Ninian South. North Sea. Diggers.

[@keithgales8856]

Wow that brought back memories. I dived on Ninian South in 1980 off the Seaway Swan doing pipe installation and attaching anodes.

[@liketrumpets07]

amazing footage! that angle in which it's filmed is almost like a 3rd person computer game. Just on the second read through of Diver - cheers for the insight Tony. Even though i knew what was coming from the Capnot story i still burst out with laughter!

[@Groupie59]

Glad you're enjoying it James.

You all probably dont care but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any help you can offer me

[@johnathanronnie7496]

@Jayson Fisher instablaster ;)

[@jaysonfisher1041]

@Johnathan Ronnie i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jaysonfisher1041]

@Johnathan Ronnie It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@jamesellison6154]

Wouldn't have ever imagined the vis being that good in the North Sea!

[@paulsaunders6536]

Gin clear midwater. Gets very green when the plankton drifts through, almost no current to speak of, tidal rise and fall is minimal in the Ninian Field. I dived on all 3 Platforms between 1984-1986. We even had a diving bell operating between the Jarlon wall and the central column on Ninian Central. Interesting times, short bursts of hyper activity punctuated by long periods of unemployment. A few divers made a very comfortable living the rest of us struggled to get by. 3-4 months work was a good season for an air diver back then. £15-18k a year. These days a saturation diver earns around £35k per month in sat, before tax at 40%. Nice work if you can get it, most can’t. Very little air diving offshore these days, it’s all sat.

Some guys have all the fun and don’t have to work much and get paid the big bucks!

[@bluedinero3055]

Id be too scared of a giant kraken finding me 😭

[@dan2665]

Good to see the underwater Roustabouts, pity a small ROV machine now does all their work.

[@cmomofilm]

I've worked in drilling on all the Ninians, just watched Last Breath on Netflix. I'd rather be on the platform! lol

an Acergy Tiger with a SIT camera that still works!

Esses Profissionais podem meche Com Máquinas Subaquáticas.??

Sim

[@williamstilson7207]

Where is/ what is this?

[@alexmacdiver]

"Ninian South" is an Oil platform in the Northsea. The vertical tubes are "conductors" which are part of the process of getting the oil out of the seabed.

[@thenightmomstalker]

so where is he ?

[@alanmccluskey114]

On the hookup in the seventies for willy walton

[@UWfalcin]

Amazing. :) This is what I’m working atm to become.

[@Groupie59]

Go for it Dee[ Sea.

[@paulsaunders6536]

Good luck. For every diver on 100k plus a year there’s a hundred that can’t even get a start offshore. Quite a few of the old hands are just that. Old. 50-60 is not uncommon. It’s a great job if you can get the work. Be prepared for long periods of unemployment and perpetual disappointment, unless you are related to an offshore diving manager. If you aren’t you’ve got an uphill struggle in front of you.

[@UWfalcin]

@@paulsaunders6536 I’m in the industry nowadays, inshore that is. My impression of meeting sat divers is that it is definitely not impossible

[@UWfalcin]

@@paulsaunders6536 My colleague who goes offshore a few times a year has work at the company I work for now whenever he comes home so I’m not sure feast or famine is a thing in Sweden. Here we are fully employed divers working 7-4 and going home every evening.

[@salomaomoura1649]

Merecem Ganha mais Dinheiro do que Astronauta Pelo fato Dessa Profissão Ser mais!! Perigosa do Mundo que o Espaço.🌎🎠🌈

[@vz9519]

Astronauta é MUITO concorrido, enquanto o mergulho comercial não for muito conhecido e mais concorrido, acho que não vai subir o salário

[@nickhajek3807]

No bubbles out of exhaust?

[@kf8575]

Theyre breathing Heliox, what they exhale is taken back through part of their umbilical to the ship, and put through scrubbers, to remove the CO2 and recycle it. Helium (therefore heliox, which is a blend of Helium and Oxygen) is an expensive gas lol

[@frogsgottalent1106]

The gas is ' Reclaimed ' . Because Heliox is expensive, the gas returns up a hose within the umbilical bundle.

[@paulsaunders6536]

If saturation divers exhaled to the ocean you’d need another vessel along side the DSV just to carry the gas.

[@grahamroberts465]

I was on that platform 1991-1993, never saw it from that angle!
