The Chief of the Professional Diving Division of the Maritime Authority, Captain Alejandro Ross Urquieta, has said, 'With this initiative, Escondida not only took advantage of an unfortunate experience but also actively involved itself in the matter of professional diving, giving positive support to its contractor, Sermar Ltda, who, through improving their equipment and with suitable training, is applying the highest standards of safety, which constitutes a real landmark and example for the industry at a national level'.
