Underwater work

Underwater work refers to various types of activities carried out below the surface of the water. This can include commercial diving, underwater construction, underwater archaeology, underwater photography, and underwater salvage among others.

Commercial Diving

Commercial diving is a type of underwater work that involves the use of specialized equipment to perform tasks below the surface of the water. This can include underwater welding, inspection of underwater structures, and salvage operations. Commercial divers often work in challenging conditions and must undergo extensive training to ensure their safety.

Underwater Construction

Underwater construction is a specialized area of construction that involves building, repairing, or demolishing structures that are submerged in water. This can include bridges, dams, and offshore oil platforms. Underwater construction often requires the use of specialized equipment and techniques to overcome the challenges posed by the underwater environment.

Underwater Archaeology

Underwater archaeology involves the exploration and excavation of archaeological sites that are submerged under water. This can include shipwrecks, sunken cities, and other underwater cultural heritage sites. Underwater archaeologists use a variety of tools and techniques to document and preserve these sites.

Underwater Photography

Underwater photography is a form of photography that is practiced underwater. This can be done for scientific research, for documenting underwater life and environments, or for artistic purposes. Underwater photographers often use specialized equipment to capture images under water.

Underwater Salvage

Underwater salvage is the process of recovering objects or structures from underwater. This can include shipwrecks, aircraft, and other objects that have sunk. Underwater salvage operations often involve complex logistics and can be risky due to the unpredictable nature of the underwater environment.
