Saturated : Diving and living at 50 meters

Saturated divers in Offshore Iran. While the inspection is easy, getting to the job takes some serious hardware and dedicated personnel. But the perks are worth it.

[@eagle077]

Congratulations to everyone involved in the operations and transmission of part of what is a saturated dive. Good luck in your work.

[@oceanscience2240]

American, Aussie, Indian, Canadian, all badasses once you reach the point of being a sat diver, you are in the club. I was a commercial diver for 25 years and never made it to their level and I respect them more than most because I understand what they actually do. God bless you guys, only astronauts can be compared to what you do.

[@justinscott6049]

Honestly crazy that the camera could withstand that much pressure

[@binoyrod1280]

I was using a Gopro. which is rated for 40m, so to take it to 70meters, which was our seabed depth, I pressurised it without taking a seal, in the chamber, so effectively making the 50m pressure in our chamber ambient pressure for the camera, so then I could use it on the bottom, as it would only be 20m effectively, or 3 bars of pressure.

Any tips for someone who is young?

[@aighti]

Hi, I'm 29, and don't know what I want to do with my life, I'm not satisfied right now. I like danger, and working with my hands. (I'm smart but also have ADD). Last two months I really started thinking about commercial diving like SAT diving etc. Now the last few weeks I'm pretty positive I want to go in this direction. I don't have diving experience whatsoever. I have found a divers training here in Holland (where I live), one in Norway, and some others. The one in Hollands is more expensive, but maybe also better? Do you have any tips for me? Ofcourse my condition has to be good I suppose. What was your path in becoming a commercial diver?

[@raimonboon7811]

​@@aightiHave you started training?

[@madams1690]

I have been diving for over 20 years in many different areas, IMO civil and sat divers are at the most risk. Sat for obvious reasons in this video and civil because in most cases zero viz with heavy equipment on the hard makes navigation on the bottom challenging for the divers. As in anything in diving communication with a sharp DPIC running the prime and subs is critical. As the saying goes “give the diver whatever he asks for except death”, stay safe men and stay alert, stay alive!

[@deathzmane7188]

How many sat divers typically pass every year within the field? I’ve heard it’s a lot

[@cLokki]

It's not, it used to be 5-10 per year in the 70s, now it's supposed to be abot 0-2 per year according to a sat diver statement on a documentary

[@bigri8032]

​@cLokki probably another more the ones in Australia's didn't have mandatory injury or death reports till a couple of years ago

[@SniperMan5858]

Are their voices like that the entire time they're in the tank?!

[@Chroniknight]

If I'm not mistaken, ya, theres helium in there

[@AlejandroParis]

They are breathing Heliox, a mix of Oxigen and Helium, mainly Helium. It is done this way because when they are exposed to high pressures, higher amounts of the gasses they breath dilute into their blood and tissues. If they were breathing air, the Nitrogen (78% aprox) would cause them nitrogen narcosis (they would get kinda high and they could "overdose", in a nutshell). Instead, air is replaced by Heliox, which is less dangerous for them... and gives them funny voices as well due to its lower density

[@jakobschubert4106]

Hey one question, is sat diving usually done open cirquit or is it a closed system with co2 absorband etc.?

[@binoyrod1280]

It's a closed circuit. Mainly to conserve the Helium. So yes, CO2 is scrubbed out and O2 injected to make up the required percentage

[@jakobschubert4106]

I don't understand how do they come in and out without water entering their ships

[@Martoozle]

The dive bell gets detached from the habitation module on ship. It stays pressurized to the depth they're working at and the send it down to the depth and then they divers can swim out from the bell.

Matt B that’s actually a big misconception.in the diving world there’s actually a thing called “work expectancy” which is usually from 18-40 , because at the age of 40 most divers have trouble passing the required physical.

[@klixtrio7760]

@@ryba7846 they go back to the surface but the diving bell they stay in remains under pressure. Don’t think there’s any tables, there’s probably too many variables. Different gases, lots of different depths, etc. I do know though the Aquarius habitat are saturation divers. They are at 62ft in the ocean and it takes 17 hours of decompression before returning to the surface.

[@ryba7846]

@@klixtrio7760 yes exactly its 17 hours of deco so therefore there is deco stops, there is no avoiding deco if u are not liquid breathing or diving in a submarine

[@gglreallysucks5512]

No there are no decompression stops. That’s not how it works. They stay at the specified pressure in living quarters on the ship. So they don’t do their stops under water.

What keeps the water out @8:50

[@FordFalcon54]

Air pressure with no where for it to go. If you take goggles when you're swimming or a bottle turn it so the bottom stays perpendicular to the bottom (goggles use the side you put your face into) and fully submerge it. It won't fill up with water because the air is trapped forcing the water to stay out

[@gokibros4451]

@@FordFalcon54 Thanks!
