Emergency situations and planned underwater technical works, Calling a professional diver in winter (Under ice or in frost)

Winter in Latvia means one thing for divers – work under the iceWhen the water surface is covered with a thick layer of ice, the usual underwater work does not stop. It only becomes more specific, more complex and requires an even higher level of professionalism.

If your business or property needs urgent underwater work – search, inspection or repair – you need a certified industrial diver who specializes in working under the ice.

Why is the winter call different?

Working under ice is not the same as summer diving. It requires special skills, equipment, and strict adherence to safety protocols.

1. Superior security and communication

There is no direct access to the surface under the ice. This requires:

• “Full Face Mask” (Full face mask) with a built-in communication system for continuous communication with the support team on the ice.
• Link system (rope) that ensures the diver's location and safe return to the entry/exit hole.
• Redundant equipment (backup breathing systems) and heat retention solutions.

2. Special equipment for cold challenges

To protect a diver from hypothermia, professional equipment is used:

• Dry suits and a specialized layer of underwear (Thinsulate or similar) for warmth.
• Cold-resistant regulators, which are designed for use in low temperatures and prevent freezing.

3. Limited visibility

During the winter months and under ice, visibility is often zero. This means that work is done by relying solely on touch and command cues. Precision and experience is critical in such circumstances.
