⭐ Core Definition: Crewed submersible

A submersible is an underwater vehicle which needs to be transported and supported by a larger watercraft or platform. This distinguishes submersibles from submarines, which are self-supporting and capable of prolonged independent operation at sea.

There are many types of submersibles, including both human-occupied vehicles (HOVs) and uncrewed craft, variously known as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). Submersibles have many uses including oceanography, underwater archaeology, ocean exploration, tourism, equipment maintenance and recovery and underwater videography.

👉 Crewed submersible in the context of Underwater work

Underwater work is work done underwater, generally by divers during diving operations, but includes work done underwater by remotely operated underwater vehicles and crewed submersibles.

Underwater work is the activity required to achieve the purpose of the diving operation additional to the activities required for safe diving in the specific underwater environment of the worksite, including finding and identifying the workplace, and where necessary, making it safe to do the planned work. Some of these activities have a wide range of applications in work suitable for a given diving mode, and are likely to be considered basic skills and learned during professional diver training programmes for the relevant mode. Others are specialist skils and are more likely to be learned on the job or on skills training programmes not directly related to diving.
