Our History

Established in 2015 by the Masson Family, Father, Mother and Sons, who have a combined 70 years of commercial diving operations, including Surface Supplied, Saturation and Hyperbaric Welding Operations.

Originally providing consulting services, the company has grown and operates 3 distinct business Units:  Bespoke Engineering, Products and Global Compliance.

Through our Bespoke Engineering division, ORCA has earned a strong reputation for delivering tailored solutions for commercial diving and hyperbaric systems. Notably, we played a key role in the commissioning of the saturation dive system aboard the Well-Safe Guardian. Our in-house team of mechanical and electrical technicians is available to support recertification, design, installation, and refurbishment of both surface-supplied and saturation diving equipment.

Building on our engineering expertise, the Products division focuses on innovative technology solutions to enhance diving operations. Highlights include:

• DigiGauge – A digital monitoring system designed to improve accuracy, reliability, and safety, either alongside or in place of traditional analogue displays.
• Light Trace Dive Panels – Available in configurations ranging from air diver suitcase panels to full saturation panels.
• Brokerage Services – We offer expert brokerage of used diving equipment, connecting clients with assets and supporting every step of the transaction.

To ensure all our offerings meet industry standards, we established the Global Compliance division. This unit provides Diving Technical Authorities and Subject Matter Experts to support operational and technical compliance from start to finish.

Our team is equipped to assist with audits, procedural reviews, and compliance documentation across international diving codes and standards. 

ORCA maintains a fully accredited Business Management System (BMS) certified to ISO 9001 Quality Management alongside integrated ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management systems.
