Compagnie maritime d'expertises

Compagnie maritime d'expertises (also known as COMEX) is a French company specializing in engineering and deep diving operations. It was established in 1961 by Henri-Germain Delauze, a pioneer in the field of commercial diving and underwater technology.

History[edit | edit source]

COMEX was founded in Marseille, France, in 1961. The company quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to deep-sea exploration and technology. In the 1970s, COMEX performed several record-breaking deep diving operations, including the Hydra VIII operation in 1976, which saw a diver reach a depth of 501 meters.

Operations[edit | edit source]

COMEX operates in various sectors including offshore oil and gas, submarine cable laying, and underwater construction. The company is known for its expertise in saturation diving, a technique that allows divers to work at great depths for extended periods of time. COMEX also provides training and certification for professional divers.

Notable Projects[edit | edit source]

One of COMEX's most notable projects is the Janus IV, a submersible designed for deep-sea exploration and research. The Janus IV was used in several scientific expeditions, including the exploration of the Titanic wreck site in 1987.
