Pipe penetration diving is a specialized form of diving that involves entering a submerged pipe or tunnel and exploring the inside of it. This type of diving can be used for a variety of purposes, including inspecting pipelines for damage, repairing underwater infrastructure, and even searching for lost objects.
To be a pipe penetration diver, you need to have advanced training and experience in diving. This includes knowledge of proper diving techniques, as well as how to navigate through small, confined spaces. You also need to be proficient in using specialized equipment, such as reels and line markers, to mark your path and communicate with the surface team.
One of the biggest challenges of pipe penetration diving is dealing with the limited visibility that is often present inside the pipes. Divers must rely on their sense of touch and the feel of the pipes to navigate through the dark, enclosed space. They also need to be prepared for the possibility of strong currents or other hazards that can be present in the pipes.
Despite the inherent risks of pipe penetration diving, it is an important part of maintaining and repairing underwater infrastructure. Without skilled pipe penetration divers, many of the pipes and tunnels that carry our water, oil, and other resources would be at risk of damage or failure.
If you are interested in becoming a pipe penetration diver, it is important to seek out advanced training and gain experience in diving before attempting this type of work. With the right training and preparation, you can help keep our underwater infrastructure running smoothly and keep our communities safe.
Combining our extensive experience we aim to find innovative solutions to underwater problems and the provision of direct supervision and liaison at all stages of preparation and execution of a project, we believe we can offer assistance to any marine project, large or small.
We have extensive equipment for any underwater operation and have the qualified personnel to complete the work safely and efficiently.
