3:28 that man climbing out of the abyss. I can't even begin to describe the terror that brings me. A different breed of human is required for this line of work.
That never bothered me. Sitting at a 40-foot deco stop for an hour at 3 a.m. was more terrifying than anything else because you had time to sit and think.
My total respect to you guy's. The north sea is no joke even if you are just sailing it. The variables you add into the mix for the dive are pretty scary to be honest. So much stuff could go badly wrong at any moment.
This gives me such strange feelings and puts the ocean in perspective how deep and mysterious its beautiful yet it gives me shivers I feel like experiencing this in person is something id seek out id love to learn more. Thank you for sharing
When I was young, I so wanted to be a deep diver. I grew up lifting furniture for a moving company and was used to hard work, but I wasn't disciplined, and I got off track in my youth. Desk jobs that weren't terrible were the best I could do, and not the adventure I wanted. Very cool vid. Dangerous job, but looks exciting.
You have a free flow knob that will blast your face with gas. Itch on nose. Nose clearing device that goes under your nose can be used to scratch. Worse... a smal hair in your eye. Cant do f'all about that! Just have to wait till it locates in the rim of your eye... or go back to the bell and flush with bottled water. Before putting my hat on i religiously used to tug off loose eyelashes!
The diving doesn't scare me as much as the transition from bell to pressurised living quarters. I know there's a ton of safety measures in place to make sure of not another Byford disaster but it could happen.
I’d be fine with that. I could do this job but I couldn’t do the night time side of it or going down far enough at certain light where it’s dark down there. I don’t mind the sea but at if I can’t see much l have a heart attack 😂
I am a padi rescue diver and I have worked on the indutrial side as well. I was a hose tender and did the rigging. I have been in a hood and semi dry in a lake and it wasnt that bad. I have thought about going in to this and leave my trade as a union boilermaker. Would it be worth it at 38?
I heard somewhere that divers in the (de)compression tanks spend up to 28 days getting their body adjusted for the pressure at the depths they are diving and that it can sometimes be as much as 19 times to pressure of the surface? I couldn't believe that was right. Is it really as much as that? If so, it certainly proves that any space travel to planets with considerably denser (right word?) atmospheric conditions would definitely be possible and allow humans to walk on the the surface, providing the appropriate "acclimatisation" was implemented and the correct equipment was used.
It can be more than 19 times. At sea level the pressure is 1 Atmosphere (ATM) at 10m it is 2ATM, 30m is 4ATM, 100m is 11ATM. I have dived at 190m/20ATM and the deepest ever dive was to 701m/71.1ATM.
Ok your comment is 3 years old, but anyway. They don't decompress for 28 days, but they live under pressure for 28 days, working, sleeping etc. Then after 28 days they decompress and go home. If they're pressurized to the pressure equal to 100 meter depth (330 feet), it takes approx. 3 days of decompression. Kinda crazy that my father did this for 20 years... he was rarely ever home.
diving isn’t a back up plan its a jobs lads like myself have spent tens of thousands on in training and years of dog work to get to a decent position. Stay in college
Have some kind of work experience in building or fitting/welding or fishing Go to a dive college finish it and start ringing companies for work do this for many years until you get offshore work. Work offshore for many years and do a sat ticket then start all over again
I had no idea this job existed. I just found out last year. I’m mesmerized and terrified. Many kudos to those taking on this job! I hear it’s taxing but earns a high salary! I ei see if the rivers have an average life expectancy. Will be researching.
Is that the one when his umbilical gets stuck and clings on to that metal pole and the boat is drifting away and its getting tighter and tighter due to a storm
This may be a ridiculously dumb question but when you open the hatch to let the divers out of the bell does that water not come in because the bell itself is pressurized to the same pressure as the surrounding water?
The oceans are much scarier than space because the chance of other life finding us is minute. In the oceans we know theres life, and some species yet to be found entirely.
I recently read a great book about this job. Bloody crazy breed. Was called Salvamar - A Tale of Salvage and Deep Diving. Really enjoyed it and the main character whose career you follow is quite a dude.
*""I HAVE ALWAYS HAD ADMIRATION FOR THOSE THAT MAKE A LIVING AS SATURATIONDIVERS, ""YOU MUST BE A DIFFERENTBREED FOR THIS TYPE OF LIFESTYLE, KEEP UP THE GOODWORK""!!!!!!!!!!!!*
I don't know how u do it. Very brave to do a job like that. An insight into how humans do the work to keep us all going, from the bottom of the sea. I had no idea how the miles of pipes were put together. I think I thought lots of robotic submersibles were involved. How wrong I was.
I am wondering how does the increased pressure of 10+ ATM in the diving bell feels, is it noticeably harder to move around in that kind of pressure enviroment compared to the surface?
I m a colleague students whose graduation work is about saturation diving May I ask some questions about their job Have they ever met some problems or some uneasy movement to work? ex: not easy to cut something? or problems living in chamber
Stupid Question: Assuming the Diving Bell is at a depth of, let's say, 300 meters. What would happen if someone would climb down the hatch into the water at that depth only half-way down, submerging his body up until his belt? Would you actually feel the water pressure even if you just stuck your arm in the water? Without a diving suite, forgot to mention.
These people are super humans.... I just can’t believe that some people are brave enough to take on this job. They should get more visibility, I never heard of this job before until I saw a documentary on Netflix and I am soooo amazed by it, wow!!!’ Thank you for sharing !! I would Love to see more 😀👏👏
You are surely aware of the damages you aquire over time doing this job right? There is a reason some of these guys make half a million $ a year... It´s amazing i admit it but at what cost...
they have a 100% acceptance, they'll even accept you if you've never dived in your life. Ive heard great things about the school but be prepared to find little no jobs in the market. US market only employs about 3 thousand divers, and all the schools pump out around 1000 divers a year, over 60% of commercial divers quit without even completing a full year of service
so when you go up to the bell do you have to off gas? and also is it no d if the bell is that close to the sea floor? im currently in dive school and i want to be a sat diver one day.
Yes, once we’re in the bell the hat comes off. The height of the bell from the seabed depends on what assets are around and how tall they are. If there aren’t any assets in the area the bell can be quite close to the seabed
Hey i have a few questions... im not a very experienced diver though (im only 14 lol) so if this seems ignorant im sorry. Do you use heliox while diving this deep? And is that a warm water suit you are wearing while going down the diving bell? what depth are you at and what task are you doing at the ocean floor? Lastly how long is your decompression obligation at that depth?
Yes the breathing mix is Heliox. Yes it's a warm water suit. The water comes down from the ship and is regulated by a valve on the divers hip. In this video we were conducting valve ops and fitting a flushing hose to a manifold. Depth was around 100m. Decompression takes roughly 1 hour for every metre. 100m = 100 hours of decompression, but that is a very rough guide.
Generally, yes, although strong currents can appear at any level of the sea. Sometimes the surface is ok, but 20 ft down there can be a really bad current
Wow that looks fun, i really want to become a sat diver since i was in a high school, what is the requirement and the cost for the training to joining this job?
First you need to do your Commercial SCUBA and Surface Supplied courses. Check this school out for course availability and pricing: www.commercialdivertraining.co.uk
Yes. The hot water comes down the umbilical with the breathing gas and light/camera/communications cable. There's a valve on the diver's hip that regulates flow.
I’d like to convince myself I’d have the gumption to do this job, but then I think about the reality of being a sat diver for 0.00005 seconds and my gumption goes bye bye.
captlucky 23 the pressure inside the bell is the same as the water beneath, however you need to make sure the bell door thing is shut tight before you open the other door as the pressure inside the actual pressure chamber is different
Yes about 5 degrees Celsius. The suits we wear have hot water pumped into them. There's a valve on the hip that regulates the flow and we can ask the diver supervisor to make the water hotter or colder to suit what we are doing.
You are the real Astronauts no one ever hears about

I was just thinking the same thing. If i am not able to fly for SpaceX, then ill saturation dive.

He was different.
That never bothered me. Sitting at a 40-foot deco stop for an hour at 3 a.m. was more terrifying than anything else because you had time to sit and think.
His light is only off for the camera, normally you'd keep it on climbing back to the bell.
I don’t know it looks fun to me
I need high power LED that can light up 30M diameter space so I feel better to do this job
