Royal Navy Saturation diving informational video from 1983

Interesting film.I didn't realise Saturation diving was so involved and hazardous.I now better understand why such divers on the commercial side are paid so well.Thanks for uploading.

I spent time on HMS Challenger, a few years on the Sat Team and did a 360m dive in Norway. We didn’t get the big bucks just a new pair of Nike Air Trainers 😂

one danger of sat diving not mentioned: ABs in their early twenties suddenly getting big dollops of cash. I know a roundabout in Gosport was badly injured by one such chap driving like a sailor in the Capri he'd bought after his first sat dive.

I know the illustrations show HMS Challenger, but I'm assuming they filmed this aboard Seaforth Clansman?

Not too sure about this one, will see what I can find out :)

Confirmed! Great upload. Nice reminder of a little-known part of RN history.
