We’re proud to announce that Florida Commercial Diving Institute (FCDI) has officially earned its ADCI Certification — a major milestone that reflects our commitment to the highest standards of safety, professionalism, and real-world commercial diving training.
This certification isn’t just a badge. It’s a promise.
What is ADCI Certification?
The Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) establishes industry-wide standards for safety, operational procedures, and training quality in commercial diving. ADCI certification verifies that a training facility meets these standards through documented protocols, evaluated procedures, and consistent implementation.
The Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI) sets the industry benchmark for safety, operational standards, and training quality in commercial diving.
ADCI certification means:
- Training protocols meet strict industry standards
- Safety procedures are verified and enforced
- Curriculum reflects real-world job conditions
- Equipment, facilities, and instruction are evaluated
- Students are trained to industry expectations
This is not a participation trophy. This is professional validation.
Why This Matters to Our Students
Commercial diving is not a hobby — it’s a high-risk, high-skill profession. The training you receive directly impacts your safety, career opportunities, and reputation in the field.
With our ADCI certification, students can be confident that:
- They are training under verified safety protocols
- Their instruction reflects real jobsite expectations
- They are being prepared for actual field conditions
- Employers recognize the training standard
- No shortcuts are being taken
This is about being job-ready, not just classroom-ready.
Our Training Philosophy
At FCDI, we believe training cannot be about preference — it must be about preparedness.
That means teaching students how to safely operate all industry-standard tools, perform proper risk assessments, understand hazard analysis, and adapt to real-world job conditions.

We train for reality.
What This Means Going Forward
