Pour plus de sécurité, les plongeurs devraient cependant apporter un sifflet et une «saucisse de sécurité» [...] Ce type d’équipement de sécurité [...] est maintenant très répandu en plongée récréative. La saucisse est enroulée et attachée sur les anneaux du compensateur ou mis dans les poches. Un filin de 5 mètres est habituellement accroché à la bouée : le plongeur remonte au palier de sécurité puis gonfle la bouée qui se déploie à la surface. [...] La saucisse est particulièrement intéressante, car elle est haute(1 à 2 mètres) et de couleur voyante. Elle facilite le repérage des plongeurs sur les vastes étendues d’eau ou en présence de grosses vagues. 2, record 4, French, - parachute%20de%20palier

Deep diving systems. With the increase in offshore oil and gas drilling, and with offshore mining being contemplated, a more efficient system of diving deep has been developed. This system, called either deep dive system (DDS) or advanced dive system (ADS), incorporates a pressurized personnel transfer capsule (PTC), like an elevator, in which the divers ascend and descend rapidly to working depths. The divers, employing mixed-gas hookah breathing apparatus and wearing lightweight suits, emerge from the PTC to work. 3, record 6, English, - diving%20system
