Northern Diver is officially IDEST certified, marking a major milestone in the company’s ongoing commitment to quality, safety, and industry-leading standards.

IDEST (Inspection, Testing and Certification of Diving Equipment and Systems) is the recognised authority for ensuring diving cylinders and associated equipment are serviced and maintained to the highest professional standards. Achieving IDEST certification confirms that Northern Diver’s workshop, processes, and technicians have successfully met rigorous assessment criteria, demonstrating full compliance with the strict standards required for cylinder inspection, testing, and servicing.

Northern Diver’s cylinder testing facility, opened in 2021, has been held to the highest standards of ASSET (Association of Scuba Service Engineers & Technicians) ever since. The facility supports both personal and bulk cylinder testing, catering to sports divers, commercial contractors, military teams, and rescue units.
“Our engineers are highly knowledgeable and skilled, utilising the latest water-pressure testing techniques to ensure every cylinder is safe and reliable,” said a Northern Diver spokesperson. “We carefully check for internal and external damage, corrosion from salt or brackish conditions, rusting, and general wear and tear. Valves, rings, and threads are inspected meticulously, and we also test gun pressure canisters.”

With IDEST accreditation, Northern Diver strengthens its ability to provide trusted, high-performance services. Whether testing a single 10-year-old recreational tank or processing 2,000 cylinders for professional applications, the team delivers repair, cleaning, and replacement services to the highest technical specifications. The certification also allows Northern Diver to expand its range of services, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of professional diving equipment support worldwide. Divers and professional teams can have full confidence that their equipment is being serviced by experts operating to the highest industry standards.
