Ocean Project

Oceaneering's 185' DSV Ocean Project is ideally suited to support Gulf of Mexico offshore construction or maintenance and repair projects.

Vessel accommodations for 27 persons, exclusive of the crew quarters, allow 24-hour diving capabilities. Major diving equipment components, including dive controls and office space, are permanently installed, freeing 3,000 sq. ft. of clear deck space at the back of the vessel for staging Atmospheric Diving Systems or supplementary project equipment. Two divers can work simultaneously.

Each anchor wire and fair lead on the Ocean Project is covered. Exposed wires have been pro-actively enclosed, thus removing potential pinch points and creating a safer working environment for vessel personnel.
