    Key points:

    in june 2022, three months before the attack, that six members of Ukraine’s special operations forces were going to rent a boat and use a submersible vehicle to dive to the seabed using oxygen and helium for breathing, in order to sabotage the pipeline.

    In July (one month later, 2 months before the attack), the UN security council heard investigators had found traces of undersea explosives in samples from a yacht, but that they were unable to reliably establish the identity or motives of those involved or whether it was the work of a specific country.

        Nitrogen with high pressure getting toxic. Same for pure oxygen. So they take something non-toxic as substitute. Prevents bubbling up of blood while diving up too.
