"Some hull cleaning may involve diving to depths that exceed normal diving depths" nope! the biggest ships have a draft of maybe 30 meters, or about 100 feet. That's certainly not shallow, but it's also *definitely* not the realm of saturation divers
on normal air at 100ft you can only dive for 20 minutes without having to decompress, then wait ages before diving again. 41 Minutes at only 50ft
It seems automated equipment could clean the lower portions of any ship without intervention...
or a ship would rise higher out of the water without a load on board.
I was wondering if they were talking about oil platforms?
Its not clear what the deeper diving is needed for...
@@michaelmccarthy4615 to stay longer underwater and finish the job.
I did that for a few years. It was a great gig. I got to travel everywhere the cruise ships go, and finish every work day at an all you can eat buffet. We used water powered machines, that ran off of the ship's firepumps. Much simpler than the big hydraulic carts they're using here.
My favorite spot to work was cozumel. The water was so clear, you felt like an astronaut or something.
how do u get that jobs so like heaven to me
@@Martin_chatwin it really was a pretty good gig. There are a few schools around the country that will train you to be a commercial diver. Getting into a niche like cruise ships however, was a little bit of dumb luck I think.
@@jasonarcher7268 god bless your job and life, man. Btw, except not being paid; what is the risk you scared the most?
@@muhammadashhabulyamiin thank you, and God bless. I didn't like diving around sharks. It didn't happen often, but it was scary.
@@jasonarcher7268 how’s the pay? I imagine it being pretty good.
"most ships are dry docked for their annual maintenance" ummm what? most ships are dry docked every 5-20 years, not annually
Some ships never dry dock
Nah nah guys... it’s annual.... I heard it somewhere. Lol
5-10 years
Under SOLAS regulations ( and certainly UK regulations) a cargo ship has to be dry docked twice in a 5-year period, with a minimum of 2 years between checks and a maximum of 3 years. So effectively every 2.5 years.
With fuel prices now though they’ll have them out every other day 😉
I wish I had a fan the size of one of those propellers right now. This heats intense. Lucky ship! Get to travel those lovely freezing cold waters.
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ 🤡
Why are you geiering at an object touch grass
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ نعوذ بالله من الشرك ،
المسيح هو عبد لله وحده وليس ربا
we have air cleaner :)
😂
It's actually once every 5 years a vessel is dry docked plus has other scheduled maintenance procedures in that time frame too
I was about to say, once a year seems very frequent for dry-docking
@@asianinvasian9022 So could it be that its once a year if you can't use divers to clean the hull and if you can, then its only once every 5 years its required? Sorry if noob question.
@@death_parade If I were to guess it is a mistake. There is no way they could afford to fully drydock a ship once a year it just isn't financially feasible
@@asianinvasian9022 Oh OK. Thanks. BTW, what is it that drives the up the cost of dry docking the ship. Is it because dry docks are few and thus hiring one is expensive simply due to supply-demand? Or is it because the process of transferring the ship to a dry dock is inherently expensive in and of itself> Thanks in advance.
@@death_parade lost potential income. Every week a ship isn't at sea is a week that ship is not making money. Combine that with costs of the work done to the ship and it's quite a bit. It is worth noting, do not take what I say as gospel as I'm not in the business. I'm just using what little I do know and trying to make logical guesses off of that info
Diving in the ocean is EASY, but my job as a 'sewer' diver is where the REAL challenge is at! I mean, I have dived in pipes that were tiny and big. Also, pipe systems that span MILES and are literally like mazes under your feet that you never knew existed, especially in cities like NY, Chicago and Phoenix! I have dived them all and get called to travel the country to do so! Not to mention, the pay! I get paid amazingly well because nobody else will do it and I love it🤣
I find all kinds of treasures and get to keep whatever I pull out. Last year, I found a wedding ring worth 19k, a necklace worth 12k and a prostetic eyeball worth 7k! I do attempt to find the owners of items that are obviously sentimental, but they usually never come forward. Which leaves me to sell them, make a profit and continue adding toys like the helicopter I just bought, so thank you for flushing!
my friend some shitty jobs in America 🤣
That’s really cool! Stay safe.
How much do you get paid? Give an estimate if you’d like.
I have done some cave diving back in the day. Super claustrophobic. Just reading your post gave me a bit of an adrenaline rush. You get paid for your skills for sure but we all know the big bucks are because almost no one has the nerves to do what you do.
How many Xanax you take before going in the tube?
It’s so incredible we think our lives are the center of it all when there is really so much more that we never see or hear of!!Thank You so much for making this video!!
Sociopaths think their lives are center of it all. So are you a sociopath cause that’s something one would say
So true 👍
📢 Alert A Sunday Law will be The Mark Of The Beast when enforce by law, Those that keep Gods seventh day sabbath will be prohibited from buying and sell and persecuted. Jesus is coming are you ready?
huh>? never thought nor assuumed my life was the center of it all what lmao, thats spooky thinking
Sim, o que vocês falou é uma grande verdade
These divers are incredibly skilled and are heroes to be willing to do such precarious work; they deserve to be generously compensated.
They are well paid.
@@Noneofyourbiz123how much?
@@wazup3333 look it up
They get close to 1k and hour
@@the6ix665 one comment below a guy who did this job says the pay sucks
I have Meglaphobia. Ships freak me out when I get close. I could never do what these guys do
wtf why hahaha its just a ship, its wont bite xd
Imagine swimming in a big See or Ocean and under you everything is gettin black an a really big submarine is pop up under you ^^
@@GreifeLuft just stand on it, as i said it wont bite
r u scared of buildings lol
Dude it is really weird. I have the same phobia too... But it is only with ships. I can't imagine falling in the sea near big ships it makes me extremely uncomfortable
I knew a saturation driver long ago. He got paid extremely well. He always bought his vehicles cash. He planned on retiring at 40 years of age with a substantial amount to live on for the rest of his life.
“If the tide suddenly recedes and the ship slumbs”
Yeah, imagine if the water level should magically drop 10 meter in an instant and the supertanker get grounded. Happens a lot.
Tides are so unpredictable!
you'd be surprised
Yes, what a stupid suggestion about the tide. All of those guys know the tide tables and a lot more before they do what they do.
I don't like swimming next to massive objects in the water such as ships. It's an irrational fear but it's a real one
Never had to, but same.
I wouldn't call it irrational, there's a fair amount of danger involved in swimming near such a large ship, especially if it is moving.
Same
It would be scary
That intro with the navy ship made me smile.
It remembered me of an event in St Johns, Newfoundland years ago.
We sailed in with our offshore working vessel for some repairs that needed a big crane and a some divers.
The divers came fully suited up in drysuits and dive helmets.
They said the water quality, after many decades of the harbour being the endpoint of sewer pipes, wasn't good.
When finished they rinsed down for a long time before getting out of their diving gear.
The next portcall there were some Dutch and Belgium navy ships inside who were in the area for an exercise.
On the aft of the dutch navy ships divers, navy crew, were getting ready for a propellor inspection. Before getting in there thin wetsuit they were getting buckets of water out of the harbour which they poured over themselves....
(100mtr besides them was a big sign on the quay saying not the swim or fish in the harbour because of the water "quality")
I remember my girlfriend and I going on a raft down the Rio Grande in Jamaica, our raft tipped over, we laughed it off but it was kind of scary. We both swallowed a ton of water, at the very end of the river was a huge sign on a bridge warning people not to swim or drink the water because of sewage.😳
@@oxyfee6486
WOW. Every year we take a family vacation to the beach and it seems like you always hear about someone getting some kind of flesh eating bacteria somewhere in the U.S., be it from either a freshwater and/or a saltwater source, and it always scares me for my children because you just never ever know. Fortunately, as well as unfortunately, there are all kinds of unknown harmless and harmful bacteria and sea life that we “land folk” have yet to discover and sometimes when stuff is discovered it’s a little too late for some poor person and/or people. I think I’ve read where the infected water has to enter through your nose in order for the flesh eating bacteria to enter your body but I could be wrong. I mean, who has ever swam anywhere, and I mean a back yard swimming pool, a local creek, a river, a pond or lake, the ocean or whatever, and not gotten a little bit of water up or in their nose??? And I’m sure it doesn’t take much if the bacteria is present!?!?!? I know, for a fact, that I have gotten some amount of water in just about ALL of my orifices, just about, any, and every, time I have ever went swimming anywhere. But I suppose you can’t live a happy life in fear but you can be smart about it I guess. Or as smart as you can be.
@@DFWJon Typical American uneducated paranoia.
@@DFWJon i freaked myself out reading about all the nasty stuff you can get just by swimming in a creek or river, sewage or not. Especially when my migraines start up. I spent a ton of time in the Sacramento River and Mill Creek. In this rural area, I just know the water is used for farming irrigation, which has tons of chemicals, and would always wonder how much was in the swimming areas.
I’m an underwater painter. When these guys are done cleaning I go down there to spray paint the ship.
Haaaaaaa!!
How do you paint underwater? 😯
@@PauIdenino you dont
@@MARINE_DM ??? You do
Ok
Saturation diver must be the closest job to astronaut!
these divers are diving up to 10m. they can stay hours at that depth. I use my 18L for 3 hours at that depth.
Sat diving is typically only done for depths deeper than 300 ‘ down to 1000’ . We recently started diving sat in more shallow depths in the oil field, only to save on long in water decompression times. There’s no surface work being done on saturation. This is a ridiculous video.
is it crazy that this is the line of work that I'm trying to get into? This kind of work fascinates me and I love diving. I hope I don't hate it.
There are a few good dive schools around the country. It's not too hard to get into.
@@jasonarcher7268 yeah I think he has that done already
T
@shellhead did you end up going for it?
I've done this in local marinas for private vessel owners (30' to 70' vessels) and it is the only "job" that I completely enjoyed. The sea life you get to encounter is awe inspiring.
This is the kind of work that AI could/should do for us.
Yes, but then we have no jobs. No jobs means no value to the wealthy. No value means we lack bargaining power to defending our franchise.
@@andyb619 the solution to that is we create jobs, increase education. Quite simple really. The hard part is that the US currently doesn't have a functioning government lmao
@@danylooo if the government and the wealthy don't need us, we will not find that they "function". You can bet those who will benefit from AI (resource owners) will think the government "function" providing they let them have it. I'm no commie and I'm more sympathetic with capitalism, but this will create private governments with the shift in the balance of power between voters and corporate owners.
@@danylooo Create what jobs?
Uhhh... you would never have a diver who's cleaning boat hulls in a dive bell. If they were working on an oil rig, deep diving, yes. But a cargo ship?? No way.
I would think if the tide suddenly recedes it means you are in the path of a tsunami. In which case you are probably moments from having all of your problems solved.
i was looking for this comment or something about tide "suddenly receding" lol
at 1:10 you called the hull of the ship the superstructure, however when talking about seafaring vessels, the superstructure refers only to the parts above the hull, the part that looks like a building on top of the ship
Dangerous but satisfying work .
Can be cold hard Yakka, whilst hand scraping a cargo ships rudder I discovered that the hinge pin on the rudder had broken and was protruding around a metre . The crew had wondered why the ship was sluggish on the helm. Our dive company got the job to do a repair so the ship could get to drydock. After using the pneumatic wire brushes on the hull you would find dozens of pieces of wire in your wetsuit.
Hahah same problem when I cleaning metal with wire wheel go to sit down and your like a pin cushion with the amount of wires sticking out
My Megalohydrothalassophobia is going into overdrive.
People think being a window cleaning takes brass balls but this job would scare me more.... at least being a window cleaner you won't suddenly get attacked by a shark.
Yea, you’ll just fall thousands of feet…..😆
Sharks will be scared off by the exhaust bubbles from the scuba tank
Not to mention the big ass cleaning machine and copper dust spreading everywhere
As someone who's done this professionally, I can tell you it's not scary except maybe your first few dives, and you're only scared of messing up. Pay sucks, but you gotta have a love for the job to be a diver no matter what you do.
Low pay? I would think that the pay would be decent for this type of work.
What are the necessary qualifications? My only concern would be that the company I'm working for would cut corners on the equipment and ask you to do something unsafe.
@@BuceGarI do it I get paid $20/hr, you just need an ADCI card and be good at swimming.
Yes, the technology of underwater drones is really great and helps, in the case of diagnostics and cleaning! Thanks for content! 👍
Escorts. I'm glad I'm hear. My name is Peter, like dolphins or the destroyer escort ship USS Cecil.
These videos are first liked, and then they are seen, calmly.
What he said ☝️
Maybe I am just a wuss,
But how can people just not be terrified of murky depths of the sea. It confounds me.
It’s easy once you do it enough.
you don't really go to the depths of the seas
I for one love diving. Nothing compares to it.
Yup u are
This job looks DOPE, and SCARY at the same time. Like the ones when they clean a ship in shallow water, and the water is nice, and bright blue (3:27), would be a blast. Then you have the ones super deep, where there is dark green water around the ship, everywhere else it pitch black into the abyss (3:31). That's ones thing I hate about oceans is how you get deep enough, and its goes dark, cant see anything, quickly turn from fun, to scary. Ill swim in waters like Fiji and Caribbean when you can basically see the bottom, its crystal clear. But then you have shit like at 3:31, where I would probably have a panic attack. The thought of being in his position, I just keep thinking I would slowly keep sinking into that darkness
Actually blows my mind how weird I am about it, how I go from LOVE to Panic Attack in seconds. 3:27 or 4:08 and I would absolutely LVOE to swim, scuba dive all day, like when you swim amongst the coral, crystal clear water. Then you have 3:31, and I would have a panic attack, would want to get on land as quick as possible
what you are describing as dark deep pitch black abyss is what we call in the industry "perfect vision"'
everything looks blue and visable on film otherwise you wouldn't see it but in reality depending on the ports you won't see your hand if you were to put it infront of your visor. they explain here divers working in scuba which is rarely done anymore as it is very dangerous with a limited amount of oxygen you have.
this video also makes it seem a lot more dangerous than it in reality is. everything is well monitored double triple checked before anything is done. sadly things do still go wrong with almost always it being a humans fault be it up top or down below.
Oily waters?? Oil isn't under the water it floats so it's not a bother when diving only getting in and out of the water. Plus you'd only have that problem outside of the USA since there are heavy fines for putting oil into the water. Plus the job isn't nowhere as bad as you're making it sound!!!
Enjoyed your video and so I gave it a Thumbs Up
oh dont worry, if it gets too oily, america will invade the water surface :D
@@person5476 I'll let them know to go to your house first LMAO
@@oneshotme oh im not in america, besides i have a max of 1cup of oil lol
oil gets under water too
If I was cleaning those propellers I'd take the ignition keys of the ship down with me. I ain't much but I ain't gonna be fish food.
Don't forget to bring them back up or you'll be left floating in the drink come sundown.
I loved diving under ships doing inspections.
I have a fear of being in the water and or near big boats like this. You could not PAY me enough to do this job! LOL
We must never forget that the world revolves around people like these. I want to show my respect.
There is nothing scary at all about it. It’s shallow depths and actually quite interesting.
Ships don't cost multi-billions of dollars, unless they're a nuclear submarine or aircraft carrier. The biggest container and oiler ships cost a few hundred million, depending on how they're equipped and fitted. Similar to large jet aircraft costing around the same.
The tide doesn't "suddenly recede" lol. It takes like 8 hours
Wait um...what are those deep divers cleaning? I missed that entire segment
No one understood that part. What exactly was getting a cleaning so far down ?
these divers that are doing saturation diving are taking a diving bell down to the Titanic and they’re cleaning the hull of the Titanic that’s why it takes 28 days at a time and six divers to fully clean the hull !! While they’re down there they are invited to have diner with Captain Edward J Smith.
They are probably cleaning pipelines.
@@lostinlife647866 lol, you can’t sat dive to the titanic, it’s too deep. We can’t mimic that pressure.
@@ssherrierable I think he was being facetious, but you’re absolutely right 😊
Truly one appreciates the hard tasks of these divers, but we cannot turn the blind eye to these giant corpos polluting the oceans.
$35k-$49K per year? no thanks for that job.
I doubt they're working every day
What is scary is depths, big things made by humans, big sharks and giant octopuses and similar stuff you could imagine.
There' s something about images of submerged machinery that makes me very uneasy.
I do have a lot of respect for all those divers doing this job, but still, it is a risky thing to do. I know the ship owners are trying to save money, but they can use a computer-controlled robot to do this. I am not even talking about any expensive AI robots. Common guys, we are in 21st century. Why is a human life still taken for granted.
Multi-million dollar ships and they can't create surfaces that's resistant to dirt?
Just for this Thinking about human brains just trips me man . One side they do better and on the flip side , they destroy
Yes we do have equipments to prevent growth but that's not much efficient on such larger scale. MGPS or Marine Growth Protection System is used to prevent growth, but that's just to buy some more time, can't prevent growth fully.
Ships do use Anti Foul Paints & Ultrasonic Anti Foul Systems but still Algae, Marine growth is unstoppable and has to be maintained
Were it so easy
The sea has always scared me,im not sure if its the dark immensely large space or the thought that something is swimming under me thinking of takeing a bite
thalassophobia
This mini doc was actually really cool
How much does this job pay?
Yeah, nobody believes you have to saturation dive to clean a ship hull.
That job's about a heartbeat away from automation.
I was gonna say, automation would be the way to go here.Having said that, if they can glue some ceramics on a space shuttle to keep it from burning up, seems to me there should be some sort of coating, shield that could be applied in order to keep hulls free of these biological freeloaders.
I don't think it's common to go into sat on a hull cleaning but. I'm no commercial diver neither though.
They never work alone......divers rules there would require minimum of 2 divers......the most that gets released back into the waters after scrubbing is the critters and algae and some paint and the levels of zinc or copper oxides in the paint would be less than if a person was to throw a scrap of metal in the ocean
Commercial divers often work alone (a 'buddy system' is not required), but they have communication with the supervisor on the surface and if on surface supply an almost unlimited amount of breathing gas - if it is a proper commercial diving operation.
@@evanmurphy2165depends on the job and dangers involved......never work or do a contract for someone that is super easy with putting you in a dangerous position or they have no concerns themselves
Yes, but those environmentalist nutshops never admit to the tiny amounts that amount to almost nothing. They will focus only on the fact that particles are released and then file lawsuits and convince a weak spineless judge to support them.
Wow! Things you wouldn't even think or know about! I know those divers get paid ALOT, but me personally, I'd be so afraid!! What if suddenly another ship comes by & crashes into the ship being cleaned?? The diver would be in a precarious situation then! Glad they are moving to using ROV's instead of using people to clean!
What if fear stops you from Living out rhe purpose God has for you?
Glory to God Miss, Because He is Faithful
When I was young I never worried about that, but being older, yikes!!!!
yup...be afraid to live!!!!
Seems like it would take a hundred divers to scrape that big ass ship!
Thank you for sharing this story.
The only way I can do this job when underwater is If I have the key to the ignition in my pocket
I think you'd hear them starting the engines and have time to boogie out of there.
Saturation diving for cleaning a hull is extreme, what ship in the world draws that much water ? This video only showed a few mins of actual facts and video about the cleaning hulls, the rest was just random facts and video of diving in general. Very light on any real facts about the subject. 👎
I just finished my class 111 diving training and I'm looking forward for this exciting journey.
good job!
Good luck buddy, be safe
What is class 111 diving ?
You’ll have a blast
I still do it for a Living, for sure hard work exp is for sure necessary as well as safety..
Id want the ignition key 🔑 in my pocket
Could never do that job I have submichaniphobia
Great video! Loved watching this over and over again!
'Dark and oily waters'... Divers working in prestine and beautiful warm waters. LOL!
Very well paying job as divers but at the same time very dangerous. Risks does comes with the rewards!
So true, the best money making, (or hell, flat out efficient) jobs scare the shit out of people
Thankfully, most of the fear goes away as you learn more about it and learn to reduce risk
I like how unconcerned they are about how bad for the environment the cleaning is.
That’s algae and barnacle they are cleaning off, the fish love to eat it
all that "bad for the environment stuff' came from... hold on, wait for it.... THE ENVIRONMENT.
@@donmunro144 They briefly stated why in the video. The organisms liberated by the cleaning place a strain on the ecosystem. It also is removing corroded paint and metal and sending that into the water.
@@bubbagasm1 Maybe so....but there's much worse happening that "strains" the ecosystem and that would be mankind.

No.
After I retired commercial repair diving. I looked at all the ships and rigs I maintained and saw where they were and how they were doing now. I was like, I didn’t fix that. And all the pics were of GIGANTIC ships or other vessels and I have severe megalophobia (fear of big things) and didn’t realize the entire time I was under those ships. The entire time I thought it was just pipes bc it was so dark. I was told to find a certain piece of something and never realized what I was next to. Had a small “stroke” from that lol

There is no hazardous materials released, in connection with controlled sinking of maritime vessels!
Anti fouling paint needs to be toxic, keeping the hull smooth and clean.
Torpedos would do a much better job of that.
Divers should always use the buddy system for safety
It's fascinating but those underwater propellers are fiercely triggering my submechanophobia. Not a job for me. 😱

Come to CSL Kochi for dry Dock and repair
I'm gonna need to see your LOTO procedures.
OK, I had to learn more about depths involved. I was under impression saturation was for Deeeeep diving.
Wiki says
Today, most sat diving is conducted between 65 feet and 1,000 feet.
Wow, had no idea!
Thx for teaching me something new today.
Barnacle Bill and Co have got there work cut out!
Great job 👌
Damn, it's a lot more fun than working in an office. Ride along the side of a ship on a large sanding machine? Yes! Shut up and take me for this job, I don't have submechanophobia. I could be work underwater all day.
This is a well worded, well put together, and well thought out video, i subscribed because of this video, I appreciate your informative video and your helping me to learn about how thee problems are taken care of by others.

Super labombastic fantastic skolastic💘
this job seems fun something i would love to do, where do i sign up😂😅
I co-owned and operated a ship hull and prop cleaning company in the 1990s with a former Navy SEAL. We’d both been to USN diving schools The work was difficult and had some risks, it’s a young man’s job for sure and oh, not a glamorous career.
What antifouling are they using. Lead based? Ships on the move attract very little crusstations. Having out is better and much quicker.
They skip The Dry Dock, fantastic !
I'm case the tide suddenly recedes.... Its almost like we've been able to predict them accurately for centuries if not millenia.
I'm loving your content...Thank you!
Not scary at all; but very fun indeed
Nothing I hate more than when the tide suddenly goes out unexpectedly and crushes you under a ship. I’m just longing for the day they work out a way to predict the tides.
why do we all find these types of videos so interesting lol
A tide cannot "suddenly recede", tides work like a clock... The guy working there would know what time to leave.
its cheaper than drydocking the ship but dangerouse.
So that's what we look like to ants.
