Underwater Technology Programme
This programme has the strongest infrastructure among the Vocational Schools providing education in Underwater Technologies in Türkiye at İskenderun Technical University Vocational School of Maritime Technologies. The first class industrial diving training required for underwater welding is given in the first stage in the Diving Tower with a depth of 6 m, which is located only in our Vocational School in Türkiye.
Diving tower and underwater welding application
Within the scope of application studies, Maritime and Advanced Diving Trainings were carried out in the last semester by staying at sea (on a 7/24) for about 2 weeks with the 27.5 m long RV ISTE I Research Ship owned by our University. ISTE II Research and Application Boat owned by our University is used for daily dives within the scope of diving pieces of training.
Research ship and boat owned by Iskenderun Technical University.
Offshore training
Within the scope of the training programme, Pressure Chamber Operator Trainings are also given in the Pressure Room in our Vocational School.
They complete the basic welding courses given within the scope of the Underwater Technology Programme with the simulator and applied welding training at Iskenderun Technical University Welding Centre of Excellence.
