From Baird Maritime:
There is no doubt that the development of the offshore oil and gas industry has inspired the rapid advance of under water work far more than any other influence.
In a little over half a century oilfield diving has established itself as a vital industry sub sector. It is highly technical and, of course, very expensive but it has in no way lost the human touch.
This brilliant (and enormous) book provides a very detailed overview of this highly exciting activity. It closely examines the equipment, techniques, companies and many of the leading individuals involved.
Starting essentially from scratch, the industry has had to invent its own equipment and techniques itself. Trial and error and giving people responsibility at an early age has paid off. The book is replete with fascinating anecdotes of how this contributed to the industry's dynamic progress.
A brilliantly presented book describing and incredibly exciting activity.
