Compagnie maritime d'expertises

Compagnie maritime d'expertises (also known as COMEX) is a French company specializing in engineering and deep diving operations. It was established in 1961 by Henri-Germain Delauze, a pioneer in the field of commercial diving and underwater technology.

History

COMEX was founded in Marseille, France, in 1961. The company quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to deep-sea exploration and technology. In the 1970s, COMEX performed several record-breaking deep diving operations, including the Hydra VIII operation in 1976, which saw a diver reach a depth of 501 meters.

Operations

COMEX operates in various sectors including offshore oil and gas, submarine cable laying, and underwater construction. The company is known for its expertise in saturation diving, a technique that allows divers to work at great depths for extended periods of time. COMEX also provides training and certification for professional divers.

Notable Projects

One of COMEX's most notable projects is the Janus IV, a submersible designed for deep-sea exploration and research. The Janus IV was used in several scientific expeditions, including the exploration of the Titanic wreck site in 1987.
