In the beginning

CDS was formed in 1979 and commenced operating as an onshore diving contractor on shallow water air diving projects.

Since then, we’ve grown and moved into offshore operations. Today, we deliver specialised compliance, governance, monitoring, project management and auditing services across Australia and the Pacific.

We’ve also been innovators in our own right. We successfully developed seabed rock bolting pipeline stabilisation methods across the northwest of Western Australia. Our superior systems have improved the holding capability of the rock bolts, vastly improving on earlier rock bolting rigs. The business has since grown and moved into offshore operations.
