Thor Øyvind Ødegaard rises from the
water after welding at the bottom. The
divers must comply with very strict
regulations, and the water level in the
reservoir always determines how long a
diver works under water and how long
he needs on his return to the surface.
Vintage: diver Thomas Holum strikes a pose in what appears to be a 19th century diving suit, which it is, in
a way. Although the suit itself is quite modern, it is made based on a patent from 1837. “The diving pioneers
200 years ago knew what they were doing,” Holum says.
