The facilities in use at Dyno Industrier A.S for testing explosives underwater are described. Shock wave energy and bubble energy together with detonation velocity are measured with different degrees of confinement. The use of the underwater shooting station for developing new explosives and testing of different ignition systems is explained. Finally, some comments are made on the advantages and disadvantages of having a deep salt water testing station in a Norwegian fjord.
