buceo en técnica de campana seca a intervención

English translation: dry-bell diving

Spanish term or phrase: buceo en técnica de campana seca a intervención
For translation from Spanish from Spain to British English

From standards for divers, particularly for professional work. Perhaps it means the work is carried out in the "dry bell" (?) at the work site itself. An alternative form appears to be that the dry bell acts as a refuge for "saturation diving". Do I have that right?

How would you propose to translate "buceo en técnica de campana seca a intervención" as in:

"En el buceo profesional en técnica de campana seca a intervención la exposición máxima por día no podrá exceder de X minutos y además el tiempo diario de descompresión deberá ser inferior a Y minutos."

English translation:dry-bell diving
Explanation:
I agree with your interpretation.

A diving bell is a rigid chamber used to transport divers from the surface to depth and back in open water, usually for the purpose of performing underwater work. The most common types are the open-bottomed wet bell and the **closed bell**, which can maintain an internal pressure greater than the external ambient pressure.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_bell

A closed bell can also be referred to as a dry bell:

Experience as diver/tender/supervisor, surface-supplied diving, **dry-bell diving**, wet-bell diving & transfer under pressure.

I don't think you need to translate 'a intervención', meaning work, ie repairs and maintenance, because that's what diving bells are for. But you could if you wanted to.

Explanation:
I don't think you need to translate 'a intervención' literally sent my alarm bells rining, especially as a similar question has recently (one and a half years ago) been asked before - see the first ProZ weblink - in which the doubter claimed 'they're contrasted with "de observación".'

Example sentence(s):
  • One tender for each diver tended from the surface. • One stand-by diver for every two divers in the water. Standby Diver to be located in wet bell.
