Can you tell me the title of a film about a commercial diving
incident. The film story centers around a team of commercial divers trapped in a
diving bell during a storm in the North Sea and the problems that the
crew of the support ship have to recover them alive. The film was
shown on British
TV in the 90's (approx 94/95).

Dear flipper9571-ga,

From your description I believe the film is Dykket (released in 1989)
also known as ?The Dive?.

This is from the Internet Movie Database.

?Runtime: Germany:90 min
Country: Norway
Language: Norwegian 

Caught in a diving bell at the bottom of the sea, rapidly running out
of air, both the divers and the crew on the surface are racing against
time to find a solution; how to get the two men up ALIVE!?

Sendit.com also supplies a description of the plot. 
 
?Deep sea divers, Gunner and Rolf spend most of their time repairing
damaged oil rigs beneath the unpredictable North Sea. A blocked valve
sees them diving yet again but a routine emergency gets out of control
when their diving bell is fouled by fishing nets.
Their dire predicament becomes more dangerous when they realise that
their air supply is running out..??

Unfortunately they no longer stock the item.

By the looks of it you may be able to purchase the DVD for 159.00 kr
but you need to check it is a suitable type for your region and that
they will post to your country.

I trust this has identified the film correctly. If it has not, or the
answer is unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research
before rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request
