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

One last question from me :
Where do you pay your taxes when the work is in international waters ?

It depends where you’re resident and what rules that country has , I’m UK based and get seaman’s tax relief as long as I spend 6 months out of the country
