Diving projects have become a visual exercise for clients who expect to see what’s going on underwater. Fortunately, modern video and digital photo equipment is compact and provides sharp images which can be transferred to the client on site or easily edited on the camera or computer. Clients can view live footage of what is in the water either via ROV or diver.

Lifting a vessel out of the water for inspection or maintenance is a very expensive and is often unnecessary. Props, anodes, inlets, rudders etc can usually be inspected, cleaned or replaced underwater at a fraction of the cost. Abyss also offers specialist services such as Invasive Species Surveys by qualified Marine Biologists, a requirement to enter and leave some Australian Ports.

Pipe balloons or plugs are required to dewater areas for construction or inspection. Divers first inspect the pipe for marine growth and siltation and clean out if required, failure to do this may damage the plug or even worse may rupture the plug or cause it not to seal. Correct procedures need to be followed to ensure the safety of all. Abyss ensures that all necessary steps are taken.
