Underwater Technology is a two year associate degree program. The program offers to you for 2 years of training. In the first year, free diving, life saving and instrumental diving training are being given and our students are able to practice in the tourism diving area with the help of the diver title in various diving schools at the end of the first year.

In the second year of their training, students are given resources and cutting training in underwater industry. Our education has been accredited by the International Welding Institute (IIW). In this way, we prepare our graduates for the work environment where they can work all over the world. At the same time in their second year students are taught lessons such as sunken salvage, underwater search and rescue, underwater film and photography, underwater robotic systems (ROV), professional yacht captainship and non-destructive inspection (NDT). At the end of these two years Our graduates have two very valuable certificates, such as “First Class Diver Diploma” and “Pressure Chamber Operator”, which universities can not provide any undergraduate programs in Turkey except for the Underwater Technology Program and Naval Forces.

At the end of the second year, our students will be doing industrial diving internships and will have titles that have a great deal of job opportunities, such as first class industrial divers and professional yacht captains. The students studying in this department are preferred by the companies without graduating yet. The students who graduate from the school can work in the underwater industry as well as the diver in the tourism field.
