This article is another in a series of articles on the research and implementation of saturation diving technology in Poland. It discusses the specificities related to the implementation of this technology against the background of economic and historical conditions in our country. In Poland, the issue of saturation diving for the needs of the emerging offshore mining industry has been for over a dozen years dealt with by the Department of Diving Equipment and Technology of Underwater Works (Polish abbr. ZSNiTPP). In parallel, deep diving technologies were developed, in the first stage, as a basic diving technology and, since 1994, as complementary to ensure the full backup for saturation diving. Since 1995, saturation diving has become an everyday occurrence in the Polish economic zone of the Baltic Sea. This article shows the difficult path that the implementation of saturation diving took during a period of economic instability when the scale of the domestic offshore industry's facilities was small compared to global companies. Selected animators and participants in the implementation are recalled for two periods: one marked with the cooperation with the Italian underwater services company RANA and the other one, a period of implementation of long-term underwater works based on national capabilities. The article also considers the technical and organisational conditions for the implementation of saturation diving for the Polish mining industry. In 1990, the Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Company Petrobaltic (today LOTOS) played one of the key roles in the implementation of saturation diving in our country. The implementation of saturation diving in Poland was linked to the only operational diving system of Italian production, the Af-2, which enabled scientific research related to the application of new technical solutions and testing under operational conditions, as well as contributed to the development of scientific, engineering, and medical staff for the Polish offshore industry. The company played one of the main roles in the implementation of saturation diving in our country The 1995 became a landmark year in the history of saturation diving in Poland, as well as in the Baltic Sea. Through this technology, the process of installing the first two underwater exploitation heads on production wells B3-7 and B3-10 was initiated. The saturation diving was possible thanks to the leasing of the Af-2 diving system by Petrobaltic and its subsequent purchase by the Naval Academy in 1998.This system, after a series of upgrades, is still in service today.

This is another from the series of papers discussing studies on saturation diving technology and its use in Poland. This part explains the specificities of the Polish context and achievements against the backdrop of economic and historical circumstances. It describes how the central base for saturation diving came into being in the times of economic collapse in the country. At that time, the shipbuilding industry was the driving force behind research on saturation diving as a cornerstone for building a framework for diving systems to be exported to other countries to secure the extraction of assets from the sea shelf. The paper introduces the readers to the efforts of animators and protagonists of that period of underwater research in Poland whose achievements are continued until to-date. The second part of the paper shows how the Polish system of saturation diving was created. The article also considers the technical and organisational aspects of the first saturation diving experiences and the history of the Polish method of decompression for saturation diving. To accomplish this difficult task, it was crucial to ensure a solid industrial and academic base working for the defence sector and assisted by relevant state agencies. A multiannual CPBR programme was also set up with measures 9.2 and 9.5 dealing with medicine and technology which resulted in the development of a diving system with its organization, medical support and reliable technology. Outcomes of this programme are still being implemented today. Despite progress made in medicine, technology, and organisation issues involved in saturation diving are still pertinent because independently of their complexity and high cost this type of diving is the most efficient and allows for very deep diving operations up to 400-500 m.

Artykuł jest kolejnym z cyklu artykułów dotyczących badań i wdrożenia technologii nurkowań saturowanych w naszym kraju. W tej części przedstawiono polską specyfikę i osiągniecia na tle uwarunkowań gospodarczych i historycznych. Opisuje on tworzenie bazy do nurkowań saturowanych na tle zapaści gospodarczej w naszym kraju. W tym okresie przemysł stoczniowy był napędem badań nurkowań saturowanych jako podstawy do budowy systemów nurkowych, które miały być przedmiotem eksportu dla zabezpieczenia wydobycia bogactw szelfu morskiego. Pokazano w poniższym artykule wysiłek animatorów i bohaterów tego okresu badań podwodnych w naszym kraju, których dzieło jest kontynuowane do dnia dzisiejszego. W II części artykułu autorzy pokazują jak tworzono polski system nurkowań saturowanych. W artykule uwzględnia się również uwarunkowania techniczne i organizacyjne realizacji pierwszych nurkowań saturowanych i historię powstawania polskiej metody dekompresji dla nurkowań saturowanych. W tym trudnym zadaniu kluczową rolę stanowiło utworzenie bazy przemysłu i nauki pracującej na rzecz obronności wspieranej przez właściwe agendy państwa. Utworzono też wieloletni program CPBR cele 9.2.i 9.5. badań medycyny i techniki, którego wynikiem było zbudowanie systemu nurkowego z jego organizacją, zabezpieczeniem medycznym i niezwodną techniką. Owoce tego programu są wdrażane do dnia dzisiejszego. Mimo postępu w dziedzinie medycyny i techniki oraz organizacji, problemy nurkowań saturowanych są wciąż aktualne, gdyż mimo ich skomplikowania i wysokich kosztów są to nurkowania najbardziej efektywne i pozwalające na przeprowadzanie bardzo głębokiego nurkowania operacyjnego, aktualnie aż do 400-500m.

The article is the first in a series of articles on the research and implementation of saturation diving technology in our country which presents the specific Polish conditions and achievements against the background of economic and historical circumstances. In view of the fact that research and implementation has a history of more than half a century, selected key figures of this period are recalled, some of whom have disappeared in the fogs of history. In the specialized literature of the world, the Polish underwater habitats of Meduza are among top 6 countries that researched and implemented, this high technology of saturation diving. Regarded as the inspirer , pioneer and creator of the first saturation diving, he designed and developed the technique and decompression with the cooperation of a team of enthusiasts from clubs and professional divers, as well as engineering staff from the Tri-City enterprises. In the first part of the article the author characterizes the saturation dives in comparison with short dives with particular emphasis on decompression, which is the key to safe diving. The article also takes into account the technical conditions for the implementation of the first saturation dives. The author discusses the general methodology of validation and verification of the assumed decompression, referring to the Polish conditions. He describes how the medical, technical, and organizational problems of implementation of saturation diving were solved in the pioneering period against the background of world achievements. Furthermore, the author describes Polish habitat constructions of Meduza and Geonur types and their application to underwater work on the Polish shelf and coastal areas. Despite the great progress in the field of medicine and technology, as well as organization, the problems of saturation diving, despite the passage of time, remain relevant , as these are the most difficult dives from the point of view of organization, underwater physiology and safety technology.
