About this listen

In this gripping episode, we dive into one of the most harrowing accidents in commercial diving history — the Byford Dolphin incident. A routine operation turned tragic in 1983 when a catastrophic decompression event aboard the North Sea drilling rig led to the gruesome deaths of four divers and a tender. Join us as we explore the science behind saturation diving, the human cost of deep-sea exploration, and the lessons learned from one of the industry's deadliest dives.
