Summary
Pathe synopsis: "Skin diving" with aqualungs has recently become a favourite holiday sport - but it also has many commercial uses. At a famous diving school at Chessington, Surrey, we see how divers, both with aqualungs and the familiar deep-sea suits, are trained in underwater salvage and repair work - including the use of spanners, saws and oxy-acetylene burners!
