DiveWise TEC is the only independent accredited commercial underwater welding school in the world, established in the Antwerp port environment, one of the world’s biggest harbours.
With a career of over 30 years in professional diving and offshore work, DiveWise was set up as small business unit providing professional equipment for the diving industry. Because of the lack of qualified and experienced divers in the industry, the idea arose in 2009 to set up a underwater welding school. That should provide the right infrastructure and knowledge, to make sure that students would get the appropriate training as required by the industry.

As long as he is near water he seems to be happy. Apart from that he has been in the education industry since ten years, recently got a master degree in training and educational sciences. Mark will help us out by taking care of most of the administration and PR for the school. So chances are likely you will first of all get in touch with him.
