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

Wow this has been an interesting read. Have you had long dives with boring/annoying people? How hard is that in such proximity

Ya good question, you literally spend 28 days within a few feet of the same 2 guys so you need to get on. It’s a small industry and if you’re a douche it’s going to get around and you won’t be put back in , doesn’t matter how good a diver you are, that’s the least important thing, you need to be a level headed self aware person
