Saturation dive equipment

Saturation dive equipment enables divers to work at significant depths for extended periods by maintaining their bodies at a consistent high-pressure environment. This setup typically includes a pressurized living chamber called a saturation habitat, connected to the diving site via a diving bell or submersible, and specialized diving suits or tools. The diver's breathing gas is carefully controlled in the habitat, reducing decompression time when returning to the surface. This equipment minimizes decompression sickness risk and allows safe, efficient work in deep underwater conditions, often used in oil rig maintenance, scientific research, and underwater construction.
