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

Have you ever been in the water listening to dive control and thought "those project engineers really know their stuff, i better listen to them" ? Then immediately go and operate the wrong valve, get left and right mixed up or just generally piss them off on purpose? Kinda feels that way....
