Royal Navy dives to 600 feet in ground breaking deep sea test
Eight divers of HMS Reclaim completed 600 foot dives off Toulon in a frogman suit and light breathing gear. They worked for extended periods on 280 psi while performing tasks such as sawing metal filming and scientific observations. The dives followed months of dry land tests at the Royal Naval Physiological Laboratory and support from the Admiralty Experimental Diving Unit. The achievement promises advances in emergency naval tasks and scientific industrial exploration, including North Sea oil and gas projects.
