 Commercial Divers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
For commercial divers, though, the underwater world is more than a place to discover during leisure time--it's their workplace.
Divers constantly have to monitor their surroundings, as the heavy equipment they’re repairing or their own tools can slip and break their connection to the surface, cutting them off from air.
Saturation divers sometimes live for weeks at a time in deeply submerged facilities or under pressure in a chamber on the deck of a ship or oil platform, and are transported to their in-water work site each day, still under pressure, in a personnel transfer capsule.

 USS Wilkes-Barre with Florida Keys Reef-Divers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
It is very important for that diver to foul the anchor to keep it from re-attaching to the wreck or the bow section, which is about 100 yards east of the stern section as we often drift east with the Gulfstream current.
The advantages are that (1) it keeps divers from having to hang on during stronger currents and (2) we get off the wreck away from fishermen, their bait and chum.
One of the things we do to assist divers during the decompression phase is to have at least one safety/support diver meet the divers at around 100 feet and stay with them throughout their decompression.

However, through his efforts, Peter Bonfiglio, the owner of Kauai Divers, stayed with a panicky diver, a woman visitor from Japan, under overcast skies and choppy waters and brought her close enough to shore where they were rescued by a fishing boat.
The women divers remained in the water, with the diver from Oregon showing confidence that she could handle the ocean conditions, Bonfiglio recalled in a past interview with The Garden Island.
The Oregon diver made it to shore on her own, and the two men were escorted back to shoreline by the Coast Guard craft.

 DIVERS; DIVERSE; DIVERSITIES in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
di'-verz, di-vurs', di-vur'-si-tiz: "Divers" meaning "various," "different in kind," is now obsolete and used only as a synonym of "several," i.e.
The distinction between "divers" and "diverse" in the King James Version seems to be that the former is the wider term, the latter being restricted to the meaning of "different in kind," while "divers" is also used to express difference of number.
The same is true in Heb 13:9 where "divers" does not refer to number but to various kinds of teaching.
