The Work Barge

As you can see in this photo, it takes a lot of people doing a lot of things at once to make even the simpliest of tasks happen underwater. Here we are lowering yet another chain hoist to divers who are already stationed underwater waiting for it. A behive of activity, this corner of the work barge was where the divers entered the water, always the focal point in these type of jobs. WebMaster Bruce
