Abstract |
A detailed analysis was carried out of the risk associated with the operation of the hybrid diving bell. It was concluded that operating the hybrid bell with 2 divers and a standby diver at the surface is likely to result in a lower loss of life when compared to using 2 divers with a standby in the bell and another standby diver at the surface. It was also found that for the 3-man operating mode, the third man incurs a significant personal risk. Analysis of the standby diver data revealed that he provides a valuable contribution to the life saving capabilities of the diving team. |
