Harvest divers perform extraction and collection of marine resources, such as algae, coral, razor shells, sea urchins and sponges, in a safe, competent and responsible manner to a depth of 12 metres, using apnoea diving techniques as well as air supply equipment from the surface, open-circuit.

The most in-demand skills for this role include fisheries legislation, monitor aquaculture stock health standards, manage aquatic resources, perform diving interventions, maintain diving equipment, collect broodstock. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives harvest diver a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
