Commercial Diving Gone Wrong: The 1983 Byford Dolphin Accident

Commercial Diving Gone Wrong: The 1983 Byford Dolphin Accident

It's considered one of the most horrifying ocean accidents in history. On November 5, 1983, an accident at the Byford Dolphin oil rig, located in the North Sea off the coast of Norway, cost five people their lives in a particularly horrifying way. The incident shocked the public and led to more stringent safety regulations for those diving at commercial depths. The event now stands as a cautionary tale for deep-sea divers, who operate at high risk depths.
