    Ive worked in the water and waste water world for over 30 years now- Some of the divers are in their 60's and still working because this type of industrial repair takes a really special type of diver. Ive seen a few ocean rig guys quit on the first day due to the environment. Alot of the time these guys are diving in waste water plants or some type of process water in a large manufacturing plant.
