In 1983 NUTEC, together with two diving companies, completed two dives with 12 divers (6 in each dive) to pressures equivalent to 350 m s.w., one dive lasted for 17 d, and the other, 24 d. The purpose of the dives was to demonstrate that the diving companies were prepared for diving to 300 m depth in the North Sea. No major medical or physiological problems arose during the dives, although all divers had minor symptoms of high pressure nervous syndrome during compressions. During decompression three decompression sickness incidents occurred, which involved pain only, and all were successfully treated. All divers went through comprehensive medical physiological examinations before and after the dives. No significant changes from values measured before diving have been found in the six divers who have so far been examined after diving, except that five of them were considerably more sensitive to CO2 after the dive than before. Several problems arose in connection with the divers' breathing equipment, thermal protection and communication, which need to be improved.
1983年，NUTEC与两家潜水公司合作，让12名潜水员（每次潜水6人）完成了两次相当于350米海水压力的潜水，一次潜水持续17天，另一次持续24天。潜水的目的是证明潜水公司已为在北海300米深度潜水做好准备。潜水过程中未出现重大医学或生理问题，尽管所有潜水员在加压过程中都有高压神经综合征的轻微症状。减压过程中发生了3起减压病事件，仅涉及疼痛，且均得到成功治疗。所有潜水员在潜水前后都接受了全面的医学生理检查。在目前已接受潜水后检查的6名潜水员中，除5人潜水后对二氧化碳的敏感度比潜水前大幅提高外，未发现与潜水前测量值有显著变化。潜水员的呼吸设备、热防护和通信方面出现了一些问题，需要改进。
