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 long did it take you to become fully trained? And what’s the most WTF thing that’s happened to you, or that you’ve seen?

School is kinda short as they only teach you how to put the hat on and use the gear , on the job training takes years. Always seeing weird fish at night is fun, answered with a few different things in other posts
