Hyperbaric Diving

On this page I will have pictures, descriptions & diagrams of Saturation Chambers, Diving Bells, Moon Pools, Control Rooms.

I will also have plenty pictures and descriptions of Tethered Submersibles, and ROVs.

The m.v." Seaforth Cape", has full saturation Hyperbaric diving capability. The diving team of 10, can have 8 divers under full saturation for up to 28 days at a time. There are two chambers in 'U' shape with full 'en suite' and each chamber has access to the bell which is carried on an overhead crane between the moonpool and the chamber.

m.v. "Seaforth Monarch" is fully discussed on another page but here she is with 'Sofie' her tethered submersible, which, when lowered to the seabed is able to move around on Archimedean Screws, or Track Layers (like a tank). The jib lowers her over, and into the water, and she is connected to the control room by the large yellow umbilical on the spool. This carries all the Hydraulics, Electrics, Compressed Air, Gyro Controls and CCTV Pictures.

I have hundreds of pictures, in the form of colour slides. I am in the process of converting them to digital format. When this has been done, I will rotate the picture sequences from time to time.
