  • This day we worked at 108 meters depth on this site that was like a pool, really rare condition for me.
    This video start with the team change on TUP. Then the bellman goes insede the bell and start a check list routine (I know that is so long but can be interessesting for someone) and then the divers go in the water and start to work in this amazing work site. The video end just before the divers return to the bell to be recovered by the diving system.

    My father used to be a saturation driver in, as he described it, the wild west era of the 80's. Never have I had more respect for him than after watching your videos, thank you for showing me a glimpse something I never thought I would see.

      My father was a saturation diver in the north sea for 19 years. 1983-2002. Then he worked as a supervisor for 15 years. I wouldn't want to be one, but I'd like to try it!

      Because you want to challenge yourself and not be scared of irrational fear, you want to leave your instinctive animal mind and overcome it. It's a different job and therefor interesting. It's also very well paid and the absolute pinnacle of commercial diving. This is not as dangerous as it looks, some say saturation diving is actually the safest form of commercial diving due to all the extreme supervision and safety precautions.@@nadzirahfarhah3423

      To be a saturation diver you must to have already some experience as Air Diver. Usually you have to work long as diver to get a opportunity to go in saturation. If the company that you work as diver have air and sat jobs this pass from air to saturation diver may be easier.

      Because the pressure inside the bell is equalised with the pressure outside. If we change the pressure inside the bell or move the bell up or down with the hatch opened the water will going in or out as the pressure is changing.
