Those conditions would be challenging during the day, but what about at night? That seems downright impossible without a huge professional operation, not some poor maintained pleasure boat.
The closest equivalent I can think of is cave diving but those tend to have guidelines placed by expert teams and those often take many expeditions over several years to fully place.
- nradov 2y agoVisibility is bad in the Baltic Sea. At 80m depth there's not much ambient light so little difference between day and night. Once the pipeline has been located, the divers can just go straight down and up the anchor line. There's no need for them to navigate, or follow a guideline like in cave diving.
