From the ancient Greeks in the Mediterranean to the salvage firms operating across the U.S., salvage divers are connected to a legacy that spans industries and entire societies. In “Spotlight on Salvage: Meet the Divers,” reporter Patrick Zeitler highlights the need for salvage divers to be experts in demolition, rigging, welding and underwater burning in the latest issue of WorkBoat. Additionally, an understanding of naval architecture allows them to develop an innate sixth sense of the effects of fluid dynamics, both inside and outside of the vessel. Sean Mai, a commercial diver since 2008 and freelance salvage diver for Resolve Marine is interviewed and states that every day brings something new. “What’s unique about salvage is that it's way more unstructured (than typical marine construction or the offshore oil and gas),” Mai said. “We’re often called at the worst time under the worst conditions and the salvage team is expected to work through the issues to make the salvage happen.” Click https://ow.ly/mIoV50U7eCS for more on Sean and other salvage divers and learn how their talent and innovation is driving the salvage industry forward.
