Close the diving bell door, which would have been open to the trunk. Slightly increase the pressure in the diving bell to seal the bell door tightly. Close the chamber 1 door, which was also open to the trunk. Slowly depressurize the trunk until it reached a pressure of 1 atm. Open the clamp to separate the diving bell from the chamber system.

The wet-bell is used for air-diving with two divers at a time to a maximum depth of 60 metres (200 ft). The divers are equipped with hot-water suits, TV cameras, and constant communication with the diving supervisor on board the Belos. A slide leads from the divers' exit point to the chamber to speed up the surface decompression process.
