Commercial Diving Offshore | 10"Closing Spool Installation

Here's another video of us installing a 10" Closing Spool, We only manage to tie in 1 side of the spool. Hope you guys like the video, Please do like & Subscribe to my channel for more videos to come !! Thanks peeps !!

[@lowprofile2412]

As a retired pipe fitter and closed circuit diver I can really appreciate this guy

[@oldwardrobeexperiment]

Biggest respect for you guys - the unsung heroes of mankind! Much love from your humble NATO ally in Eastern Europe - Bulgaria!

[@hugorujeles87]

To start off, great content and wonderful visibility which makes it a joy to view. The only critique I have is not make the music so loud over the comm's between the diver's working together. During the long silences sure crank it up, but the comm's between the diver's can be interesting and educational too. 👍Keep it up, bring it on! 😁👌

[@garykanason]

thanks Hugo , yea will work on the music part, still need more experience in video editing .

[@merryjane7558]

To be honest, just the ocean sounds and no music would be okay too. I love how long this video is. I can have it playing while I work at my desk. Thank you for this! I have been searching for longer commercial dive videos and you delivered. Stay safe!

[@garykanason]

@@merryjane7558 Some videos I can leave the music out , but some the volume of us breathing in the Hat is way too loud , hence the music , thanks for the support ! really appreciate it ! Id be uploading some new videos soon! Hope you enjoy ..

Your job is definitely meaningful for us working down there.

Bro, that is nice job 👌 Respect from Russian commercial divers 🤝

[@garykanason]

Thanks Bro 💪🏼

[@JayHatton-d6p]

How things have changed from my time in the nineties but it's nice to see you youngsters and diving still being crazy

[@Ro9eR]

Nice dive bubbleheads. Brings back fond memories of my time as an underwater laborer.

[@garykanason]

Glad you enjoyed it Roger

[@bonniejohn6766]

i like how the fish just swiming around 😅😅

[@graceypatrick]

This is so awesome. I could watch this for hours. I’m going to school in October. I hope I get the chance to do this some day out in the field. These videos are great and so useful

[@garykanason]

thanks Bud,

[@denvercolorado811]

Wicked bad ass job man

[@jujutsuguru33]

Awesome video mate. As a former commercial diver it would be good to listen to you talking to the surface instead of the music - brings back some great memories though. Stay safe.

[@garykanason]

Thank you !,Appreciate it .. i did try .. but the volume of us breathing is sometimes annoying to non commercial divers ..

[@timothyrawson920]

I’m a recreational diver and I personally love the sound of breathing underwater it so soothing…..great video

That Shallowside song caught me off guard haha 🤘🏼

[@jackmcclure2308]

excellent visibility and depth to exhibit the process. Suggest less or muted music during diver/ diver and topside conversations. Having done a few of these makeups I was looking at your tool basket to understand how you prepared for the job. Good work.

[@UWfalcin]

That’s some nice vis. Good job!

[@garykanason]

Thanks!

[@shinnii3073]

Hey thanks for the insight in your job. I hope I can get to that level sometime as well. Love watching it thank you :D

most welcome bro

[@donkinzett3961]

Good clip mate,reality is it's usually zero his deep mud and the middle of the night so days like this make up for all the shit dives now 76 still miss the work

[@David-xw7bd]

I did something like this last year when I was offshore it was a tough dive

Приветствую Вас коммерческие водолазы! Я сам водолаз по жизни и мне посчастливилось поработать на Каспии на платформах водолазом! Удачи Вам и здоровья!!!

[@DrTWG]

Excellence cannot be rushed . Methodical & accurate . It's amazing how much incredible work goes on every single day , that people generally have no idea about . I'm not a diver . I'm guessing that it's natrual light so you are not too deep ? Are you ' in sat ' here . Forgive my ignorance , I'm just very curious.

[@garykanason]

its shallow waters and yes its natural light .. its not saturation diving .. just air diving.

[@DrTWG]

@@garykanason Thanks man.

[@ikhwanazhar3042]

Good bro, I really enjoy working in the water, I hope to be a diver one day🙏

[@garykanason]

You can do it!

[@ikhwanazhar3042]

@@garykanason thanks bro🙏🔥

[@Crosswizz]

I recently qualified and have been working on a fish farm for the last 2 months. I hope to get to where you are one day! It look complicated though, are you briefed in detail before you dive or is a supervisor just explaining what to do while your down there? Im getting excited just thinking about my first dive like this!

[@garykanason]

youd be briefed before the dive .. and the supervisors will guide you if needed ..

[@JayHatton-d6p]

At sixty would still love to go out to the rigs And weld without diving

[@carsonsjourney]

I love it dude!

[@garykanason]

I love it too !!

[@josephodafe1873]

Yha it looks really interesting compared to where you've got high concentration of current and waves, I can see the hoist chain is up and down... which makes the job an 80% safe already, the diver with the team for the remaining 20% .......

[@poione42]

Have a hell of a time keeping track of my equipment above ground.

[@futten3230]

why measure the gap between the flanges with a caliper?

[@americathefree3708]

Gulf of Mexico did that in zero vis. Sucks! Great job! 90's diver here.

[@CampDavid54]

Keep putting your hands between the two flanges Thanks, Darwin

[@AdamSandaver]

it was an "armless" mistake...

[@johnsvenningsen2489]

How does that “skillet” handle come out ?

[@samnnamani]

whenever metal is tensioned, my palm sweats.

[@poppetrurazvan3900]

Hi. Better add some charcuttier gloves. My best regards.

[@David-xw7bd]

Great visibility though

[@YumieLumie]

What was the complication arise around 30:00, and you pointing to the other end of the spool? Man voice comms would be awesome to hear

[@garykanason]

The spool was still bouncing very slightly and would have damaged the Gasket if we put it in the groove. I asked to come down on the crane. you might see it at the 29:35, Look inside the spool .. it jerked real quick.

[@tomskimcdouglegaming806]

Do you guys use dive watches or no?

[@maxblaszkiewicz1609]

Hey up mate. Love the graft - huge respect for this. I’m currently looking into getting into commercial diving trade in the UK. At the moment im a 24year old welder with some engineering experience and just hungry for more! What’s the longest job you’ve done? & silly question - get hungry much when your working down deep?

[@garykanason]

Longest so far was 4 months , any dive no matter deep or shallow, we be hungry for sure . Engineering background will look good on your CV when you submit it to offshore companies.

GOOD MORNING YIANNIS FROM GREECE. VERY USEFUL AND REALISTIC WORKING VIDEO, I HAVE A QUESTION, IF YOU ENTER 3 POINTS OF ATTRACTION, WOULD THE PIPE BE CENTERED TOP BOTTOM AND RIGHT LEFT?

[@garykanason]

Hey Yiannis , Thanks for your support, I'm sure it would be centred with the 3 points, Only it will definitely take up more of our Bottom time trying to put the 3rd point from under the pipe as we cant put it on the top. The top needs to be free for the gasket to get in.

[@ΓιαννηςΑραμπαλης-ρ2π]

[@spiderofthehood6127]

Love the videos man! I'm getting into diving and I'd love to do this for work someday, are you able to choose who you work with? My friend is interested as well.

[@garykanason]

you can choose as we a usually freelanced divers. but in the beginning, you need your experience and dive logs, that is difficult to choose. same way as any others jobs

[@denvercolorado811]

Look out for delta P dude!

[@LolLol-we5om]

This going to be my job later

[@jhonny2266z]

good video. I'm from Brazil and I have to go to the US to finish the courses. I would like to know if it is very difficult to reach saturation, how much more or less experience?

[@garykanason]

u need 200 offshore dive logs with different depths and hours .. thats it .. youd be good to go for sat.

[@stancohen845]

Why is there no use of washers or lock washers?

[@spearouys]

why such long studbolts?

[@akil5778]

Its bioteful work yas my work

[@somluck2813]

Why is there the alternating bolt arrangement? Long / short And the alternating nut arrangement? Nuts with dimples / nuts without dimples.

[@garykanason]

Its the setup for High Bolt Tensioning Equipment we use , You can find the video of me doing it on my channel.

[@DudaZachary]

How deep were you guys working? Im a commercial plumber, which im getting bored of. This looks way more thrilling....

[@shahrulzikri4818]

Is that beacon attached to the spool?

[@garykanason]

Its not a permanent, We remove it once the spool is in position.

Amazing footage…..shame about the choice of music

[@danbrit9848]

Other then scuba what other certifications would someone need to do this ...

[@smersh8383]

You don't need Scuba certs for commercial diving, you can go to school without any prior diving experience with no problem. Recreational & commercial diving are too very different things.

[@MORITEZZ]

Forgive me for asking this , but is commercial diving school hard ,easy or bearable I never did physics in highschool so would I be at a disadvantage ?

[@garykanason]

only disadvantage is failing your dive medical , and also if you're claustrophobic.
