Coris
A subsea cleaning inspiration
Coris, as a fish, is a magnificent genus of wrasses, with a significant debate over the etymology of its Greek name, and a unanimous appreciation of its cleverness, appearance and, of course, its well-known cleaning habits. Coris, in nature, can be found in almost every sea and ocean, in the littoral zone, near rocks and eelgrass beds, but they are also famous fish tank cleaners.
Coris has been initially introduced to the public by the famous zoologist Carl Linnaeus, in 1758, and till 1999 there have been taxonomized with more than 27 extraordinary subspecies. For us, their precious cleaning habits were an inspiration, thus we have named our company after it.

About us
Coris, as a company, has been founded in 2021, as a dedicated collaborator of L.I. DIVING STATUS CY in the field of hull cleaning products and services. Inspired directly by L.I. DIVING STATUS CY’s passion and experience in providing leading subsea commercial diving services, we have decided to specialize in the research, development and production of top hull cleaning solution, specially designed according to the needs of diving companies, port management organizations, shipping fleet management companies, and ship maintenance & naval engineering companies all around the world, that can provide underwater services according to IMO, ADCI and US NAVY & BIMCO.
Our main differences with our competitors derive from the fact that Coris deeply understands the needs of the professional divers and implements innovative solutions that simplify the hull cleaning process by providing unparalleled ease, comfort and efficiency.
A cooperation beyond limits
Coris has entrusted L.I. DIVING STATUS CY with the research and development of its Brush-Kart hull cleaning systems, inspired by their fascination and dedication to this professional field. We share a common philosophy and we care for each other in this beneficial relationship, as the cleaning fish cares for its habitat and the coexisting fish. And although this seems too poetic, it constitutes our founding idea. Since then, it is our mentor-company and they are our first-trial users.
