Kevin Lengyel began his professional diving career diving for abalone in 1956 in California.  He made some of the deep mixed-gas dives in the private sector and helped to modify the tables and schedules still in use today.  He enjoyed a distinguished career working for offshore oil drilling companies all over the world and upon retiring in 1980 he returned home to upstate New York.

Seeing a need for reliable services among the many state run and businesses located along New York’s rivers, ports and harbors, Kevin formed Seaway Diving and Salvage Company.  Based in Waterford, NY, Seaway Diving would employ the same work ethic that Kevin displayed, and body of knowledge and experience that he gathered over his forty years in the industry to rise above other dive companies in the area and distinguish themselves as the best in the business.

Time and again Seaway Diving would impress their clients by giving more than was required of them, and staying until the job was done and displaying a level of professionalism which has come to be rare in the industry.

Seaway Diving accomplishes this by hiring only experienced divers with backgrounds in engineering, construction, mechanics and military diving.  All Seaway employees are graduates of accredited Association of Commercial Diving Educators schools and have a minimum of five years experience in commercial diving and underwater construction, with a combined 120 years experience to rely on.  Seaway divers undergo OSHA’s forty-hour training program for handling of hazardous materials, and have experience in the specialized area of HasMat diving.  All employees are CPR and first-aid qualified and all divers undergo an annual dive physical.  Seaway is a member of the Association of Diving Contractors and adheres strictly to OSHA safety regulations.
