To perform the world's most dangerous job demands the support of the most technologically advanced ship in the world. On the frontline of exploring Earth's final frontier, the sea floor, is a new breed of ship... the saturation dive support ship. The biggest, the best and the newest is Skandi Arctic. She's the mother ship for aquanauts who work hundreds of meters below the surface on jobs considered, at least on this planet, the most dangerous in the world. Christened in 2009, Skandi is 157 meters long and the saturation dive habitat that sits on her stern is both state of the art and borderline science fiction.
