Magician / SAT Diver joins Commercial Dive Locker 2026 Board

Meet Edward Askham Spencer, DeepSea Saturation Diver, Internationally Renowned Professional Magician. Veteran of the 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment. Actor, Writer, Producer & Director of a fictional film series currently in preproduction.

Commercial diving engaged Edward's curiosity since he was a small boy and for over a decade has been his primary focus for earning an income. His first offshore job was in 2014. Being capable, qualified, fit healthy and flexible enough to work in this industry is far from easy to maintain but it is was his love for being in challenging environments.

Edward's secondary interest is Entertainment and more specifically performing Magic. Edward came late to Magic learning the basics in 2018 but quickly realized that it was a way to charismatically engage with people on an even footing. He has performed for his 2 year old right through to a 105 year old, penniless people through to hedge fund CEO’s, Celebrities and members of the Royal family. People of many ethnic backgrounds and cultures and every time the striking common reaction is the same, he us greeted with wondrous smiles laughter and applause. I love those moments when I put some normal everyday thing in front a person and they seemingly make a magical moment happen.

Ed Horn : Dive Superintendent Joins Board of Commercial Divers

 

Professional Motto
Precision – Safety – Execution
"I don’t just dive into projects—I lead purposefully, enforce structure, and deliver results that endure beneath the surface.
“Diving is not just depth and pressure—it’s discipline, readiness, and the trust that others place in you when the stakes are highest.”

I have a well-documented, 2-decades-long success record, managing high-risk underwater construction, salvage, inspection, and demonstration projects across military, industrial, and commercial environments. My career spans complex, compliance-driven work for U.S. Army Garrison operations in the Marshall Islands, utility giants like FPL and Tampa Electric, and high-visibility OEM demo teams pushing the edge of subsea technology.

From directing dam gate installations and hyperbaric chamber operations to guiding vessel salvage under emergency protocols, I bring structure to high-consequence environments. I’ve supervised dive crews of up to 12 divers, enforced strict safety protocols under OSHA 1910 Subpart T and ADCI standards, and maintained a spotless safety record while executing under pressure.

I lead with accountability and alignment. I plan the work, assess the risks, and ensure that every diver, every vessel, and every support system functions as part of a coordinated whole. Whether working alongside USACE or managing dive operations in remote and supply-limited regions, I deliver operational clarity and dependable execution.

My ability to integrate technical skill, regulatory precision, and real-world leadership sets me apart, building high-performance teams that know their role, trust the plan, and execute with precision. I am equally comfortable leading demo teams with prototype systems as I am coordinating response efforts in fast-moving emergencies.

Let's connect if you're looking for a commercial dive leader who brings discipline, adaptability, and field-tested leadership to your marine or infrastructure projects.
