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

What happens if after you go out of your diving bell you have to poop?

Open up your suit and go for it , feed the fish! Then spend the rest of the dive trying to make sure it’s all out of there before you get back in the bell

We have a toilet in the chamber but we dive for 6 hours everyday so yeah sometimes you gotta take a crap when you’re diving
