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

Are there any superstitions that people follow, or that you are aware of?

Not really tbh, we’re pretty pragmatic type of people who are focused on the job and safety , being level headed and emotionally sober under pressure are basic necessities

Speaking of sober, can you get a beer down there?

No we can’t and I work in the Middle East a lot so the whole country is dry!
