit eftirbátar. Eitt av hesum økjum

The Faroese Commercial Diving School has entered a new strategic partnership with Nordsjællands Brand- og Dykkerskole, following the signing of a formal cooperation agreement yesterday.The collaboration marks a significant step toward strengthening and expanding access to modern, industry‑aligned commercial diving education in both the Faroe Islands and Denmark. According to the two institutions, the agreement will support joint professional development, coordinated teaching

The Faroe Islands Commercial Diving School has expanded its training program with the ability to certify divers in commercial diving using NITROX . Gas‑mix diving, such as diving with NITROX, provides divers with opportunities to plan and carry out their dives in a completely different — and often significantly safer — way compared to diving with regular air. One of the primary challenges associated with standard air as a breathing gas is its high content of nitrogen . Nitrog

Earlier this week, Faroe Dive Sp/f received an honorary certificate from PADI via post, marking a significant milestone. It has now been 20 years since the dive center earned international recognition as a PADI Dive Center—a fitting reminder of how swiftly time flies. The certificate arrived to much celebration among staff and divers alike! Based in the dramatic North Atlantic waters of the Faroe Islands, Faroe Dive is not only a hub for recreational scuba enthusiasts but al

Kavaraskúlin í Føroyum hevur loyvið frá mynduleikunum, at fara undir slíkar eftirútbúgvingar. Frálandakavarar hava møguleika, at arbeiða niður á 50 metra dýpið. Hetta merkir at frálandakavararnir hava møguleika, at arbeiða heilar 20 metur djúpari enn t.d. kavarar ið hava SCUBA vinnuprógv. Ein partur av frálandaskeiðnum inniber m.a. at kavarar venja at kava frá einari vátklokku, ið verður sjósett av einari LARS-skipan og at brúka trýstkømur á kavarastaðnum. Slíkar skipanir ver

Earlier today, diving students had the opportunity to put their skills to the test during a practical training session in Leirvík. The exercise included retrieving several old fenders from the seabed and ensuring they were properly disposed of, contributing to a cleaner harbor environment. The initiative was carried out as part of the diving school’s ongoing training program, which focuses on safety, environmental responsibility, and hands-on experience for future divers. If

Today, seven students successfully completed their final theory exams for both SCUBA and surface-supplied diving certifications — marking a historic milestone for Faroe Dive and the Nordic diving industry. This is the first time a full group of students has simultaneously pursued certification in both commercial SCUBA and surface-supplied diving. The decision reflects a growing demand for highly trained surface-supplied divers across the industry, and Faroe Dive is proud to b

The Commercial Diver Training programs at Faroe Dive are organized with the customer in mind. At the moment, the diving school has students from Europe that have joined the Surface Supplied Inshore Diver program. These have saved two weeks of onsite training by being able to join the online-classroom. As our Corporate customers have mentioned to us it can be a challenge to send staff off for training for extended periods of time. Therefore it fits them well to save valuable
