Part 2/8:
Saturation divers undertake maintenance and repair work underwater at depths below 165 feet (50 meters). Their tasks include fixing offshore wells, installing platforms, and laying pipes. To understand saturation diving, it's crucial to recognize the risks associated with high-pressure environments. As divers go deeper, the nitrogen in the air can dissolve into their blood and tissues. Rapid ascent after deep dives can lead to decompression sickness, commonly known as "the bends," which can be fatal.
