Bell internal check - Saturation dive - Egypt

[@ubernate860]

Even with a different language and the silly voice I was able to follow along with everything they were doing. That's how diligent, careful and orderly this profession runs their ship, so to speak... cool video, thanks!

[@ireneebekker4886]

Very cool! Great to see something like this that is rarely seen by the public

[@charlesmoura226]

Thanks for appreciating :-D

Hello Charles... Can we have permission to take screenshots of your video for training purposes?

[@charlesmoura226]

Hello! Yes, you have my permission. Thank you for asking and I'm very glad to help you with my video contents. Good luck !

Why is he alone in sat, that is very unusual to me

[@grosom31]

Is he not only running checks on the bell, you only need one person to do that i'd imagine his coworkers will be in the chamber drinking coffee and talking in a squeaky voice to one another!

[@timofeyserikof8397]

@@grosom31 Ridiculous explanation .. But not correct. He is a diving bell operator. Now he has prepared the bell for descent, then three people will enter the bell: - the operator, and divers, numbers one and two. The fourth diver will remain in the living diving compartment on the surface, while a group of three diver (operator and divers 1-2 the numbers will go to the ground together with the bell). Judging by his voice, he is breathing a helium-oxygen mixture, which means that the depth of the planned dive will be over 60 meters.

[@grosom31]

@@timofeyserikof8397 actually what I said was totally correct, he is in actual fact a diver, who is in rotation as the bell man, he is doing the pre decent check's on the bell to make sure everything is operational and all safety equipment is there, his co workers are in the chamber waiting for him to complete his checks probably drinking coffee, or tea, speaking to one another in a squeaky voice due to the heliox mixture of gasses they're breathing! So what that I said was incorrect?

[@timofeyserikof8397]

@@grosom31 I am 62 years old and I am no longer allowed to dive. But your explanation reminded me of the time when we were sitting in the pressure chamber, talking to each other in squeaky voices ... and also whooping when we caught nitrogen anesthesia ...

[@grosom31]

@@timofeyserikof8397 that's probably due to the fact that part of it was supposed to be humorous but if you don't have a sense of humor, or you never picked up that the squeaky voice part was a joke then I don't know what to tell you! Sounds like you're not a native British person maybe you dont get our humor!

[@gowdsake7103]

Please can ANYONE explain why he put that safety harness on NEVER attaching anything to it

[@charlesmoura226]

Hi! We use the safety harness inside the bell just for emergencies cases, if somebody have to rescue from there. Is not a work at height but is a confined space the and difficult for rescue. Inside the bell there is a man lif to attach the divers inside and send they down until the chamber when the bell is connected to the system. ;-)

[@jasonrobinson6878]

When the guy on the radio hears your voice, is it the helium voice or do they use a convertor/processor to remove the helium sound?

[@charlesmoura226]

There is an "helium speech unscrambler" usually used for deeper dives. For this depth the voice still a little bit understandable without any converters ;-)

I have always wondered, why are the doors numbered?

[@trading-university.]

Maybe so things are done in order? just a guess

[@AlejandroParis]

@@trading-university. Do you number your doors at home?

[@trading-university.]

@@AlejandroParis I dont live in a submerged death capsule

[@AlejandroParis]

@@trading-university. it's not submerged, but anyways, it's obvious numbers stablish an order or count things, but you don't need numbers to move around your home... that's why I wonder

[@charlesmoura226]

Each "door" have a number to identify it, to be sure that we are closing or opening the right valve to isolate or equalize different the different chambers. The saturation system have many chambers connected like a International Space Station and if we have any problem or emergency we must to be able to resolve those things quickly. :-)

Saturation dive? NO DIVE! You get thumb down!

[@riky_bet]

"Bell internal check" what's wrong with you?

[@timofeyserikof8397]

The usual bell check before diving. But, since the diver is already under pressure, he is considered to be on the so-called "dive". And the proof that the diver is under pressure is his voice - he is now breathing a helium-oxygen mixture. Breathing this mixture under atmospheric pressure would cause the diver to die.

[@rob16248]

@@timofeyserikof8397 Well, I didn't know that. I came here expecting to se an actual dive, in deep water. I was very disappointed.

[@timofeyserikof8397]

@@rob16248 I assume your frustration is objective. However, this video shows just how challenging deep diving is. The whole process is akin to flying into space.
