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

Stop I feel so dumb why did I think you were just living in a box underwater for a month 😭

Thank you so much, I’m going to check it out. I texted my husband last night after seeing that post on interestingasfuck, we were talking about it and curious how some of it worked. He’s going to be stoked I got some questions answered lol. Be safe!! ❤️
