1. A method for monitoring the condition of apparatus located at an underwater facility, comprising the steps of:
- a) sensing at least one parameter associated with the apparatus,b) providing a model of expected behaviour of said at least one parameter,c) comparing said sensed parameter with said model, andd) assessing the condition of the apparatus based upon said comparison.

22. Condition monitoring means for monitoring a component of an underwater facility, comprising:
-
a sensor associated with the component for sensing a parameter and outputting a signal indicative of said parameter; and an expert system arranged to receive each said output signal, the expert system including a model of expected behaviour of said parameter. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
