September 27 2006 was a calm day as the crew positioned the turbine for installation
The lowering of the turbine begins.
Half way into the water
A day of minimum tides had been chosen. One of the few in September.
Submerged.
The turbine is lowered about 8 meters to mate up with the top piling.
Underwater, Can Pac diver Brian has the job of lining it up with the hole on the top piling and tightening attachment. A camera on his helmet guides the positioning of the barge above.
The bottom of the turbine after installation.
Brian returning to the surface.
The hard-hat is quickly removed
And a big smile denotes success in a successful mission.
