Offshore Diver (Mixed Gas) Day at Work

- This is a mixed gas dive breathing helix, collecting debris from the seabed that had to be removed.
This is the most simple and easiest dive we did on the entire job, I basically just tender the umbilical from the bell, and diver 1 picks up some scrap steel pipes from the floor and puts it in a basket for the crane to lift back to surface... So no fancy clamp installations, or repair work and inspection on this dive. Hopefully it's still relatively interesting to see how the mixed gas works.. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
It's great to see these again.
Just incredible!
You are certainly not claustrophobic .
Look at those fish, awesome .
Didn't know that about colors underwater. Red.
Smiling right now at the work you do Peter. Good for you.
It's the light spectrum, it's the first to disappear when the light passes through water
Wow Peter....I'm really impressed......
Thank you for showing this. Absolutely amazing.
Thanks!
Wow! I'm just an offshore sport scuba Joe, 38 metres, Nitrox, at most! I knew the commercial guys use heliox but didn't know they switched to it at depth. I thought it was a free flow! Massive respect 👍
the surface mixed gas, is not done very much these days... it's a bit dangerous to be honest. It only goes on in places like Dubai now and then because it's easier than launching a Saturation team, it was a little bit of debris removal, too deep for regular air diving, but not enough work for the expanse of a Saturation set up
Fragrance nice work & vedios ,
Wow!! Your job is so interesting! Awesome video
thank you
Very very interesting! Total opposite of the fragrant sophistication, and combination is so cool
Cheers!
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. I'm reasonably certain we won't be seeing this content on any other fragrance reviewer's channel!
lol, cheers!
Fascinating work brother.
Cheers Oscar!
Oscar Perez what I was gonna say 🤗
It's good that they allow you to film during these dives so that we get to see these very interesting videos. What debris did you picked up from the sea bed? I'd say this is a workplace where you really don't want to piss off your coworkers especially when they can be assigned to hold your umbilical cord anytime 😱 😉.
It was just some steel pipe work, there were a few massive tires down there too that had to be moved later on, we all look out for each other out there! we all get on!
working on oil rigs is very dangerous everyone looks out for everyone no matter who they like or dont like.

I love scuba and snorkeling related stuff this is so cool thanks for posting I just made a super big snorkel out of tubes and than added a home made regulator it works grate this reminds me of it
Brings back memories.
Eres un muy buen trabajador 🍻💪💪🇦🇷 los mejores deseos
crickey Peter what an exciting job you have mate ! good onya
Cheers buddy!
You're like the brother that comes back home from abroad, bearing gifts ^___________^
Cheers!
One word- RESPECT
cheers!
I'm not sure if you do this in videos, but it would be awesome if you could speak about flavor matching.
I was really interested in how to create mens fragrances starting with bases such as cedarwood, tobacco, black pepper, oakmoss, etc.
What goes well with cedarwood?
Highlighting woody notes with aquatic top notes. Making woody notes smokey, Making woody notes grassy.
If you do have any tutorials or are willing to make future tutorials on this topic of flavor pairing this would be amazing!
Love your work.
Cheers! - Lots of things go with cedar wood.. the notes you listed are all fine with cedar, it even works fine with aquatic notes or grassy notes like you say.. not all that much it won't go with!
FragranceView Thankyou for the response! I look forward to your future videos 👌
Make sure you protect yourself from the sharks with Tuscan Leather!
Yes!!
Cuz its amazing
What job is this, looks like so much fun! I was wondering if you could also explain a good formula for making a homemade molecule 01. Great video by the way!
Offshore Diver - to make Molecule 01 you can buy a synthetic called "Sylvamber"
from a company called PellWall UK - it's a powerful version of Iso E Super, and combine with perfumers alcohol, you can also buy from the same place.. 20% synthetic 80% alcohol should be plenty strong enough
FragranceView Thanks for the quick reply, i was also wondering about using everclear instead of perfumers alcohol? People on TH-cam say that molecule 01 is good for layering and sometimes it helps to boost the hours a fragrance will last on your skin, and I was wondering if sylvamber would have the same or greater effect?
Molecule 01 is created by one synthetic called Iso Gamma Super, you can't buy it... the alternative is Iso E Super which is a weaker version, not 100% exactly the same, but basically the same deal..
Sylvamber is a stronger version of even Iso Gamma Super, so it's stronger than the original Molecule 01, and smells the same..
This video is very cool! Now I have a question for the Q&A, how did you become a professional diver ?
Cheers!
I love the hyperbaric chamber..
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
😳 That’s badass
Cheers, we usually do some interesting work... not much to see in this dive, we installed some big clamps later for conductor guides
Would be so awesome to hear the intercom
Awesome!
Cheers!
I know this videos a little old but im about to separate from the navy and go to DIT in Washington to become an offshore commercial diver. I plan on doing it for about 6 years so i dont totally mess my body up. Got any tips? And is the money worth it? Thank you
it's very very different in the USA... they do it differently to the rest of the world, and the pay is different.. I am not totally sure, I only ever worked with two American divers, who left the US to work overseas in Thailand / Vietnam. If I was American, I wouldn't have done this career there personally from what I've heard.
Hello sir I want ask you some questions
Why do you use heliox while you are diving ?
How to equalize our ear while we are using kirby morgan dive helmet ?
the heliox is because of the depth, we were bellow 50 meteres which is the limit for air. There is a nose block on the inside of the helmet, you push your nose against it and blow out to equalise the ears.
I love commercial diving and going underwater for welding and all that stuff, that's why I'm watching, it's all so amazing...however I couldn't help but love the background music so I must ask, what is this song called?😂
ProleteR
So I went through all of ProleteR's music and couldn't find this song? Is there a specific name of the song? Thankyou!!
I have no idea, I honestly can't remember.. I made the video quite a few years ago
Try Shazam
is all that heliox/trimix being wasted or there's a reclaiming system?
Oy! fast-forward kinda scared me. You always teach me something new. Is that the same helmet or do they differ at different depths? 🐒
Peace n Love from me!
Same one for any depth!
I’m wondering what your long term effects are from all the diving, chemicals, forced air, pressure, decompression.
probably not great long term, I did it for 6 years offshore and retired from it. Some people that do it all their working life can get issues with joints and bone problems.
How do you go for a smoke break whilst your working?
How do you equalize your ears in the Kirby Morgan(?) helmet?
There's a nose block on the inside, you push a small piece on the outside in to press it against your nose so you can blow.
Why do you need to go into the decompression chamber after you decompressed coming up. Why do you go back to the greater pressure after returning to the surface?
going up we stop to switch back from breathing mixed gas, back to regular air, it's not actually for full deco - the depth we worked at and the time spent down there still means we need a lot of deco.. it was like 2 hours in the chamber.
Hello, I am considering this line of work and would like to ask you a few questions if you’ve the time. I have read through the comments and there are a few things I’d like to know:
I am considering the Offshore diving package at the Professional Diving Academy in Scotland, though it is expensive. Do you know any alternatives or is it the best place to go to? (I am form mainland Europe)
You mentioned the rates have been decreasing, however, any search I have made online mentions roughly 100£ to 1500£ depending on how specialised the job is. Could you give an account on the rates practised by the industry at the moment, if it is not too indiscrete?
Lastly, what specialisation would you recommend as the most economically viable?
Thank you for your time.
If you email me at: fragranceview@yahoo.co.uk
I will give you as much detail and help as I can, but I don't want to write about money on public chat
@@FragranceView I assumed as much, I will send you an email, thank you.
My dream job doing my Padi pool dive rn
What is your average dive time and are most of your jobs super complex or mainly fixing pipework etc? Reason I ask, is im interested in the field and love diving...
usually between 30 minutes to an hour... depends really only the depth. If you're shallow it might be a 3 hour dive. A lot is general construction, installing new clamps / pipelines, some inspection work..
@@FragranceView wow that is very insightful... is their work outside of the mining industry or you gotta sell your soul to those companies?
Also curious how long the training is to become a deepsea diver/worker...
Thanks mate!
you work self-employed contract based.. sometimes the work can be a week or two, sometimes two months. The training for the basic start is 3 months, then you've got additional courses to take after that.. like offshore survival training, first aid at work, inspection courses etc
Hi Mate, got a question for ya.. you gotta know the right person to get into this type of work right?
I've been doing replacement/repairs and maintenance on gas pipelines on the surface, in the city and on mine sites for the last 15 years, did you get into it by knowing someone or did you come from a similar background?
I was always curious about the line of work and was wondering if the 40k course in Tasmania would gurantee me work..
I knew the right person that helped me. Just doing the course doesn’t guarantee you work, many that do it don’t find work and go back to their old jobs
@@FragranceView Okay, thanks for the reply. :)
Bear grylls is a commercial diver?
What is that hose that is bubbling all the time?
pneumo, it keeps a check on depth level.
@@FragranceView Is that related to the use of free-flow diving helmets? I have only ever dived with demand units. Is the pneumo line adjusted by the diver to regulate the pressure of the supplied gas in accordance with depth level?
It's not a free flow helmet, air only comes out on demand, unless you flush the hat from the front.. then a free flow comes in, but that's only when needed. The Pnuemo is completely separate and controlled by the supervisor on the panel on deck. The supervisor regulates everything from surface, the diver has very limited control... there is a valve on the front of the helmet you can twist in and out, which increases or decreases the ease of flow of air. So it can be harder to suck it out or easier.
@@FragranceView So your life is in his/her hands.
Yes, pretty much.. there is a bail out bottle on your back that will last a little while, if the air is cut off.. or the umbilical somehow breaks, say if the ship loses position and I am caught somewhere.. they would have to get back to me and send a rescue diver to get me before my air ran out.
What luts are you using in this video?
it's US Navy Tables, without looking in my log book, I don't know.. it wasn't a standard air dive, it was mixed gas heliox.
You're job is actually my worst nightmare, I have thalassophobia (I don't know how to spell it off the top of my head so I had to make sure that was correct by Google lol) and what that means is that I have a phobia of the ocean I can't even get my feet in the ocean without fear, I prefer to observe the ocean from afar lol
oh dear!!! the ocean is beautiful!
Do you find you've lost weight after returning from your diving trips ?
Maybe a little bit, I pretty much stay the same weight all the time though.. it never really changes, but working 12 hours in the heat, I guess you naturally lose a little
Hi!
I just finished middle school. is it worth starting to dive? I heard there aren't many job opportunities.
how can i become a commercial diver?
It's a dying career with few jobs, and lower and lower pay rates.. I wouldn't recommend it personally. You can probably get work in Saudi Arabia, but the pay is low.. you could earn more working in a factory at home. They tend to keep you 3 months at a time on the ship, so it's long and sweaty work, 12 hour shifts. I worked in Dubai for 2 years lastly, the pay rate had halved since I first started offshore. It depends who you know, if you have connections you'll find it easier to get work, if you don't... very difficult.
Great video bud. Where are you from?
UK
@@FragranceView ahh same mate I have a relative with a commercial diving business. Iv Always wanted to do it even if it’s just a couple of months out of the year. The whole job just fascinates me. I’m padi certified and I’m just absolutely in love with this trade. It takes some balls and skills mate I have mad respect for you guys.
I am at sea dog commercial diving school whenever I go for a dive I am not able to equalise properly so can u tell how should I equalise because I am only able to equalise for 1 ear
Ask your instructors, maybe you just have blocked ears and they need cleaning. Whatever you do, do not continue going down if you can't equalise your ears, it will cause a lot of pain and damage.
@@FragranceView ok
@@Dhruv-su5kk you might want to keep practicing on the surface. I found if I work the muscles it gets very easy to do it on my descents. Like to the point of not even having to hold my nose. Best of luck, Joe
Hi, I'm from Brazil and I recently graduated as a professional diver. Is it a difficult area to find a job in your country?
Yes, very difficult.. I can give you some contacts for offshore work in Saudi Arabia if you've got Offshore Survival training
@@FragranceView Interesting, thanks! Do you have Instagram or Whatsapp?
@@willianmachado3291 You can look up "FragranceView" on Instagram
Why straight to decompression chamber? You decompressed on the way up.
this is a mixed gas dive, breathing heliox at depth over 50 meters.. it's much more complicated decompression. We spend 2 and a half hours in the deco chamber after this dive.. The stops on the way up, are to flush from heliox back to 02, but the main deco is the in the chamber.
@@FragranceView interesting. Thanks.
I don't mean to intrude
But I am thinking of studying commercial diving. Can you explain to me the expected amount each month or the monthly salary?
There is no expected amount each month, you might work one month of the year, and not be able to find a job for the other 11 months.. you have to be lucky to get a regular rotation on a ship. The pay can vary drastically depending which country you're working in..
V danger job
Wow. That's all.
:)
How much schooling did you do to be able to do this?
3 months of dive school, few weeks of inspection school, few days offshore survival training, few days first aid training
Wow I don't know how you do it. They must pay you a shitload. I'm too claustrophobic. I was cringing through most of the video. Great stuff man.
I wish they did.... lol. Cheers!
OMG, so was I !!! Terrifying! I could never do it. Really do admire what he does, though, my God.
Song name?
ProleteR
Do you still dive now ??
no, retired 3 years ago
@@FragranceView can you recommend pursuing a career in the industry or not really ? 🤔
as its some thing I’ve been looking at for a while but have never acted up on.
I’m also 30 years old as well.
?? 🤔
I wouldn't suggest it no.. most divers that go through dive school I would say 85% fail to get long term work, and end up getting a regular job.. very difficult to get into it. The divers that do make it, typically would prefer to do something else by the time they are doing it.. if you have a family, or want a family, or have a partner.. it's a bad career for that.
@@FragranceView ya say 85% of people struggle to get long term work is that mostly down to the availability of work ?
Also ya sayin “by the time people get into the diving they’d rather be doing some thing else”
is that because ya have to work as a tender first or jus because of the time away from home aspect etc or ??
This will be my job
good luck
imy superhero
OMG ... LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. BUT I COULDN'T DO YOUR JOB.. I AM CLAUSTROPHOBIC 😭😅😂
Haha!!
Mixed gas? What’s the purpose and why
the why and purpose is because air becomes toxic beyond a certain depth, so in order to diver deeper for longer we switch to heliox, because helium is not toxic at depth
Mi ante esto fue buzo
I would NEVER do Jobs like that !!!!!! I make very good money from home. From my room. Around $2000 daily...at the moment. But I do not like to work. I am an Investor
I love my Job Commercial Diving or nothing 🫡⚓️
