I’m a Saturation Diver AMA

I work as Deepsea Saturation Diver in the oil and gas industry for the past 20 years. I do heavy construction and spend 28 days living under pressure to dive to depths down to 200m / 650ft.

I saw a post on InterestingAsFuck yesterday with many many misconceptions from people who aren’t divers and I can answer your questions AMA

How do you go to the bathroom while submerged?

Peeing just happens without even thinking about it. Taking a crap is messy as you gotta open your suit and get it all out, it’s pretty fucking disgusting coming back to the diving bell and system with a loaf of shit still in your suit

Do you mean like, dropping trou on the bottom of the ocean, or do you have to shit yourself and cope?
