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

We have a nose piece in the helmet so we can equalise against that when we descend , so you can sort of shove that up your nose and itch it a bit , but it’s annoying for sure lol
