Diveyhteys

Diveyhteys is a Finnish term that translates to "dive connection" or "diving connection." It is primarily used in the context of diving, specifically referring to the physical link or hose that supplies breathing gas from a surface supply to a diver. This connection is crucial for surface-supplied diving, where the diver does not carry their own air supply but instead receives it from a compressor or gas bank on a vessel or shore.

The diveyhteys typically consists of a flexible hose designed to withstand the pressures of the underwater environment and the demands of breathing. It carries air, nitrox, or other breathing mixtures. Attached to the diver's helmet or mask, the diveyhteys allows for a continuous and reliable flow of gas. Safety systems are often integrated into the diveyhteys, such as over-pressure relief valves and quick-release mechanisms in case of emergency. The length and diameter of the diveyhteys are carefully chosen based on the dive depth, gas consumption rate, and operational requirements. Maintaining the integrity and functionality of the diveyhteys is paramount for the safety and success of surface-supplied diving operations.
