During his career with the Indian Navy it had dawned upon the founder, Late Lieutenant Adhir Chandra Bhattacharjee that the navy was not in a position to cater to the needs of the Indian industry. The needs were vast and the navy had little spare capacity to provide on a sustained basis. It was then he decided to leave the navy to form India's first commercial diving company. Thus was born Abee Engineering Corporation in 1971.

Since inception we have striven to provide services of exceptional quality at very reasonable cost to our customers. Over the years we have grown to become one of the largest and most diversified commercial diving contractors. We are perhaps the only diving company in India to design and manufacture a large part of the equipment that we use. With passage of time we have introduced newer technology and latest equipment to our work. Today, we have in our stock some of the best equipment available.

In 1999 Abee Engineering Corporation was reconstituted from a Partnership to a privately held limited company and renamed Abee Divecorp Private Limited. The new company, thus formed, is managed by a board of directors.
