Abstract:
Evolution of "safe diving practices" introduced by the diving industry and regulatory authorities in the North Sea over the past 3 or 4 decades has improved the safety records of oilfield commercial diving considerably. However, accidents still occur. In an accident occurring underwater, the outcome is often fatal. For a diving doctor providing emergency medical advice to the industry, when a diving superintendent calls to say "I have a problem" indicates an emergency and a life and death situation for a diver in water. Making a quick decision after comprehending the situations is important to tackle the problem.
