Thank you for not putting the music over this video

I think some cheesy royalty-free "dubstep" sounds would have really added to the vibe

[@josedgr25]

Oh lord, Yes

[@ericpelfresne869]

Hydraulics and pneumatics are our friends. 😂 Good work!

[@longinogiorda34]

Fully agree,in or out of water!

[@isamarpineda2844]

Thank you for posting a video of your work. I've been trying to find one that doesn't romanticize the job. Makes me love it even more.😊

[@garykanason]

I'm glad you like it

[@longinogiorda34]

Having done the same kind of job,it is a huge physical exertion,I could almost feel it.Damn! The client did not want that???BS!

Love that technology there, boy...LOL

[@garykanason]

I said the same thing , some clients don't allow Impact wrenches on their pipelines .. Amazing stupidity ha ..

Question, why do not use an hydraulic hammer ?

[@YumieLumie]

Thats a tough work. Does your head sweat while doing that hard work underwater

[@madcarew5168]

Flogging spanners next!!

[@andygray4418]

Hard days work.

[@MarkSmith-mv2rk]

I’m surprised Australian clients allow bridging bolts still . Most contractors have steered away from them because they can randomly let go . We use through hole come along’s for a more controlled separation. I’m guessing there weren’t any pigs in the head ? Didn’t see any lacing rope . Nicely done on the whole though . Good job

[@garykanason]

Hey Mark , it wasn't an Australian client, it was in the middle east. it was my first time removing a lay down head too . there wasn't any pigs in the head. its funny they that they didn't allow us to use impact wrenches too. thanks by the way, appreciate it

Hey Gary commercial diving is a dream job for me can u give me any advice on how to specifically get into offshore diving

[@garykanason]

Hey Brendan , Find a Commercial Dive School near you . I Did mine in Australia.

[@montage.brothers2659]

Did you work as a tender before becoming a diver and if so for how long? Love the videos!

[@garykanason]

No I did not , Only in the US you have to be a Tender for a year or 2 before becoming a Diver. I did my license in Australia.

[@montage.brothers2659]

@@garykanason ok thank you for the information I’ll be going to school for mine in 2 months and I’ve been very interested in offshore diving.

[@MORITEZZ]

@@montage.brothers2659 may I ask where will u be doing your course ,is it in South Africa?

[@montage.brothers2659]

@@MORITEZZ no I’m going to school in the US out of Florida

[@longinogiorda34]

Use of a pneymatic or hydraulic gun for unscrewing ,is feasible?

[@garykanason]

Client did'nt allow it.

[@alexeymishurovskiy4622]

I know this hammer!

[@garykanason]

hahahaha yes you do

[@dannycreech4177]

Unscrew the nut instead of trying to turn the rusted long bolt ! Work smarter not harder.

[@tlcrecruitermy600poundlife3]

they need to make an underwater impact

[@ttgk8506]

They exist. Some clients do now allow the use of impact guns on their pipelines

[@lowprofile2412]

nice video man I always enjoy your video and you give me hope that one day I will be working like you please I just finish my level ll in Egypt now I'm in Dubai looking for inland diving jobs do you know any company in UAE that I can Apply two company ask me for IMCA of wish I don't have pls any information will be helpful thanks

[@garykanason]

hey bro, try to go get you IMCA License, its the only way you can apply for jobs offshore. No offshore company will hire a non IMCA certified diver. I would suggest you gather more than 200 Dive logs inland, and apply for a RPL course. Its a shorter course and it cost less.

[@Diogosantoscanal]

Hello, love your videos! Quick question. When you say in some comments of your videos that as long as it is imca we are good, do you mean certificates? or the school itself? Because I've been looking at NYD in Norway, which seems the best to attend according to where I live. But I've asked them what certificates they issue at the end of the course, and they've replied this: Petroleumstilsynet (Ptil) Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA): Class 1 - Surface orientated diver. This diving certificate is internationally recognized for surface supplied diving offshore to 50 meter by all the relevant organisations and national authorities included IMCA, HSE, NDC, ADAS, DCBC, SGM etc. Arbeidstilsynet (Lsa): Certificate Class-B. This cert is recognised for inshore diving in Norway. International Diving Schools Association (IDSA) Level-3. This cert is internationally recognised for inshore diving . Norwegian school of Commercial Diving. NYD Class-1. Certificate is issued by the school and describes the holders level of competence.

[@garykanason]

Hey , So , Other than working in the States , Everywhere else offshore requires your cert to be under the compliance of IMCA . It can be any cert from any school.

[@Diogosantoscanal]

@@garykanason Thank you for your answer!

[@repalmore]

I don't know who setup this job but for sure I would have rigged up some sort of hydraulic drive. Even if it's hand operated. Don't work harder, work smarter.

[@garykanason]

We did request for Impact wrench , but the client didnt allow hydraulics , but they were ok with Hydratights , weird ..

[@michaelangel1275]

We use an impac wrench in America. Let's go brandon

[@garykanason]

Not all clients allows it on their pipelines bro

[@billsixx]

You'd just think they would have a hydraulic tool to remove the bolts. Clubbing at the wrench doesn't seem to be very effective/efficient.

[@AdamSandaver]

try setting up the hydraulics to this depth then recovering them is another story even if they are on a winch. Usually the bolts are ok once cracked open.

[@garykanason]

The Client didnt allow any hydraulic tools on their pipelines , Stupid but cant go against them Im guessing

[@longinogiorda34]

Sorry, disregard the previous message.

[@ahmedesaam4265]

Next time increase your weight belt bro make equal with the heavey Hammer you will Got good result to Disconnect the nut and you will safe more time

[@garykanason]

Thanks for the tip

[@shaneward6689]

That's fucking criminal to make ya remove those without a hydraulic tool.

[@garykanason]

Totally agree with you there bro.
