Saturation Diving - all bell run movie (scenes ''behind the work")
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2021
- Almost all scenes are inside a diving saturation system, covering all bell run on 26th September 2020, and few images in the water at 78msw, with poor visibility.
This video is to show quickly the routine of a dive team inside the chambers/bell but there are a lot of peaple working outside to keep everything functional and safe.
Storage depth: 68msw
Botton depth: 78msw
Gas breathing: heliox
It's good to hear that Alvin and the Chipmunks are still together after so many years.
life's a gas
I’m surprised they make suits big enough for the gigantic balls these dudes have. Hats off to you gentlemen.
They do. You can see it @1:00 It denotes Extra, extra large testicles!
It's not as bad as you think under pressure the balls crumle down to a manageable size so they can be crammed into the suit and held in place with leg loops. One tiny leak though and it's an international pollution incident with jizz all over the place - they have to deploy those big floating booms to scoop it all up or the beaches would be covered in it.
I dive for a living doing leak detection and repairs underwater for all types of swimming pools, Working in water temps around 35 degrees in the winter is brutal, I give these men credit im very comfortable under water but this type of diving makes me nervous, much respect!
Omg right. I have a friend who did underwater welding ( I don’t know enough to really know all he used to do while sat diving) It looks so scary to me, but he said they never even think about what dangers there may be. He’s since retired. I am still amazed at this kind of work.
This has gotta be one of the most terrifying jobs in the world. Not to mention the mental strain of living in such a confined space for so long at a time.
It's like going in outer space man. So freaking scary.
You know there are some jobs you really want to do even when growing up as a child? Yeah this isn’t one of them.
Child:
- Commercial diving?… sounds cool.
- Saturation diving?……. ¡WTF!
I'm a child and I'd go sat diving as a job.
@@Kasterkk trust me you wouldn't when the claustrophobia kicks in when you r in the diving Bell and its no where to go but down...
My friend told me that this is his dream job .... thats why im here
@@SuperJulianAnt I'm not claustrophobic though
All that just to go recuperate the sunglasses the boat captain dropped the previous day.... :)
Man, this looks like a freakin NIGHTMARE. God bless the brave Men who do this kind of work. Looks like a lot of work.
men do this why not women? equality?
@@shoutout.kokain8713women aren't stoopid. 😂
I've recently found a lot of fascination in sat diving. Just all the science and tech behind it. I'm half sad and half glad that my body is entirely unfit for any kind diving work lol
I'm a working hard hat diver of 42years. ( owner/ operator) after a while you stop doing the really crazy stuff. Looking forward to retirement in a few years. Torrance Parker was a good friend of mine, bless him. All you young guys, don't take chances.
Are you the Greek? Did you ever work in the North Sea ?
@Jan Petter Norli Olsen No I'm American ( black) worked the Midwest with a lil east and west coast sprinkled in.
@@mihalispsychedelicrealeyes1284 Really apprecite it . If you have worked that long , and are still alive , you are the real
@Jan Petter Norli Olsen yeah, im still hanging around. Don't like the cold anymore, but I'm starting a lil job next month. It's funny I bring a giant turbo heater for topside and hot water machine to pump hot water in my suit while I'm underwater. I have a couple of dive videos at, mihalis psychedelic real eyes on utube. It's not a diving channel just a lot of little things i video, but there's about 3 videos where I'm diving some lil jobs. Peace.
My dad worked for McDermott in the late 80 as a saturation equipment foreman. He took care of all the equipment the divers used.
Thanks for this - great watch! My granddad was a deep sea diver during the War, and his comms consisted of pulling on his air hose - I'm glad to see it's improved a bit since then!
We still learn line pulls for communication!
we've made a few steps but still a long way to go :)
liar
@@LowdownBoy If you think he is a liar, then why dont you tell us why, instead of writing a one word comment and looking like a complete dumbass? You might be right, but nobody are going to agree with you if you dont give any explanaition.
@@sucroseboy4940 Man you salty. Sucrose is sweet.
so claustrophobic can't hardly watch it let alone think about doing it.....Huge Respect....
I bet women would make good saturation divers due to their endurance and that they have more protective fat to keep them warm. The downside is they aren’t as strong as men.
That's the closest you can get to go working on an asteroid....
That’s so cool it’s just open at the bottom and they can jump down into the bottom of the ocean. This looks kinda fun tbh
I wouldnt be able to keep a straight face because of the helium!! Sounds hilarious. Not to mention the sheer insanity of going somewhere humans aren't meant too.
??? I’m 58 years old and would go back to this any day 😍😎🤙🙏🇺🇸🏴☠️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is amazing footage. I recently qualified as a surface supplied diver 2 months ago and have been working on a fish farm, loving it so far! Hope to be in sat in 5 years or so!
Thanks ☺️! I wish you all the best buddy!
It's been 2 months , any update??
Have fun with the commercial diving course! You can find lots of great contacts for sat there :)
Classic sat team... One guy that's always cracking jokes, singing and probably screwing with his mates the whole time, the young, serious guy (Gucci diver :). and the quiet but totally solid guy😁
I used to work for titan salvage, one of my mates Dave Evans was a sat diver, I was a pt1 and a coded welder BS4872, evans was pt2 and ASME9 , he was know as the richest diver on the team! Like most of us these guys have a great sense of humour
I wanted to get into commercial diving at 30. Visited a couple of schools. They said my age is the retirement age for a commercial diver. I changed my mind. Knowing what I do now, I’m glad I did. And I thought land based oil field and tower communications construction was dangerous
Bro do those bald guys look younger than 30??? 😂
I was a sat diver for twenty years. Retired from the water at 45 and went dive supervising. Plenty still dive into their fifties. 30 is nothing yer still a baby.
That’s the best age, your mature by then.
The schools were talking rubbish
I'm actually planning to be commercial diver at 30. I think having some experience working in oil and gas industry for awhile now and I am definitely more vigilant on following procedures for the most safety factor I could get on my job. I wouldn't say I was like this back when I was a freshie, I was pretty immature and oblivious I would say
Thanks for sharing !!!
Bellissimo video, ho appena scoperto l'esistenza di questo lavoro e poter sentire degli italiani è stato bello.
Grazie per il bellissimo contenuto
Fantastic, thanks for sharing mate! 🤘🏼
This looks like a really fun job
It's a space ship.... amaizing!!!!

Thank you for this. Amazing insight into this great profession.
was looking for a vid that showed this content. Thx very much.
old guy with the grey hair is a blast at the bar lol.
Incredible video !
Cant even believe the mental & physical strength of these men!
Thank you very much for posting
Thanks for sharing this. Awesome insight into this kinda work. Absolute professionals - respect.
It's the chipmunks working from divers: Alvin Simon and Theodore 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like this profession
What a big risk job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great 👍🏼
Having a sandwich standing in the trunking...priceless...
how long does it take for the novelty of helium voice to wear off? seems like that'd be a source of endless fun. for the first few hours, anyway
What a job great 💕💕💕
E bello rivedere i miei colleghi al lavoro. Saluti a Serviziati a Geusa e Mauricio. Siete grandi.
Si riconoscono bene le loro voci! 😅 La prossima volte li dirò che @Mare Mosso li saluta ;-)
Nice , I like this
Wish our water was as clear as that
this is a real astronautas the spaceman.
I want to see more! Please upload
Rest room breaks, how? Great video Thanks!
¡ BELLISSIMO !
Imagens de tirar o fôlego 😅
I am currently in school for commercial diving. Go be a tender for awhile then make my way to France for Sat school, or if Scotland sat school reopens I'll go there! In my first month studying physics and medicine
Charles 😁 Good to see you are doing well buddy
Hey David! Thanks, buddy! :-D
Thanks - the Netflix show ' Last Breath ' sparked an interest in 'sat' diving . I'm an MD so the physiology/physics & medical aspects I find fascinating . Diving medicine is almost non-existent in the undergraduate curriculum beyond decompression sickness/bends/Caisson disease. I noticed that the umbilicals looked patched up with duct tape in places - presumably because they uncoil - is that normal I wonder ?
We use the tape to tide up the sacrifical cables used to connect the helmet (comms, light and camera cables) in the end of the umbilical. Also is possible to see using it to add something to change the buoyancy of the umbilical or only to have some marks to know the length of umbilical already deployed outside the bell (we use red and black tapes sign the length each 5 meters).
@@charlesmoura226 Ta for the info.
That’s SO much equipment
At first, i thought the video was sped up. Those are their actual voices??
At first i ought their voice were digitally modified or something. But i realized it were helium+oxigen environment when i heard someone talking from radio.
I’m a female and planning to start scuba diving to get a taste and then wish to move on to commercial diving and ultimately saturation diving. I know not many females do this as I can hardly find anything online but I know there are some out there and really hope to be able to join you all one day (most likely will be in the North Sea). Great video, I love everything about it!
Thanks! I wish you the best and hope to have you as my buddy somewhere in the world :-D
I think it’s the 28 days under pressure before hand lol imagine 4 females in that small space for 28 days 😅
@@tylermckeage5942 what would happen during the 28 days? How do you think female astronauts survive? There are so many other instances women have to be in solitary confinement for extended periods of time and I haven’t noticed them being any different than usual.
@sian4713
Ignore him. Hes either a 15 year old child or one of those adult men where they have going for them is a set of danglies. Guys like that are frightened by capable women and gotta talk sh!t to make themselves feel better.
Theres female sat divers out there. Its rare, but they exist. Know youre going to have to be four times as good for half the respect. Men can be real pigs. But be good at what you do. Id hope sat divers are professional enough that they will respect your work and not care your gender. But Idk.
-a chick in an extremely male dominated industry.
dude this is my dream job im on my way to getting in i just need my hours for the course
muito obrigado pelo vídeo.
aprendi bastante
Obrigado pelo teu comentário. Fico feliz que o meu vídeo tenha sido útil para ti ;-)
Quite an archaic bell...
None of my working dives ever had that nice of water.
The one job Mike Rowe said "hell no" to.
I'm sorry, I'd have a hard time not laughing the whole time I'm on the job.
Wonder if it feels weird or anything other than just voices.
So weird, and sad, fatal decompression could happen so easily by simply not properly closing any particular door/latch and without anyone knowing it happened. Def horrific. They're inside living normally and then poof they're basically exploded instantly.
Yeah it's happened...but at least it would be fast..no time to think about it and freak out.
lol, I forgot about the Helium voice problem. I'd have a really hard time; I've got trouble hearing high pitched sounds. So, I'd be incredibly frustrating to talk to.
Thank you so much for producing an absolutely outstanding video without any of that disgusting sick idiotic background noise pollution that owners of these channels call, music. It ain’t. It’s completely annoying and it is not needed whatsoever. People watch these videos to see what is going on, and to listen to the men talking & the sound of the waves / the vessel / and the compartments they are in. THANK YOU 🙏 SO MUCH !!!!
why they sound like Alvin and the chipmunks though
@@d_clarence6174 That would be the helium in their Heliox mix!! Heliox is part helium part oxygen!
@@CaptJack-dx8vq Thanks captain!
@@d_clarence6174 it’s bc their balls are squeezed so hard from the water pressure
Its insane you can just open that bell up under that far and water dont just rush in.
This would only occur if the bell itself were to tilt, their air pressure inside is what keeps the water out
That's a good summary of the various stages of a bell run. Sounds like you are speaking Portuguese? So must be Brazil yes? I was there on Subsea 7 mayo in 1999.
They're Italian
They're like full grown white smurfs with their voices so high due to the chemical in their pods🤣🤣
Es el helio lo que produce hablar como el pato Donald
I've had a different idea ,the bell is a cramped space!
Love the elevator music 👍good luck 🍀
Thanks! Without music diving is so boring 😅
Great vid, tks for posting. How does the baillout works? You remove your helmet and breath from a regulator like when having a failure in a full face mask?
Hello! The bailout is connected to the helmet through a Kirby Morgan Side block. If we go out of main gas from the umbilical we only need to open the emergency valve on the side block. ;)
What IS Blowing Down, ans does the Bell man sometime Dive, how long Can bé the shift under water max
What sort of money would you make a year for this.
Andiamo andiamo weon oh, andiamo.
Saludos pa los compas del Sat
This is so cool to watch. Are they wearing dry suits?
Thanks! No.. we dress a hot water suites
1msw= 1 meter seawater = .1 bar pressure.
What do these guys do for drinking water when bottom time is 6 hours?
The guy singing in helium voice was pretty amusing.
It was really hard to understand them, even to what language is was (Italian?).
So if youre a sat diver and used to hearing helium voice for so long, when you finally enter normal atmosphere and gas, do normal voices sound really weird for a little bit?
You think they would.make the bell bigger
When you're trained as a saturation diver are you also trained as an engineer, or do you receive briefs once on the ship about what your task is and exactly what to do?
We receive a brief before each dive and we must to follow the task plan for the job. Also we follow instructions from the supervisor that still on surface in the diving control, some times with the Client Rep and engineer too.
Is it just me or does the water at the hatch look weird and soupy? Pressure is wild!
Didn't know the lolipop guild was this rad
have you guys ever been called underwater astronauts lol? The suits really remind me of it
Yeah... Maybe we can say "aquanauts" ☺️
Hey is that Woody from Dive Talk?
Can someone please explain the helium aspect of this video ? Are they constantly breathing helium ?
Смотрел в детстве фильм "Акванавты" , так вот они какие в жизни.
Hi
I did this in the eighties please I recognise the 17s
But what is the silver hat. Regards
The silver hat is a new helmet from Kirby Morgan with a Reclaim System build from themselves (Kirby Morgan - Diamond). ;-)
It looks to me either a KM 97 Stainless Steel, or a KM 37 SS, but it's hard to see, Kirby Morgan now has several models made in 316 Stainless Steel, the stainless steel helmet, it is not an idea from KM, the idea was copied from Gorski, a company with origin in Poland, now I think it is part of the aqualung group, look for Gorski G3000SS
Ho aperto solo oggi questo video nonostante le profondità e l'essere umano in profondità mi affascina e mi spaventa allo stesso tempo. Ho realizzato dopo qualche min che foste italiani, e non capivo per quale motivo aveste modificato le voci solo dei divers, poi ho letto che respirate elio. Ero solo curioso di una cosa, respirate h24 elio quando si lavora a quelle profondità per tutto quel tempo?
Uomini con le palle quadrate. "Quasi quattro tonnellate perchè ci sono tre picche dentro" Se ho capito bene.
Space is even harder 🤔
How do you go to the toilet on those depths? (; please enlighten me, i am curious to know
Hello! We have a toilet inside the chamber were we can seat and do everything there, more or less as a normal WC :-).
The big difference is that inside the chamber we have the pressure higher than the atmosphere pressure. So, when we need to flush, the assistant of the Life Support Technician open the flush valve outside the chamber and we open the valves (usually 2 for safety reasons) insede there to permit that the pressure go out emptying the WC. At the end all valves must be closed again. Outside the chamber there is a small cylinder to receive everything from the WC under pressure, in this way also if all valves still opened there is just a small volume of gas able to go out. Otherwise should be possible decompress the system accidentally.
Other systems have a "cover" for the WC properly made to isolate it from the chamber when is closed to empty it, to prevent this problem.
Anyway, is better be careful to don't be sucked out through the hole! :-D
@@charlesmoura226 of all the holes to get sucked out, the shitter seems like a pretty bad one haha
Charles forgot to mention the backup plan.... diapers! lol
My buddy said that they get high off the oxygen tank because its mixed its not only oxygen while diving. His wife's first time diving she got real buzzed after and when they were driving home they passed an ambulance and she started screaming that they took her body they had to turn around to go get it lol. He didn't turn around but had to listen to her trip out for a bit. Lolz. I wonder if these guys get buzzed and work while buzzed. Must be scary sometimes your mind can play tricks on you when you're straight I wouldn't want to be all buzzed out down there.
Nitrogen narcosis...they avoid that by using mixed gas
Man this gives ma anxiety as fuck. I hope those dudes get paid well!
You guys obviously don't suffer from claustrophobia. :-) I've been to Italy so many times that I hear you guys speaking (and singing 😂) in Italian, despite the helium voices, but where was this dive located? Thanks for sharing!
That's is true, the claustrophobia is forbidden for us :-). This job was located in Egypt
@@charlesmoura226 is it usually that clear/bright? What depth was it at?
@@piposanchez 110 meters or 350 feet
I wonder when they were designing all these, couldn't they have just scaled it a bit more to allow another 10 or so square feet lol
Shit is expensive as fuck
im 17 and im highschool still but after i get out i wanna become a sat diver it looks very cool and very interesting any tips on how to get in?
Start looking at diving schools and check the requirements.
pretty cool video, few questions, what was the task at hand ? and how deep is that approx in feet.. i tried to do the math to convert 78msw to feet but I'm not that smart !
Thanks! :-)
108 meters is 358ft. If you multiply the size in meters per 3.3 will found more or less the correspondent in feet. :-)
We had a differents tasks in the water but the main one was spool installation, connecting a pipiline.
@@charlesmoura226 Tell the truth!... the real task was the retrieval of the sunglasses the boat captain dropped the previous day! ;) .. and to have a free sandwich :D
Can't they just make the bell a little bit bigger?
Nice footage, which GoPro u used to record the video? Clearly it can withstand hyperbaric pressure
GoPro hero 5. The pressure is not a problem for the camera, because we bring it open in the hyperbaric chamber to allow the pressure going in and we just close the camera to go in the water. In that way the pressure outside the camera is just a little bit higher than inside :-)
the barons, the Lords, the animals that drive ferraris, fly on private jets, that own entire city blocks always find suckers to do the hard / dangerous /risky jobs. That's why I try to do the least possible
How do they open the hatch before getting in the water? Keep it level?
Because the pressure inside the bell is the same at the depth outside the hatch. Then we can control the level increasing or decreasing the pressure inside
I wouldent be to bad tell id run it to short burst with my mind mesing with me wen it comes to breathing
My fear besides gear failing or losing contact with your main ship you get stuck there but …. What else is down there? The men that do these types of jobs are something else.
