In 2016, Caley has raised the bar for dive bell handling systems, with development of 18-man and 24-man DNV classed, twin bell, saturation dive systems; and a 3m wide portable saturation dive bell handling system - one of the most ultra-compact, fully road transportable, bell handling systems ever made.
