Diving project
A ‘diving project’ is the term used for the overall diving job whether it lasts two hours or two months.
Diving project can apply to both a continuous period of elevated pressure, as in saturation diving, and to a number of diving operations, possibly taking place over several days, where the divers are not under continuous elevated pressure.
The diving project does not necessarily finish once the last diver has returned to atmospheric pressure. Most decompression procedures require the diver to remain in the close vicinity of a recompression chamber for a specified time in case there is a need for treatment of symptoms of decompression illness. The diving project is only completed once that time period has expired.
