Saturation divers can dive for extended periods of time (usually around 1 month) without surfacing

      Friend’s dad did this for years, made a lot of money.

      Asked him what it was like and he said in the most undramatic but melancholy way “lost a lot of friends.”

      It’s probably safer nowadays but it’s still an extremely dangerous job.

    2. Yeah that sounds like an actual nightmare for me, the living space of a prison cell and the knowledge there are a thousand things that could go wrong and there’s nothing I could do to control it. And then add in my general thassalophobia and it’s a big nope, dawg

      I did not know you could stay under for so long thats insane! I love diving but idk if i could do this. I bet they make some insane money

    4. Absofuckingloutley not. You can’t pay me enough money to go somewhere where there is no light and shit most people have never seen before lurking. Nope, nope and nope but on a lighter note, that guy is awesome 💪🏽and his job is amazing!

      I highly recommend the movie The Last Breath. It’s a true story about saturation divers and how dangerous the conditions are.

      Everyone is saying they get paid a ton but truthfully it’s not that much. In my opinion not nearly enough.

    6. Does the weightlessness affect their muscles or is the water enough to counterbalance any possible atrophy?

      This is a bit sensationalist. They do indeed surface. They live in their off time onboard a ship. They just live at pressure and breathe exotic gasses. They live in the human version of a habitrail.

      Still dangerous but not like you are underwater the whole time.

      Did anyone have a flashback of the old Delta-P video when he was unscrewing that valve?

      Incase anyone is interested, there’s a guy Chris Lemons – his story is wild.

      Last Breath (2025) is an action-thriller film based on the true story of Chris Lemons, a saturation diver trapped 300 feet below the North Sea with only minutes of oxygen. Starring Woody Harrelson and Simu Liu, the film depicts the 2012 incident where a vessel failure left a diver stranded in darkness, highlighting an incredible underwater rescue.

      I’ve read that deep sea divers get used to “things bumping them” in the dark while they are down there.

      Fuck. That.

    11. They surface every day at the end of their shift, but they live in a hyperbaric chamber in the support ship (over the surface).

    12. I don’t see any related videos on the OP’s page. Anyone know OP of the Video?
