have what they need to succeed and feel good about the work
they’re doing.”
When it comes to giving advice to new divers getting into
the business as well as clients looking to hire a commercial
diving company, Greenspan is straight with his answer: do
it right.
“I think it really boils down to educating the end user
about what it takes to safely put a guy under water. It’s not
just about going to the scuba shop and asking them to do it.
Guys need to be certified. You need the right insurance. You
need to meet all your regulations and standards. There are
qualifications for dive teams – accredited education, dive
physicals, First Aid, CPR. Equipment needs to be tested and
certified. Everybody needs to have that under their belt.”
Having the proper insurance is, according to Greenspan,
one of the other aspects of hiring a commercial diving
company that clients aren’t necessarily aware of. While
Midco provides their insurance certificate to clients as a
standard policy, Greenspan says it’s important for companies
to know what to ask for before they hire someone for
underwater work.
Having recently moved his team into a new building
on new property, Greenspan is proud of all that Midco has
become, especially given its humble beginnings. But even
though they’ve seen a lot of success in the short time they’ve
been in business, he says there are no plans to slow it down.
“My goal, personally, is to get the right people in place so
I can at some point not be so hands-on,” said Greenspan. “I
really want to develop good people and provide good opportunities,
so we can continue to grow. Because if you’re not
growing, you’re dying.”
