Working at 350'

[bob1dp]

I have a job coming up requiring some dive work at 350’. This is way deeper then my experience level would permit. How much bottom time is realistic for the dive team? How long would the Deco be? What support would be needed on the surface ship? How much surface interval between dives?

out of curiosity, what gas mixes are you going to be using?

Jep? Is that you?

Your post had better be a complete joke...

From the profile: "deepest dive 130' "
....are you out of your mind?

I would not worry about the surface interval between the first and second dives...

Yea...He wouldn't survive the first one

hmm, for about 30 minutes you'll have about 3.8 hours of deco time.

It sounds like Bob is going to HIRE a team to do the diving, but is looking for information to plan the project.

Bob, if you are a diver on the project you will need to take a commercial diving course. For working dives like you are describing it would be normal to have a deco interlock, a kind of bell or chamber for spending long hours decompressing. Also, it would be good practice to have a recompression chamber on board. For purposes of managing the project, one might be advised to hire a dive master from New Orleans or Houston. However, an experienced amateur diver who knows mixed gas and ancilliary equipment, tables and computers, etc, could do a quick inspection at 350 fsw. Even so, decompression could run into hours so be advised.
