Description

The “Kaiyo” is a unique, twin-hulled, saturation-diving-capable research vessel owned by the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC), the primary institution in Japan dedicated to ocean R&D. Operating since 1985, in 1990 (when this article was written) the ship contained many advanced design features that allowed it to carry out additional missions besides saturation diving, including deep ocean mapping and launch and recovery of remotely operated vehicles. During an at-sea saturation dive, the authors were invited to visit the ship and report on its activities.
