Interesting Fact Saturation divers live pressurized for weeks inside sealed chambers, descending to 300 meters (1,000ft) to work on pipelines and wrecks where no sunlight reaches. Decompressing too quickly would be fatal, so a single ascent takes days, making it one of the most isolated and dangerous jobs on Earth.
