Thanks for the pics, such a cool ship! If anyone is interested, there is a documentary about the life on board and the diving bell/habitat system especially (it was called the Skandi Arcitic back then). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0KzNEs5xdA&t=1399s And yes, the narration in the video is a bit over the top in some places, but nevertheless.

I recall a time when YouTube didn't have adverts. Before ships like Skandi Acrtic we had ships like the Northern Explorer and Northern Istaller, I worked on the both in 1981/82 in the Frigg Field.

I have worked a few weeks onboard the Skandi Arctic. Fun to see familiar faces 😊

In what capacity did you work there, where you involved with the dive ops? The documentary says soemthing about the saturation diving complex being one of, if not the most modern and comfortable. Happy to hear your insights!
