A novel dive method, namely, saturation diving is presented. Extreme factors affecting the deep divers during such saturation dives are listed. The physiologic parameters of early adaptation, stable adaptation, early disadaptation and readaptation periods of a man during prolonged staying in a hyperbaric artificial gaseous environment are evaluated. The key task of medical monitoring of saturation dives is discussed.
