Overview
Offshore Oil & Gas industry has progressed far beyond any earlier expectations, thanks to the fast-paced technological development and the brave offshore people who dedicated their knowledge and efforts to achieve this result. The story of oilfield diving illustrates the complex interplay between human and technical achievements and is an important component of the history of the offshore oil and gas industry. The first offshore diving operations decades ago were little more than topside jobs completed underwater?
