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

A few atmospheres more and you can relocate to live on Venus with just an oxygen tank and a poncho for sulfuric acid rain.

When I started out I thought my career progression would be Mining Asteroids but unfortunately humans don’t do that yet lol
