A friend in my hunting club is a Sat.diver&he makes over a qtr.million a year.

My dad did this back in the seventies. He worked off of Stevanga in Sweden. His team of four would actually stay at the bottom in the bell and compartment. They did two week shifts. One day my brother, sister and I found a cassette tape marked “Sea Floor” so we threw it in the cassette deck. We then proceeded to listen to the greatest tape ever recorded, and laughed until we were peeing ourselves. To pass the time, these four brave souls would record their farts into a microphone attached to a small Waltham tape recorder. That tape was over an hour long. Brilliant to a ten year old.

Hardworking man that make the world a better and more convenient place. Never to be heard from again. These are the people we need to read about in history books.

I was on a rescue/salvage ship that had a few sat divers on it but we never had to deploy them to that depth. I think two of them had qualified as sat divers but were no longer allowed to dive that deep because diving that deep to often screws up your bones. This chief told us that the repeated compression and decompression of your skeleton because of the pressure ended up giving you a condition like osteopetrosis. So the navy limited the number of times a diver was allowed to do it. Most of our divers worked with the closed helmets like the sat divers used, but they normally didnt go anywhere near that deep. I think the deepest they went was around 50 feet. A ship had sunk in the entrance to a harbor in Western Samoa and they rigged it with explosives and bounced it off the bottom a couple times until it fell off a shelf and sank into deeper water so that other ships wouldnt hit it when they came in the harbor. My shipmates and I watched/heard it from a bar at the end of the pier. Raising our beers everytime an explosion went off lol. Fun times

They are a different breed. Hats off to them.

To anyone who is wondering. Their is a limited number of divers you can do, those all depend on your age physical strength and genetics. It honestly doesn’t matter how many dives you can do when most divers at the end of the shit walk a way with just about 300k. Side note the mixed gases are not suppose to harm you... don’t forget that cigarette where thought not to harm you either. As for what’s in the mixed gas all I can remember is helium and I believe argon, don’t quote me though.

I trained at the Coastal School of Deep Sea Diving in 1978. Had no topside trade so I joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and became an Underwater Recovery Diver looking for a recovering dead bodies. Over 4o years later I am still an active diver!

I graduated from DIT in April 2004 class of September 2003. Jason Anderson was one of my instructors. Jason was awesome and exactly the type of guy you will meet when you get out into the real world. DIT is definitely known as the “shit” as far as schools go. I wanted to be a Salty deep sea diver since I was a little kid and DIT will give you a good understanding of what you need to know. Once you get offshore is a whole new level.

I wish someone when I was younger pointed out this job and I figured out my path to do it. It's wild.

Absolutely amazing how tough these guys are. Nothing but respect to these guys pushing their bodies like this. Wow.

No wonder these guys get paid so much. You really gotta know what you’re doing and stay level-headed no matter what.

Wow just wow. As an ex-diver many years ago I'm totally blown away by what this guy is saying. He must have iron balls to be that brave. Something goes wrong down there and your chances of survival would be very Slim. Lion an absolute lion

“You’re looking for something you can’t see until you run into it.” That thought, while deep underwater, is terrifying.

In the meantime, me sit on the couch with my cat: “Damn the remote is fucking over there again”

not for the claustrophobic

Mental toughness is definitely the key in this job

Dude f*cking loves his job. True passion right there... Makes you wonder.

Mad respect, you guys deserve every penny of that money. I'll keep my boring job on shore gentlemen. Stay safe and alert out there.

I'm impressed with the guys who communicate with the sat divers on the radio. I work with radio in my job and some people are frigging tough to decipher. Would hate to do it with someone who's been breathing helium for three weeks.

The radio has a helium descrambler that adds bass to their voices.

Thank you guys for doing this so we have utilities! That’s a lot of commitment!

The definition of mad lads. Absolute respect for you guys.

Diving is so awesome. It is like another world underwater ! In some situations you can even hear your heart beat it’s so soothing

my brother just graduated in june 17 from this school. the graduation ceremony was really nice the campus was awesome. d.i.t. is something to be proud of. looking forward to more videos

after 5 years of doing this job, you could retire early. I knew a guy from school who went to do this. After coming back from first 6 months on the job he got a brand new sports car, a small house and fully furnished it. Never kept contact though.

Stop lying, mate. These are all myths. The normal pay for someone right after the course is around 50k yearly. Then, only after 5 years and after knowing the right people, you might get $1,400 a day but that is not in every job, so it is uncertain how much u will make.

I feel like an astronaut in the ocean .

It’s actually kind of NUTS that we are building all the way down the water like that 😂

You guys that do this work are amazing. Thanks for the info. about this field. "Stay safe."

At those Depths, I can only imagine the stuff you see. Giant sharks, Sea Serpents, Mermaids, U.S.O.’s, etc.. all kinds of demonic stuff can come out of the darkness in that environment.

You're right jungleB..., The stories are remarkable and most don't talk about what they've seen. Apparently, the so-called Keepers of the Deep are the strangest.

@thanksgiving I understand your point. However, you vastly overestimate our ability to "see" the universe, whether in the literal sense or in terms of information we can glean from our understanding of what distant radiation patterns indicate about the objects and processes that give rise to them. The sheer enormity of space makes any comparison with our oceans absurd. I just thought it was funny the way you nonchalantly said that bit about us having seen "most" of space, lol. Obviously didn't take it literally, just having a laff m8.

Some of those wet welders won't dive again because of wired shit they seen. Check out the video where like he was talking about 4 guys living in a pressurized tank for 28 days. Saves the oil companies bucks so they don't decompress every day. Like the old days.

Incredibly educational. Really love this because the style reminds me of the old Discovery Channel documentaries. I can't even imagine however what it must feel like to have the qualities to do this. Biggest respect for these guys!

When I dove the deepest I went was 100 feet. And because the lake we were in was low, we were able to get to areas that were it full, wouldn't have done. I'm older now. I might dive to say 50 feet or 60, but nothing beyond that. I'm sure they are well paid. But as my dive instructor told us, "If you are cold, and not having fun, you need to be paid to do it." I looked at being an Army diver way back when, but what he said stuck with me. I'd get hazardous duty pay, but to be honest with you, it really want' enough.

That's hard core brother, thanks for posting.

I really appreciate these guys for the jobs that they do

Me at welding school: "Ain't gettin' ME inside that pipe." This guy: Inside the pipe at 600+ ft for 28 days + 4. Me:

worked with a guy who was ex navy diver and did saturation diving in the North Sea.....that's a tough job with high risk....all the credit is deserved with these guys.

What a great job, I’d genuinely love to do that kind of work. Awesome video lads, thank you.

I always used to think that these things were intended to resist positive pressure, but actually they are designed to maintain dive pressure. Fascinating

@glywnniswells9480

Yep until they come up to the boat and contain the huge pressure they bleed it slowly out over days ti decomprrss them

Wow that’s some serious preparation and crazy work environment

I work offshore in O&G and we have these guys on our rig a lot, they make really good money, even by offshore O&G standards however from what they've told me sat diving decreases their life expectancy significantly. A quote from one of their crew was "none of us are seeing 70".

Mad respect for saturation divers. ✌️

That’s pretty cool, I didn’t even have an idea that this existed. Those guys are awesome

Man! I wished I'd seen this in my twenties! This sounds like an intriguing opportunity for a lifelong career seeing the world.

You have to be a special person to go down there. Smart, tough, no fear... and love it

Fuck that respect though

As a helicopter pilot in the Gulf of Mexico in the late 70s I sometimes flew out to dive boats. The story that I was told most often was that these guys had a 10 year or so working life before they got too bent to continue diving. The goal was to make enough money in that amount of time to buy and equip their own dive boat and bid contracts and then let someone else do the diving while they supervised. I wonder if it is still like that.

Thank You to all of you brave men!!!Thank You all for all you do much respect to all of you!!!!!!!!

Never ceases to amaze me - the amount, and extremes, of activities and environments that humans can engage in.

I've seen a few diff vids of this and have to argue that this might be one of the most extreme jobs ever.

I watched Last Breath and now I can't stop obsessing over sat diving and how fucking insane it is.

Learnd to dive at 8 in mexico in 1969 then got certified at 11 in 72 ! When you had to memorize the dive table! Its was very soothing and good for me and my physical therapy as a legally blind man ! If you get a chance , you will never forget it !

These guys are unbelievably brave, what a job.

This is pretty similar to how working in space in the future would look. With the exception that this is actually more dangerous in some cases.

fascinating. We forget the incredible engineering that sustains our way of life and which can only be implemented thanks to people in such hazardous jobs as these deep sea technicians. Few of us could live in such un-natural conditions, cramped space and no sun light. Thank you to you and respect.

Thanks for all you do.

I am glad there are people who enjoy this sort of work. I wouldn't be able to take that claustrophobic environment for so long.

He's correct. As an Aussie, go through the course in Tasmania or you go home and dream. If you know you know.

I respect what these people do for us.

Hardest part would be not laughing myself to death at my crewmate's chipmunk voices from the high pressure.

been to 300 a bunch of times in the Gulf of Mexico, much respect to you.

How times change! Only 6 hour bell runs..We used to do minimum of 10 / 12 hours, sometimes 16 + hours..This in the late 1970’s Norwegian sector with Subsea and Comex. I was commercial diving between 1973 and 1983, North Sea, with a few trips to Saudi, India and Brazil.

I wish I knew about this growing up!
