The HDS Divers Index is a name index of divers, diving tenders, linesmen, employees of diving companies, contractors and associated trades.

Anyone who was involved in underwater engineering work - for example, on shipwrecks, salvage, tunnel construction, dockyards, railway bridges, as well as river, port and harbour work. It also covers military divers such as Sappers and Royal Navy divers.

• Search for details about a historical diver by name, time period, or job they worked on

• Obtain information about birth, marriage, death, residence, training and apprenticeship, details of salvage or other projects worked on, military service, injuries or fatality

• Add your Diving Ancestor to the database so that further details can be supplied to you as more information is acquired - the HDS is researching all the divers it can
