Abstract
For complex subsea intervention projects, combined diver/ROV operations are occurring more frequently and are “Standard procedure” with some operators. To obtain the best results in terms of function, cost and safety, such operations should be planned and conducted with care.
This paper draws on both planning and operational experience to suggest some of the important considerations. This includes considerations of the characteristics of each type of work system, the planning approach which should be used, methods for proper integration and supervision, and the interaction of communication and psychological factors. Several operational examples are cited. A set of guidelines for such planning and operations is suggested.
