A major diplomatic row has erupted between France and Canada after a demand for $44.2- million in unpaid taxes by the Department of National Revenue against a Canadian-French consortium that is building the world’s first commercial nuclear mini-submarine.
The submarine, known as the SAGA 1, is a prototype that could be used for oil exploration and development in the Canadian Arctic. It is due to be launched next month for sea trials off France.
The consortium, which includes two private Canadian companies, a French Government agency and a French company, has four shareholders. Ownership is split equally between the Canadian and French partners. [Read More ...]

Desco corporation, known to commercial divers throughout the world as DESCO, was first organized in 1937 as a wisconsin corporation under the name of Diving Equipment and Salvage Co. Its organization was the result of several events which occurred during the preceding years. [Read More ...]
In 1995 Subtech was borne as a small commercial diving company working in the Port of Durban, South Africa. From these humble beginnings as a 3-man operation with one boat, it has evolved over the last 23 years to a Group of Companies which provide specialist maritime services globally. However, while the history of Subtech is nothing short of a modern-day business fairy-tale, this is not the case for many young South African’s looking to enter the maritime industry. This is why it is so important for Subtech, as a leader in the industry, to ensure that we develop initiatives that support South Africa’s youth. [Read More ...]
The Wheatstone Project, offshore Northwest Australia, and Mafumeira Sul Project, offshore Angola, have both achieved outstanding safety performance on these high-risk activities, enabling the projects to progress towards delivery of first oil and gas.
Incident-free diving at Wheatstone
Time to get technical: The Wheatstone subsea system consists of six infield flowlines that connect the Iago and Wheatstone North and South drill centers through risers on the platform. A 44-inch diameter trunkline connects the platform to the onshore gas plant at Onslow 120 nautical miles away. [Read More ...]
During the 1990s, my work led me to spend many months in Nigeria where as I already mentioned elsewhere the living conditions were not always very easy.
Moreover, in this country, despite the fact that we were at sea, we regularly had the visit of various types of insects. Among these, one could find a superbly colored flying insect which once posed, had the particularity to ride their small wings with the hind legs and then introduce them in a kind of backpack.

Israel Franco Moreno, 41, from La Coruna, Spain, was a professional underwater welder with Titan Salvage who had travelled the world on ship salvage operations. [Read More ...]
Saturation diving is one way to reduce the overall risk to the diver while improving productivity. It is a very expensive, fairly hazardous and high-tech way of controlling risk economically. This apparent contradiction can be explained by the amount of time the diver can spend working productively for the time spent decompressing. [Read More ...]
