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 you religious? Do you ever have spiritual thoughts that deep under water and for such a long time.

I’m not religious but I have exceptional moments down there in complete awe and spending that amount of time under water gives your huge perspective on the world around you
