%X A l'occasion de la Conf¨¦rence Internationale de Paris sur la P¨¦n¨¦tration sous-marine(6-8 d¨¦cembre 1982), cet article fait le point sur les diff¨¦rents moyens d'intervention sous-marine disponibles ¨¤ ce jour (plongeurs, engins t¨¦l¨¦command¨¦s, sous-marins ¨¤ pression atmosph¨¦rique) et sur un certain nombre de probl¨¨mes technologiques communs (mat¨¦riaux, t¨¦l¨¦manipulation, navigation, sources d'¨¦nergie). Ce domaine est encore en pleine ¨¦volution et fait appel aux r¨¦centes innovations technologiques. Bien que les engins t¨¦l¨¦command¨¦s semblent avoir actuellement la faveur des industriels, les autres moyens restent d'avenir prometteur, la compl¨¦mentarit¨¦ devant remplacer dans le futur la concurrence La r¨¦surrection de l'Argyron¨¨te qui doit devenir en 1985 un banc d'essais des nouvelles techniques est le t¨¦moignage de l'activit¨¦ de ce secteur industriel. This article is based on the International Symposium in Paris on Underwater Operations and Techniques 6-9 December 1982. It reviews the different methods now available for underwater operations (divers, remote-controlled vehicles, atmospheric-pressure submarines) and various technological problems common to all of them (materials, remote manipulation, navigating, power sources). This field is evolving rapidly and makes use of the most recent technological innovations. Although remote-controlled vehicles now seem to be favored by industrialists, the other methods still have a promising future, and the complementariness of these methods can be expected to replace rivalry among them. The resurrection of the Argyron¨¨te project, which should become a test bench for new techniques in 1985, is a good illustration of the activity going on in this industrial sector.
