Diving Magnets was established in 2015 by commercial diving professionals to address a real gap in the subsea equipment market: the lack of reliable magnetic solutions engineered specifically for saltwater and deep subsea environments. Our team brings over 20+ years of professional diving experience, including 14+ years of offshore diving operations and active saturation diving — giving us first-hand knowledge of the conditions our products must endure.
Standard Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) coated magnets were not designed for prolonged saltwater exposure or extreme subsea conditions, creating equipment reliability issues for commercial divers. We developed our proprietary Epoxy-HDPE coating system specifically to withstand aggressive saltwater environments, maintain integrity at extreme depths, resist corrosion better than standard Ni-Cu-Ni coatings, and provide extended product lifespan underwater.
While most diving magnets use a standard Nickel-Copper-Nickel (Ni-Cu-Ni) coating, our professional-grade products feature a specialised Epoxy-HDPE coating system engineered for superior performance in harsh saltwater and deep subsea environments.
Diving Magnets is a company built by commercial divers, for commercial divers. We understand the demands of subsea work because we live them — this perspective drives everything we do, from product design to quality control to customer support.
Based in Gordon's Bay, South Africa — where we test products in some of the world's most demanding marine conditions — our magnets are trusted worldwide by commercial diving companies, offshore contractors, and air and saturation diving teams across 15+ countries.
If you require a specialised subsea magnet solution or custom magnetic tool, our team is available to assist.
