Seen from the Lookout Tower, is an interesting vessel alongside County Wharf which has attracted questions from our visitors. It is a support vessel for seabed to surface diving and construction operations.
It has a deck area of 1,080m sq and accommodation for 102 persons. It was built in 1984.
A unique feature is that it has an 18 man twin bell saturation diving system which enables continuous diving for safety purposes (i.e. rescue of one diving bell by the other). It flies the Liberia flag.
