An old friend of mine's younger brother does this. He was a deep sea diver for the Navy, and then went into this line of work. It's a VERY specialized skill set. As of a little over ten years ago (last time he told me about it) his brother was making a little over $300k per year. And this isn't a full time job, as described. He's actually on station between 4 and 6 months a year.
4 to 6 months of this a year is still A LOT. It's basically prison for about half of your life. No amount of money is worth half my life tbh
@@DrunkGeko yeah except you get paid a shit ton for it and it's voluntary.
And just to add, that money's not for nothing. Aside from the intense upfront training needed to do these kinds of jobs, it's hell on your body and mind and it requires your work/life balance to be 100% work for half of the year. The pay, while high, is completely fair for those kinds of sacrifices.
@@8stormy5 There is a reason why a lot of saturation divers are prior Navy divers. They are already used to the work conditions, except they now get paid super well and have even more freedom while in "work" mode. It isn't like the companies employing sat divers don't want to keep their divers happy and entertained during their pressure stints.
One thing to keep in mind is that these divers don't actually have to be working full speed all the time. They are kept on standby, even if they aren't needed that moment. It is a lot easier to just send the team on standby in than it is to assemble them and prep the capsules when their skills are needed.
@@DrunkGeko you get paid a ton of money for the other half of your life tho. I'm sure it's incredibly demanding mentally and physically so kudos to anyone who does this
Mistake @4:52. Saturation dive gas contains less oxygen, not more. It's because of PPO (Partial Pressure of Oxygen). If PPO is too high, it can result in oxygen toxicity., Which is really bad. So to lower the PPO, you reduce the percentage of oxygen in the air you're breathing. You may see saturation dive gasses as low as 3.5% oxygen, or even lower. While that percentage is bad if you breath it at sea level, under those pressures, it's perfectly fine.
Oh, really. Good point.
Makes sense. If you increase the pressure like this and you breathe the same air mixture, then you would get significantly more oxygen molecules for the same volume of air.
I'm assuming the mixture is adjusted so you get about the same mass of oxygen you would normally?
Thank you for ensuring correct information
Also, putting more oxygen %% at that pressure would be very dangerous. Just a spark and good night.
Just a week into 2025 and already content for the "Mistakes we made" video
Legitimate question: Has there ever been a show or film with an underwater laboratory, military base, or hotel that wasn't destroyed by the end?
I imagine spongebob has each of those at some point
Sealab?
Sealab 2020/2021 it's animated though, other than that I mean it's not underwater but there's that show where they're on an aircraft carrier I think
The rig in the Abyss survived, but only just.
In Subnautica most Precursor Bases seem to be mostly fine, but that's a video game

Yeesss!
Haha!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Saturation diving is a bit of a dying industry, but for good reason: more and more jobs can now be done by remote controlled robots. Which, conveniently, require the same skills to operate as someone who is already in the industry. Kind of a win for everyone, actually.
I'm pretty sure sat divers don't see being obsoleted as any more of a win than you will when you're replaced by non-biological machines.
After reading about the Byford Dolphin accident that can only be a good thing. Easily the most gruesome Wikipedia page I've ever read.
not really.. 300k for a 4-6month stint is pretty amazing in this economy.. i guarantee they drop the joystick guys down to year round rotations and cut their pay to sub 80k
Personally, I don't think it's worth the risk when some guy above is literally controlling the air you're breathing. You gotta have a lot of trust in the team above... @AndrewBrowner
@@AndrewBrownerThat's the fault of the current economic reality, not the job.
"Brave beyond advisement" is a good resume/job description line
In 1983, one of these chambers rapidly depressurized from 9 atmospheres to 1 atmosphere with 4 occupants inside. The Byford Dolphin diving bell accident.
"Gross dismemberment" is all you need to know.
I remember watching a video ab this not that long ago. I think it was veritasium or one of the other big science channels
that's actually a pretty gentle euphemism. if given two words i'd describe the result as "human paste"
@@soulsdedI believe it was Joe Scott. I saw the same video!
Joe Scott - How to squeeze a human being through a 5-inch hole.
Maybe it's just on Nebula due to the graphic nature, idk.
I absolutely expected him to get to this accident at the end. But it's way too gruesome, I guess
This might be one of the few jobs where humans SHOULD be replaced by automated robots, because that sounds like a living hell
A very well paid living hell. Saturation divers make multiple 6 figures a year, and only work 6 months of the year.
While not as unpleasant as this, there's not very many jobs people actually want to do. Also, this is a very high paying job, which is why people do it voluntarily
Most of deep sea welding is done by robots, but there is always things that is basically impossible to make a robot do, so there is people that need to do it and they get paid very well.
If they could, they would. It's not an easy job to design a robot to do.
@@matthewslentz5481 And then die in their 50's ...
Comment on 5:05 I've worked for a company that made those and have the diving record (Comex S.A.) the breathing helium at this pressure doesn't make you speak like that, because it's so presurise your vocal cords cant even create a understandable sound through the air of the cabin and everyone wears mic headset where your voice is sent in a computer program to be made understandable and the redistributed via everyone headset. 2 people a feet apart cant even communicate without this. (Or they write). And for everyone wondering, it's not new fun technology, it's happening since the 80's with the technology you imagine at the time
Hell yeah, saturation diving content!!! If the Byford Dolphin incident isn't mentioned I'm going to riot until Sam lets me be his team partner on the next season of Jet Lag.
Edit: Sam, get ready for your next partner for Jet Lag!!!
😢
Ah yes, the incident where people became biology because of a small hole.
I mean, it's tangentially referenced in the bit where everyone becomes smeared pixels, but more than that is too depressing for this channel
@@hoej That feels more physics than biology to be honest
Aw, nice try, but he already promised the spot to me, maybe next season!
For those curious, the character on the man's arm at 7:02 is 稳 (traditional chinese 穩) wen3 which means "stable, firm, solid, steady, settled." Appropriate for someone living in The Horrible Tube
a small correction: when you go deeper than 60 meters, the risk of oxygen poisoning becomes too great even when breathing normal air (21% oxygen), so helix that is used there usually contains less oxygen than normal air does. just a few numbers: if you enrich air to 32% of oxygen, your maximum operating depth (mod) becomes 34 meters, if ox=40 (maximum used in recreational diving) than mod is only 25 meters. if you want to reach 100 meters, you wold need to reduce the portion of oxygen of just 12.5%
Why is Helium used? I've read throughout the years that helium is running out.
@@dannydaw59 Helium doesn't lead to narcosis like nitrogen does. Also once you get deep enough the density of the air becomes a factor requiring considering so you can actually breath. He is naturally much lighter than N so it helps. Recreationally to save money some N is cut in. Many calculators online for what your breathing mix is. If you'd like to know more look into tec diving and there's several good videos on youtube about it.
Also the cost of He is why basically everyone doing very deep tec diving uses 10-30k rebreathers.(also the lowering of decompression obligation)
@@dannydaw59 it actually kinda is running out in large deposits, but it is also present in the atmosphere and can be extracted from it. it's also not like divers are the largest consumer of helium. and, as described in a comment above, it is harmless to people, cheap (by inert gas standards) and light
@fintomoon So the adults were wrong that "helium will harm you if you breathe too much in" were wrong when I was a kid. Ok, thanks for the explanation.
@@dannydaw59 they were actually somewhat right, as when you breathe helium from a balloon, there is no oxygen there. that combines with the fact that carbon dioxide gets removed from your system, which prevents brain from detecting any issues. it's not like bad bad, but can theoretically make you unconscious
Everyone keeps saying Subnautica, but real OGs know it's actually just SOMA IRL
But no virtual paradise in the end
havent played SOMA in a long time, maybe I should start from the begining again and play the whole game once more 😍😍
Only $1400 a day for living in a prison, monitored 24/7 with no contact outside those locked in with you, beyond difficult work conditions, constant risk of death and what is akin to 8 day physical torture just to leave. You know what I think they need more pay.
At 4:44 I didn't expect to see candles on a birthday cake when the air you're breathing is being recirculated
Not that they are the same, but there are these special candles you can burn that do actually make oxygen when burned, and they are commonly called candles, or oxygen candle. I would be surprised if they didn't have any down there, for just in case they become disconnected from the mother ship.
It may sound funny, but as the system can take oxygen from the surrounding air, burning candles inside only means you need to crank it up a little bit. Just like you need to crank the AC up if you burn candles inside in July. The extra wear and tear and energy consumption is so minimal, it doesn't matter. Unless you go full Sam and fill the room with tealights, that is.
I was kinda surprised that the cake looks that stable, considering the pressure it's in, but it could have been locally made to still be fluffy in an environment with pressure that high
my favourite part is the utter failure to light it because the match is immediately snuffed by the atmosphere in there
Before anybody signs up for an exciting, and lucrative, career as a saturation diver, be sure to look up the Byford Dolphin incident first.
Safety regulations have gotten much better since then. That said, there are still plenty of other ways deep sea diving can kill you.
@@justicefool3942but are those regulations followed and enforced?
And does violating them save more money than the fine?
@Spencer-wc6ew
The fact that everyone brings up an accident from 40 years ago rather than anything that happened in this millennium indicates that they are followed.
I'd wager you have a higher chance of injury or death just driving down the road.
@@Chris-pt6hh I wager you would loose that wager.
For many people, just being imprisoned for a week+ in a small chamber you cannot leave under any circumstance (including medical emergency) would already cause severe psychological effects like claustrophobia, paranoia or worse. A panick attack at that depth is likely 100 times more likely and 100 times more fatal than in a car.
4:55 Heliox has less oxygen then standard air not more. High pressures of oxygen in the body can give you oxygen toxicity leading to seizures and death. At deep depths you have to breath a gas (either heliox (Oxygen and Helium), trimix (oxygen, Helium and some nitrogen) or throwing some hydrogen in their if you really want to get deep and spicy) that has less oxygen than air not more.
Conversely, the Apollo astronauts were fine with pure oxygen at 5 psi (one third atmosphere).
For the rest of the world: 1 Bar or Atmosphere ≈ 15 PSI
The divers used in the example are at about 22 times atmospheric pressure.
Bar? How can gas be a bar? PSI makes infinitely more sense.
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket Americans grow up challenge (difficulty: very hard)
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket that moment when
When words have more than one definition
@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa). The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is also used to quantify internal pressure, stress, and ultimate tensile strength. The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m2) A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar).
I.e. 1 bar = 100 000 newtons per square metre and 1 newton is equal to about 0,102 kg.
@@gustavselin1197 important nitpick: 1 newton is that many kilograms of **force** ie the amount of force the weight of such a mass would exert at 1g. it's not a unit of mass
You do NOT want to hasten the decompression process. A hasty decompression has very unpleasant results.
I have a friend who's seriously thinking of doing this. We're a bit concerned given how dangerous it is and how he is emotionally. But he really wants to do it. His plan is to saturation dive for several years, collect the big salary, and not have to work again, since he hates work. Glad to be given some more information on it
That says fourteen thousand rupees 2:27
Another source says this:" During SAT swimming, you’ll receive an everyday rate and an hourly bonus. Your on-deck day cost, for example, may well be $650 each day, but your SAT bonus is hourly. For example, $33.00 per day per hour x 24hr is $792 plus your rate of $650 per day. That equates to around 1,400 dollars daily"
Yes but you add on the pay you get for simply being in the chamber for 24 hours a day. Or 18? Not sure if the time spent diving counts.
if you read one line further youd see thats a payrate for just being on the rig and theres an hourly rate ontop of that for when youre under compression... dont jump to conclusions so quick when youre up against a team of people far smarter than you
And if any of the valves on the pressurized people cans is ever opened accidentally you die instantly. From being pushed through a tiny hole. Remember, Delta-P is not your friend. DON'T look up what Delta-P can do to the human body.
And definitely don't look up Byford Dolphin
@@nefarious_kittyit's too late, I'm already cursed with the knowledge of this incident, I at least haven't seen the photos though
I would hope they have redundancy, so a single valve couldn't do that. There should a minimum of two failures before you have a catastrophic outcome. And it would need to be a very large valve before being pushed through it becomes a problem - with 333psi on one side and 15psi on the other, if the valve is a square inch then the force is 318 lbs. You could easy resist that. I expect they mostly use valves smaller than a square inch.
the valves might be small but the doors are bigger
From Wikipedia about the byford dolphin incident
Investigation by forensic pathologists determined that Hellevik, being exposed to the highest pressure gradient and in the process of moving to secure the inner door, was forced through the crescent-shaped opening measuring 60 centimetres (24 in) long created by the jammed interior trunk door. With the escaping air and pressure, gross dismemberment ensued; it included bisection of his thoracoabdominal cavity, which resulted in fragmentation of his body, followed by expulsion of all of the internal organs of his chest and abdomen, except the trachea and a section of small intestine, and of the thoracic spine. These were projected some distance from the bell, with one section being found 10 metres (30 ft) vertically above the exterior pressure door.
@MrUhlus Yes, doors are big enough to be dangerous. That's why modern doors are designed so they can't be opened without equalising the pressure first. You have to use small valves to equalise the pressure and then you can open the big doors.
1:16 no way I love that album
Omg I can't believe they named a disease after a Radiohead album
on god
My brother did a stint on a ship where saturation divers were working. They had their own pressurised life raft, connected directly to their habitat
Hey Sam and company - loved the video and really loved the music behind it. What artist/band and song? They deserve a credit.
Hope someone answers, I really liked it too
4:54 - Some gas mixtures can have less percentage oxygen than normal air.
There are a few different gas mixtures that can be used and Nitrox, Trimix, and Heliox all have different ratios for different depths. As a general rule the partial pressure of oxygen cannot exceed 1.6atm or else you get oxygen toxicity. Heliox can 90/10 can be used which is approximately 90% Helium and 10% oxygen. You do need to have some added nitrogen in the gas or else you can get high-pressure nervous syndrome so you often can't remove nitrogen entirely.
Additionally this means that heliox mixtures at normal atmospheric pressure would kill you as anything less than ~19% oxygen is unsafe or deadly. (OSHA limit is 19.5% oxygen at 1ATM)
At saturation diving depths, the literal subject of this video, the mixtures will almost always have less O2 than normal air.
@@nathanielsottung Nitrogen is only needed when bounce diving. It's not used in saturation diving because HPNS doesn't present during a slow compression
A PPO2 of 1.4 is considered the safe limit during a dive, with some talk of lowering it to 1.2. A PPO2 of 1.6 is generally only considered safe during decompression
@@nathanielsottung 19% oxygen is absolutely fine. You can go down to about 16% safely without acclimatising (as long as you aren't exerting yourself too much). If you acclimatise, you can go over lower - at the 8000m threshold for the "death zone" in mountain climbing, the partial pressure of oxygen is about 7.5% of an atmosphere, so anything more than that is acclimatisable. The reason for the 19.5% threshold has more to do with that being a reasonable margin of error than it being a safe limit. There is usually no good reason for the oxygen level to drop that low, so if it has something has gone wrong and an alarm should go off. The same percentage is used regardless of altitude, so it clearly isn't a safety threshold. If 19.5% at sea level were dangerous, normal air at 2000 feet would be dangerous. Obviously, people can go above 2000 feet without any problems at all.
@@thomasdalton1508 I think the point still stands. A saturation diver using a 90/10 Heliox mixture would not be able to breathe those gases at normal pressures due to insufficient oxygen. On the other hand, an 80/20 Heliox mixture is safe to breathe at normal atmospheric pressure (1 atm) with a partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) at 0.2 atm. However, at a depth of 8 atmospheres (70 meters), the oxygen partial pressure in 80/20 would reach 1.6 atm, which is the upper limit for oxygen toxicity. This makes 80/20 unsafe beyond that depth.
The video mentions saturation diving at 333 PSI (22.65 atmospheres). Using an 80/20 Heliox mixture at this depth would result in an oxygen partial pressure of 4.5 atm, far exceeding safe levels for oxygen toxicity. Similarly, a 90/10 Heliox mixture at this depth would produce an oxygen partial pressure of 2.27 atm, which is also dangerously high.
The ideal gas mixture for saturation diving at this depth is 94/6 (94% helium and 6% oxygen). At 22.65 atmospheres, this provides an oxygen partial pressure of 1.36 atm, which is safely below the oxygen toxicity threshold of 1.4 atm. Additionally, the helium partial pressure would be 21.3 atm.
It’s worth noting that the minimum depth for using a 94/6 mixture is 16.67 meters (55 feet), where the ambient pressure is 2.67 atmospheres. At shallower depths, the oxygen partial pressure would fall below the minimum safe level for breathing
80/20 Heliox: Safe up to 8 atmospheres (70 meters) but becomes toxic beyond this depth.
90/10 Heliox: Usable starting at ~10 meters (2 atmospheres) but unsafe at 22.65 atmospheres due to oxygen toxicity.
94/6 Heliox: Ideal for depths between 16.67 meters (2.67 atmospheres) and 333 PSI (22.65 atmospheres), providing safe oxygen levels for saturation diving.
4:58 Heliox for deep dives has less oxygen, not more. At high partial pressures (percentage of Oxygen * the pressure), Oxygen is toxic and will kill you without having to come to the surface. So to go deep, you need to reduce both the concentration of Nitrogen AND the concentration of Oxygen. Otherwise it would be simple enough to just breathe pure Oxygen to get away from Nitrogen narcosis, without bothering with Helium at all.
As Oxygen is metabolised in your body, your body doesn't care what % of the gas you breathe is O2, all it cares is that there are enough O2 molecules. So even if the air you breathe is 10% Oxygen, at 5 Atm pressure it will be roughly equivalent to breathing 100% Oxygen at sea level, as far as your body is concerned (other pressure and gas related stuff ignorted)

The work for 6 straight hours would kill me before any decompression sickness.
typically, you get a break (possibly with some food) in the bell after 3 hours and change who is the main one doing the work on the bell run vs in the bell
Satdiving is also responsible for mulitple cases of turning people into chemistry. Also for one of the very few cases of spaghettification where you could observe the results.

Heliox is less oxygen at pressure over 1.6ppO2 you'll have an oxygen toxicity hit.
Also the O2 will be limited to not exceed maximum oxygen intake per day
Hi hai team! Love the comedy you put into these info drops
i have been in these chambers and make diver tools for them to work with. all very cool, though it seems a scary place to be down there. plus, it's interesting that there is only one place in the world where you can train to do this.
Water starts to boil at 208°C or 407°F at that pressure crazy.
I wonder if some of the guys that do this were a little spooked by the whole Oceangate thing, or if they were like "Psh. Amateaurs."
It sound normal to anybody who watched or read Made In Abyss except it's underwater and they can go back to the surface more easily
Wholesome to not mention the Byford Dolphin incident.
1:03 - This is not fine, as explained as 5:00
4:57 - Heliox contains no dinitrogen at all, and less dioxygen than normal air, a normal concentration of O2 would be deadly at such pressure
It reminds me of Byford Disaster
i'm impressed by yet another use of Helium that i had absolutely no idea about before.
I like the optimism of people that assume PSI is an undrstandable unit. Frankly, Pascals are also unintuitive. I accept atmospheres, as that is 10 meters of water.
A very polite request. Please include metric units. The USA is one of a handful of countries that don't use the metric system. It would be so much easier if you supplied both metric and USA's customary units in the videos.
Having a hard time listening to the information because the background track goes so hard
Very distracting music lol
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Perhaps this can be useful for space colonization
Indirectly, yes. Astronauts prepare themselves for EVA (extravehicular activity, AKA spacewalks) by pre-breathing special gas mixes and acclimatizing to lower pressures. Though they might spend a few hours on this, not days, as the pressure deltas are much lower. Even a perfect vacuum is only 15 psi removed from normal, to use the same units as this video.
Spaceships though are only rated for between 0 and 1 atmospheres.
I had no idea about this. I had heard, however, that people die in tubes at the bottom of the ocean.
The background music is very loud
Taking the timee to give you your flowers on tthe chosen music for this episode! xx
I wonder what's actually statistically more dangerous:
This job?
Or delivery driving?
No doubt this is an extremely dangerous job but many people die and are hurt in car crashes each year, not to mention robberies and the like.
I'm just wondering if there's data on that and what it looks like tbh
Sometimes we think of things like this as extreme and deadly but it's really the mundane and everyday that can be even more lethal.
Cool idea, but it would be hard to scale up for a comparison with this particular job, since so few ppl do it. You’d be better off using a job like fire fighter as a comparison-everyone knows it’s dangerous, but way more people are working as firefighters than as the type of diver featured in this video. There’s still going to be an imbalance in the number of ppl holding each type of job, but there are enough firefighters to be able to come up with a meaningful average. That said, it’d be cool if that guy over at Wendover put together a video based on the most (statistically) dangerous jobs in America.
Was this video inspired by Silo
This would mess with my claustrophobia to no end! I give them mad credit for having the guts to do thos, but you would never catch me down there in a million years!

No, it was loud and intrusive with the trumpet blares.
2:22 its not 14000 usd, it is 14000 rs, which is equal to 300 usd. Atleast watch your videos once before posting.
Fourteen hundred would be $1400 - so it makes even less sense. Also a little disingenuous imo to say sat divers make up to 6 times as much when they compare the lowest paid air diver to the highest paid sat diver. It's more like 2-3 times as much if you look at the brackets.
@@H1bbe how about both of you read the rest of that paragraph.. nice and slow now so you can understand it
And if someone has a medical emergency, like a heart attack for instance, I guess they just die. I assume sat divers have to pass a pretty stringent medical exam to make this less likely
I assume it's the same as being an astronaut.
My only question is would HAI put their brain in a robot body? You'd have the strength of five Gorillas.
Nice music video 😊
Awesome video. Not a fan of the background music, it kept distracting me from the narration
Yeah, never knew someone is there, let alone asking why
If you ever want to know how important each airlock is and the process, look up the Byford Dolphin accident. Just do yourself a favour and don't look up the photos
