CASE STUDY #3

SAT SYSTEMS

The benchmark for Divex systems is that they can sustain the harshest ofenvironments – and they don’t comemuch harsher than the North Sea. Divexsystems are built to last, and this is borneout by the fact that a significant number of the systems in service worldwide havebeen designed and built by Divex.

Current projects consist of 12, 18 and 24-man saturation systems that includecomputer-based control systems and a huge expansion in ergonomicallydesigned diver habitats.

CASE STUDY #2
