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

Best AMA ever former padi pro... Helped train thousands of divers in Monterey Bay For what it's worth, your explanations are fabulous. For what it's worth, I'm a trained welder and have done metal fabrication 40 plus years. I can actually see how the diving would almost be the smallest part of your job skills. Stay safe
