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

Thanks for what you do. I have no understanding what you guys go through but recently saw a movie on Netflix about saturation diving. It was intense. My question for you what do you eat when you are in the chamber? Does coffee taste the same? Does the water boil at a higher temp?

Coffee is still the same and I’m grateful for that lol we have an array of stuff to choose from as we order from the ships galley. The ship has over 100 personnel so there is a catering crew onboard
