Hydra Converts Vessel to Meet Saturation Diving Market Needs

Tuesday 25 September 2018

Offshore and subsea construction company Hydra enters the saturation diving market with a powerful diving support vessel, the M/V Subsea Responder.

Trevor Davis, president and CEO, announced the company has converted its flagship vessel, the M/V Subsea Responder and acquired a saturation diving system to prepare for the influx of projects as the oil and gas industry experiences an upturn.

Founded in 2010, Hydra is a leading provider of offshore and subsea construction. Adding saturation diving capabilities to its full-suite of services was the strategic next step, explained Brent Sappington, Hydra project manager.

Newly installed on the vessel, the SAT-14 is a 12-man saturated diving system that allows longer duration in-water working time and greater working depths than are achievable using surface diving techniques.
