Scientific diving

Scientific diving

Scientific diving is a skill that has been developed since the LEMAR was founded. It is a research tool widely used by researchers, engineers and technicians working in the coastal environment. Several hundred dives are carried out annually by the laboratory’s divers. Most of these dives are dedicated to collecting living samples, installing and retrieving measuring equipment or experimental devices. The department has also developed renowned expertise in underwater photography and videography. The unit’s divers hold a Certificate of Hyperbaric Competence (CAH), governed by the regulations of the Ministry of Labour. They dive regularly in Brest harbour and the Iroise Sea, but also along all French coasts, both in mainland France and overseas territories, as well as abroad. Furthermore, for the past twenty years or so, the Brest team has specialised in polar diving, whether in the Arctic or the Antarctic.
