underwater salvage operations

Underwater salvage operations involve retrieving objects or vessels from beneath the water’s surface, often after accidents, wrecks, or losses. The process uses specialized equipment like divers, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and diving support ships to locate, access, and recover items from the seabed. These operations require careful planning to handle water pressure, sediment, visibility limits, and safety concerns. Ultimately, the goal is to recover valuable or important items—such as shipwrecks, cargo, or technology—while managing environmental and structural challenges underwater.
