The terms saturation diving may sound too technical, but allow me to simplify it for you, my dear readers. In actuality, even before the recreational scuba diving became popular, saturation diving is already encouraged in developing countries in 1960s. This technique is employed by oil firms in their exploration projects, which means that long before the
oil supply shortage that we are experiencing right now, the underwater oil sources are already unearthed.
If we delve deeper into the significance of
saturation diving, this method requires platforms or specially equipped cage-structures, also called submersibles, where divers stay throughout the diving activity. The said container-apparatus enables divers to survive the killing pressure of deep waters. If you still find this a bit complicated, just take for instance the exploration done on the wreckage of the Titanic wherein scientists sent submersibles and saturation divers that opened the portals of the ship.
I just thought that we can live underwater for a long period of time through saturation diving. But that would mean a relatively large supply of oxygen and highly equipped platforms that will send us down to the depths of the sea. It's quite odd, but possible. Only, not all, even skilled divers are entitled to perform such feat because unlike the leisure type, saturation diving is complicated and hazardous.
