Dear Valued CDAS Members and the Commercial Diving Community,
It is with deep sadness that we have learned of the passing of another commercial diver at the site today. On behalf of the Commercial Diving Association of Singapore (CDAS), we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased during this difficult time. We pray that they find strength and comfort in the days ahead, and we wish for the departed to rest in peace.
CDAS is currently gathering verified information regarding this unfortunate incident. As the relevant authorities are conducting their investigations, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.
CDAS stands ready to provide any technical assistance or support requested by the relevant authorities. We respectfully urge all members of the commercial diving community and the public to refrain from speculation or the dissemination of unverified information until the official investigation has been concluded.
CDAS strongly encourages all operators, contractors, and stakeholders to reinforce their commitment to robust governance, regulatory compliance, and best practices in Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment (QHSE). A strong safety culture is built on leadership, accountability, continuous training, and a shared commitment to protecting every individual working in our industry. As an industry, we must continue to collaborate to strengthen governance, enhance operational standards, and foster a culture where safety is always prioritised. Through collaboration, professionalism, and continuous improvement, we can help prevent future tragedies and uphold the integrity of the commercial diving profession.
We would like to thank everyone for their understanding, cooperation, and professionalism during this time. CDAS remains committed to supporting the commercial diving community and promoting the highest standards of safety and governance.
We wish everyone safe and incident free operations.
