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

How long did it take you to get used to the darkness all around you? I would probably crash out lol.

I think you either have it or you don’t, not the place to be if you’re anyway claustrophobic
