I want to give my gratitude to the divers that do these dangerous jobs, our modern way of life wouldn't work without them!
They would just develop robots to do it
@@MichaelJones-jd9pj they can't or are just lets say it very complicated cause the robot can't do maintenance with that Accuracy like humans
@@zamba4882 trust me they can do it better
good to see people recognize our work!
lol 😂@@creedorian
You just can't beat educationial videos like this.
I swear, i feel like a kid back in school every time. That cozy feeling is nice
A friend of a friend does deep welding and repair operations where he needs to prepare in the pressurized chamber. He makes $850 an hour, including the time in the pressurized chamber. But, it's super dangerous and he said your career isn't as long as others.
850 an hour isn't right. Offshore Saturation pays max 350/hr. Coming from a actual diver
@@lolimthenoob you work there ?
@@lolimthenoobthat's still fucking crazy
@@alpFiLathat's not a realistic expectation even before considering taxes. I don't imagine there are consistent enough projects to work that would bag you 300 hours a month. How often do these cables need these repairs, for instance?
So good money-- for the time you actually work. It doesn't add up the way it sounds.
@@lolimthenoob I have heard of underwater welders making 800+ an hour
That offshore windmills is another great success in modern technology. To think about the cable including all the work involving with it, it was fantastic. Great achievement.
Yes, but at a cost. Those blades may look like they're spinning slow, but the tips are zipping at a hundreds of mph. Those large ones with 120m blades are over 1000 mph. Birds get hit, fall into the sea and that attracts sharks who feed on the free meals. It changes the whole ecoscape. The same thing is happening in windfarms in the western US. Eagles and other birds getting wiped out at an alarming rate. So while I agree with the clean power, don't think it doesn't come at a price. A steep price for some
@@valuedhumanoid6574 woah..nice info. Thanks for sharing. I didn't even think about that.
Very flippant comment....and quite cynical....unproven and incorrect....im not American by the way....

@@JazZy-pn4ms The red pill is knowing how nuclear plants are the absolute greenest form of energy. Solar and wind could never currently keep up with demands, and the pollution caused making and maintaining them is a joke. Natural gas plants (second to nukes) are currently more green than solar and wind. So much of the world still runs on coal and diesel. People need to wake up on this issue.
Muchas gracias por tan valiosa explicación. He apredido mucho hoy.
Something tells me these guys are in one hell of a growth business thanks to Bribem's NS2 job.
Incredible Engineering at every level
Thank you for this amazing video! I loved diving in Aqaba with Deep Blue Dive Center, amazing trainers otherwise I was so scared
Yemen is going to repair this cable soon🇾🇪🇾🇪

Hahahaha, that's right
Sangat indah sekali pemandangan bawah lautnya...
those engineers are very smart to built such a ship
Meu Deus tem que ter muita coragem 😮😮
....quite touching for these deep welding divers who choose death over life just for us to enjoy life....the $850 per hour can't guarantee life under Sea level....myself can't even dream of taking a dive into a pool at my boss z house😅God bless these talented teams
my great grandfather was a hardhat diver and helped lay the first transcontinental toll cable...
Pretty cool it’s a big operation to lay a cable
Thanks for your sharing
Amazing ！ It seems like an astronaut's EVA.
I did this in the 80s a great gig, we worked on a strictly military system
Muito bom trabalhar em contato com a natureza 😊
nice video! really informative
Beautiful discovery

We lost 4 divers working in a pipe last year in Trinidad & Tobago. Very dangerous job
Sorry for your loss
I've lost 25 friends in diving accidents since 1959, its a dangerous activity.
@@frogmanant how do you lose one
@@alpFiLa They die.
@@frogmanant I mean how do they die

Very intersting joy work to observe the water nature .barrister kiani loves ocean diving
go to DIT ( divers institute of technology) Seattle Washington state , or DAES ( divers academy of the eastern seaboard ) in Camden NJ. Get licensed and go for it. 6 month course. SAT divers now 30-35 k a month income offshore- 6 weeks on-6 weeks off. did DAES in the late 80's, retired well. Hardest work, but highest paying blue collar job globally
Make a video on how the USA blew up NoordStream.
cant even spell it right lmao
ANOTHER ANTI UNITED STATES TROLL ?
YEAH THERE EVERYWHERE.
LAST SEPTEMBER, when explosions damaged Nord Stream 1 and 2, two undersea gas pipelines that connected Russia to Germany, evidence of a culprit was scant. Some European governments suspected Russia.Mar 8, 2023

Muita coragem a dess s mergulhadores, profissão muito perigosa.
Very interesting vid. Just not sure exactly how environmentally friendly wind energy is being generated in our seas.

The houtis are coming to destroy it soon.
set it to 1.25x speed youre welcome.
vídeo magnífico 🇧🇷👏
Nice video
My grandpa was one of the engineers working there between 2008-2016
How much did he make an hour

How about a video on corrosion control on offshore oil rigs
Installing anodes?
Perhaps if the narattor could speak a bit slower these videos could be used to teach English to Sloths ....?
If the habitat required years of training in pools...etc, that means the power was cutoff for years?
No they probably created a general cable repair simulation system for people to train on years before a company calls them.
roger that, there are approximately 300 saturation divers globally, all very busy, and 40-50 new every year. NOTE: 36-38 years old and your done. HEO@ " heliox, causes bone necrosis around 40. I retired at 37. @@ezmushroom
Does that work with pipelines too?
Yes.
Finished my recreational scuba cert today in an old quarry in NC, I'm your guy
how do they pinpoint ruptures in those cables to send a repair team to specific location?
I don't fully understand it, but I believe there's something called OTDR - Optical time-domain reflectometer
Basically its a device that sends light across the cable and can figure out where along the cable there's a problem.
Gostei muito bom
If these cables throw the sharks off, and the sea floor feeds on shark remnants, and the sea floor some how feeds the reefs--then could cables cause problems?
Yes
In space, for something like an O’Neill cylinder, you would need something similar to lay down those cables as it’s being built.
The plus side of it, versus just installing and doing a spacewalk is that you can go up and down the cylinder as needed for repairs in comfort and safety of the ring.
Guerreiros corajosos
Where I can apply for that job? 😎
Cable laying under the ocean was first done in the late 1800's. Using steam ships and even tall ships. Gotta give some credit to the early settlers who innovated these ideas you show.
que incrível
One of those is where our internet packets (communications) go through..North America to Europe etc
Nice job doing that

Seems to be some sort of outage between SEAsia and Aus at the moment. avg ping between Bangkok and Sydney was 120ms, but jumped to 234ms from 30/5/2023, and jumped again today to 250ms.
Yes there is an outage
@@hehehexpresso Yeah thought so since my ping to Japan and Singapore are unaffected, so it must be a problem isolated to the connection with Oceana region.
Outstanding

Hi. Better add some chainmail charcuttier gloves. Share this, please to the previous offshore video.
So why are the cables not put in cable ducts?
Cost, probably
not me randomly watching & hearing the intro looking for Kendall Rae
It’s a sea of glass mingled with fire 🔥.
12:42 So this might be an ignorant question, but how do you assure that no one turns that 25ft blender on? I understand lockout tagout, but can that me done with just the propellers?
Starting such a big engine is a whole process that requires a team of technicians. Those technicians aren't going to be on shift while the ship is anchored for hours or days and no cargo operations happening either. Of course you might have maintenance crews working on the engine at the same time as the propeller has downtime. In such case, everybody is briefed, contractors will announce and report to ship company / captain on deck who coordinates crews. If the engine was somehow started anyways during diving work, it would likely happen slowly and allow for swift evacuation. In any case, ship operators will be in big trouble if it happens. "I'm gonna need you to call this number", diving contractor probably nopes out of there, legal procedures, downtime, financial penalties, all that jazz.
hi guys...I want to know how surveyor is involved in the video process
Maravilha
I can imagine those divers get a hefty paycheck!
Show 👍
Salary 100.000 dolars for month. Cheaper. otherwise dont even leave the sofa.
How many Feminists are in this line of work again? Yea I guessed right. Let’s appreciate the men who keep our world moving 💪💪💪
