3:28 that man climbing out of the abyss. I can't even begin to describe the terror that brings me. A different breed of human is required for this line of work.
That never bothered me. Sitting at a 40-foot deco stop for an hour at 3 a.m. was more terrifying than anything else because you had time to sit and think.
My total respect to you guy's. The north sea is no joke even if you are just sailing it. The variables you add into the mix for the dive are pretty scary to be honest. So much stuff could go badly wrong at any moment.
This gives me such strange feelings and puts the ocean in perspective how deep and mysterious its beautiful yet it gives me shivers I feel like experiencing this in person is something id seek out id love to learn more. Thank you for sharing
When I was young, I so wanted to be a deep diver. I grew up lifting furniture for a moving company and was used to hard work, but I wasn't disciplined, and I got off track in my youth. Desk jobs that weren't terrible were the best I could do, and not the adventure I wanted. Very cool vid. Dangerous job, but looks exciting.
The diving doesn't scare me as much as the transition from bell to pressurised living quarters. I know there's a ton of safety measures in place to make sure of not another Byford disaster but it could happen.
I’d be fine with that. I could do this job but I couldn’t do the night time side of it or going down far enough at certain light where it’s dark down there. I don’t mind the sea but at if I can’t see much l have a heart attack 😂
You have a free flow knob that will blast your face with gas. Itch on nose. Nose clearing device that goes under your nose can be used to scratch. Worse... a smal hair in your eye. Cant do f'all about that! Just have to wait till it locates in the rim of your eye... or go back to the bell and flush with bottled water. Before putting my hat on i religiously used to tug off loose eyelashes!
These people are super humans.... I just can’t believe that some people are brave enough to take on this job. They should get more visibility, I never heard of this job before until I saw a documentary on Netflix and I am soooo amazed by it, wow!!!’ Thank you for sharing !! I would Love to see more 😀👏👏
You are surely aware of the damages you aquire over time doing this job right? There is a reason some of these guys make half a million $ a year... It´s amazing i admit it but at what cost...
diving isn’t a back up plan its a jobs lads like myself have spent tens of thousands on in training and years of dog work to get to a decent position. Stay in college
Have some kind of work experience in building or fitting/welding or fishing Go to a dive college finish it and start ringing companies for work do this for many years until you get offshore work. Work offshore for many years and do a sat ticket then start all over again
I heard somewhere that divers in the (de)compression tanks spend up to 28 days getting their body adjusted for the pressure at the depths they are diving and that it can sometimes be as much as 19 times to pressure of the surface? I couldn't believe that was right. Is it really as much as that? If so, it certainly proves that any space travel to planets with considerably denser (right word?) atmospheric conditions would definitely be possible and allow humans to walk on the the surface, providing the appropriate "acclimatisation" was implemented and the correct equipment was used.
It can be more than 19 times. At sea level the pressure is 1 Atmosphere (ATM) at 10m it is 2ATM, 30m is 4ATM, 100m is 11ATM. I have dived at 190m/20ATM and the deepest ever dive was to 701m/71.1ATM.
Ok your comment is 3 years old, but anyway. They don't decompress for 28 days, but they live under pressure for 28 days, working, sleeping etc. Then after 28 days they decompress and go home. If they're pressurized to the pressure equal to 100 meter depth (330 feet), it takes approx. 3 days of decompression. Kinda crazy that my father did this for 20 years... he was rarely ever home.
they have a 100% acceptance, they'll even accept you if you've never dived in your life. Ive heard great things about the school but be prepared to find little no jobs in the market. US market only employs about 3 thousand divers, and all the schools pump out around 1000 divers a year, over 60% of commercial divers quit without even completing a full year of service
The oceans are much scarier than space because the chance of other life finding us is minute. In the oceans we know theres life, and some species yet to be found entirely.
I had no idea this job existed. I just found out last year. I’m mesmerized and terrified. Many kudos to those taking on this job! I hear it’s taxing but earns a high salary! I ei see if the rivers have an average life expectancy. Will be researching.

I don't know how u do it. Very brave to do a job like that. An insight into how humans do the work to keep us all going, from the bottom of the sea. I had no idea how the miles of pipes were put together. I think I thought lots of robotic submersibles were involved. How wrong I was.

At the beginning I was wondering why the bolts had so much thread left, then I noticed the hydraulic bolt tensioners later. Makes sense, a torque wrench is probably not well suited for the conditions.
I believe this dive was very shallow to simulate a SAT dive. Note natural sunlight throughout, and natural coloring. Below even 200 feet its nothing but dull grey.
Agm Smith It seems as if for every 100 feet, they do a day of decompression and then an extra day added on top. At 300 feet, they would do 4 days of decompression. The reason being that they surpass the normal bottom time to such an extent that they need to decompress THAT much. Not a SAT diver. Not even certified for open water (going through class rn). Just regurgitating what i’ve heard from other SAT diver videos.
I am a padi rescue diver and I have worked on the indutrial side as well. I was a hose tender and did the rigging. I have been in a hood and semi dry in a lake and it wasnt that bad. I have thought about going in to this and leave my trade as a union boilermaker. Would it be worth it at 38?
My son wants to do this. We live on the coast in the Scottish highlands and the Royal Navy send their divers here during training. He’s been wanting to dive since he was tiny and I’m happy with his choice but I wish he’d go to the Navy and train with them and work for a few years before considering private sector work.
If he joins the Navy or the Army he could get most of his training paid for plus he'll gain bit of life experience. The military mentality fits well with this line of work
I recently read a great book about this job. Bloody crazy breed. Was called Salvamar - A Tale of Salvage and Deep Diving. Really enjoyed it and the main character whose career you follow is quite a dude.
I’d like to convince myself I’d have the gumption to do this job, but then I think about the reality of being a sat diver for 0.00005 seconds and my gumption goes bye bye.
So basically without these guys, the world would not have oil pipes, water pipes, internet wires and whatever else is under water that we rely on everyday.
There are various vessels designated for that purpose such Cable laying vessel and pipe laying vessel. This diver just do small portion of it that still reachable by saturation diving. Deeper than this, operation is carried out by ROV
Hey i have a few questions... im not a very experienced diver though (im only 14 lol) so if this seems ignorant im sorry. Do you use heliox while diving this deep? And is that a warm water suit you are wearing while going down the diving bell? what depth are you at and what task are you doing at the ocean floor? Lastly how long is your decompression obligation at that depth?
Yes the breathing mix is Heliox. Yes it's a warm water suit. The water comes down from the ship and is regulated by a valve on the divers hip. In this video we were conducting valve ops and fitting a flushing hose to a manifold. Depth was around 100m. Decompression takes roughly 1 hour for every metre. 100m = 100 hours of decompression, but that is a very rough guide.
Stupid Question: Assuming the Diving Bell is at a depth of, let's say, 300 meters. What would happen if someone would climb down the hatch into the water at that depth only half-way down, submerging his body up until his belt? Would you actually feel the water pressure even if you just stuck your arm in the water? Without a diving suite, forgot to mention.
I just wonder: how does it feel? Like the water must be under so much pressure also? Does it feel more viscous down there? Or is that a stupid question? 😅 idk much about physics
Because the pressure inside the bell is slightly greater than the water pressure. It works in a similar way to if you upturn a glass and push it into a sink or bath. The glass will stay filled with air.

Wow that looks fun, i really want to become a sat diver since i was in a high school, what is the requirement and the cost for the training to joining this job?
First you need to do your Commercial SCUBA and Surface Supplied courses. Check this school out for course availability and pricing: www.commercialdivertraining.co.uk
This may be a ridiculously dumb question but when you open the hatch to let the divers out of the bell does that water not come in because the bell itself is pressurized to the same pressure as the surrounding water?
yeah all i can say is you guys have more balls than me have nearly drowned twice in my life have to lie to myself just go near a bodie of water my family went to myrtle beach and i only went in the water because my 4 and 8 year old cousins were begging me. i over came my feer by a good amount in the fact that i went out about half a foot ball fields lenth into the water in fairness though it only came up to my chin. still i think i would never want to do this but you all are awsome.
Generally, yes, although strong currents can appear at any level of the sea. Sometimes the surface is ok, but 20 ft down there can be a really bad current
I am wondering how does the increased pressure of 10+ ATM in the diving bell feels, is it noticeably harder to move around in that kind of pressure enviroment compared to the surface?
so when you go up to the bell do you have to off gas? and also is it no d if the bell is that close to the sea floor? im currently in dive school and i want to be a sat diver one day.
Yes, once we’re in the bell the hat comes off. The height of the bell from the seabed depends on what assets are around and how tall they are. If there aren’t any assets in the area the bell can be quite close to the seabed
You are the real Astronauts no one ever hears about
Aquanauts
I was just thinking the same thing. If i am not able to fly for SpaceX, then ill saturation dive.

Very. Great hyydrolab” Tektite “ . No bottom time. Limit . Peace and love.
That's seems more dangerous then going to space ,that crazy hope you guys get paid great.
This is my nightmare - small spaces
i had the same situation but i'm working as a commercial diver now
You’d really have to get over it and fast!
I cant wait. I hope one day i get to dive like them.
You can dive in my bed! Oh how we will feast on squid and feed Leviathan with our blood my lad!
Goals. Looks like a dreamy job
Here after watching Mr. Ballen.
This may be a ridiculously dumb question but when you open the hatch to let the divers out of the bell does that water not come in because the bell itself is pressurized to the same pressure as the surrounding water?
That’s correct.
yeah all i can say is you guys have more balls than me have nearly drowned twice in my life have to lie to myself just go near a bodie of water my family went to myrtle beach and i only went in the water because my 4 and 8 year old cousins were begging me. i over came my feer by a good amount in the fact that i went out about half a foot ball fields lenth into the water in fairness though it only came up to my chin. still i think i would never want to do this but you all are awsome.
tiring job with cramp spaces. stressful
Submechanaphobia is kicking in especially seeing that big cage appearing when they first dive
The cage is a large tool basket, filled with all the equipment needed to do the job
Fantastic and very brave…👍🏻👍🏻..if the sea is rough,how’s deep down??calmer than above ??
Generally, yes, although strong currents can appear at any level of the sea. Sometimes the surface is ok, but 20 ft down there can be a really bad current
Can you listen to music while working?
How cool is this? I miss diveing
I am wondering how does the increased pressure of 10+ ATM in the diving bell feels, is it noticeably harder to move around in that kind of pressure enviroment compared to the surface?
Nothing noticeable. Other than clearing your ears on the way down or up you don't really feel any different.
Dam I love this shit so interesting
so when you go up to the bell do you have to off gas? and also is it no d if the bell is that close to the sea floor? im currently in dive school and i want to be a sat diver one day.
Yes, once we’re in the bell the hat comes off. The height of the bell from the seabed depends on what assets are around and how tall they are. If there aren’t any assets in the area the bell can be quite close to the seabed
0:36 had my volume up cuz no sound OUT OF NOWHERE SCARY music PLAYS🤣
Wow this is amazing. If it weren't for the lights of the diving Bell would it be completely pitch black at that depth?
Yes.
These guys are amazing
This particular music was really distracting. Amazing video though. Those men are just something else.
