This film is intended as a general introduction to the subject of saturation diving and the principle audience would be divers, construction and maintenance engineers involved in underwater operations.

What do we mean by saturation diving? All divers know that, under pressure, gas dissolves in the bloodstream. The greater the depth and time the more gas will be dissolved and the longer the decompression time. This is all explained in the film. The equipment used when diving in great depths is shown and the operation of same. Dangers of hypothermia are covered. A complete operation is staged thus bringing to the attention of all concerned that, if all precautions and safe practices are taken at each stage, the possibility of an accident is greatly reduced.
