Commercial Diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1419 words) |
 | Professional diving is different from recreational diving in three main ways: the diving equipment used, the nature of underwater activities and the need to adhere to stricter safety legislation; however, amateur divers do sometimes do purposeful work underwater using commercial equipment and techniques. |
| This diving work is normally very safe, with the major hazard being radiation instead of boats, currents and falling objects offshore and inland divers face, however due to the extremes that the divers work in, thermal stress and radiation poisoning are very real dangers that need special training and equipment to overcome. |
| Sewer diving is often considered the most dangerous of all the HAZMAT jobs due to the diseases contained in raw sewage coupled with the fact syringes and glass find their way into the raw sewage, creating risks of both contracting diseases should the diver be injured by a needle, and also damaging the drysuit. |
