“What was the mission?”

Prove to the Norwegian govt. that we could repair their pipeline with hyperbaric welding at that depth. They required we prove it before they allowed it to be installed across the Norwegian Trench in the North Sea.

As a point of interest. it took almost a month. Four days of compression to 1200’. Four days on bottom and then fourteen days of decompression.

Check out “Last Breath” just came out on Netflix. It gives a pretty good look at what Saturation divers do. Although usually not so dramatic.
