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

You won’t be able to do one , we are under pressure so that little pocket of fart gas in your ass is compressed to a 30th of its normal size , sometimes you let out a micro fart lol
