What Is a Diving Support Boat?

A diving support boat (DSB) is a specialized vessel designed to support underwater operations such as inspection, maintenance, and construction.
It provides onboard systems for diver deployment, gas supply, equipment storage, and safety management — acting as the primary operational platform for commercial and offshore diving missions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hyperbaric lifeboat?

A hyperbaric lifeboat is a specialized type of lifeboat equipped with a built-in hyperbaric chamber. This feature allows divers who have been working at depth and are undergoing decompression in a diving bell or saturation system to be safely evacuated without interrupting their decompression schedule. Hyperbaric lifeboats are essential for maintaining the safety and health of divers in offshore diving operations, particularly in emergency situations where rapid evacuation is necessary.
