Saturation Diving - all bell run movie (scenes ''behind the work")

Almost all scenes are inside a diving saturation system, covering all bell run on 26th September 2020, and few images in the water at 78msw, with poor visibility.
This video is to show quickly the routine of a dive team inside the chambers/bell but there are a lot of peaple working outside to keep everything functional and safe.
Storage depth: 68msw
Botton depth: 78msw
Gas breathing: heliox

I’m surprised they make suits big enough for the gigantic balls these dudes have. Hats off to you gentlemen.

[@philmenzies2477]

They do. You can see it @1:00 It denotes Extra, extra large testicles!

[@gordslater]

It's not as bad as you think under pressure the balls crumle down to a manageable size so they can be crammed into the suit and held in place with leg loops. One tiny leak though and it's an international pollution incident with jizz all over the place - they have to deploy those big floating booms to scoop it all up or the beaches would be covered in it.

[@charleskoerkel4312]

I dive for a living doing leak detection and repairs underwater for all types of swimming pools, Working in water temps around 35 degrees in the winter is brutal, I give these men credit im very comfortable under water but this type of diving makes me nervous, much respect!

[@daddio159]

Omg right. I have a friend who did underwater welding ( I don’t know enough to really know all he used to do while sat diving) It looks so scary to me, but he said they never even think about what dangers there may be. He’s since retired. I am still amazed at this kind of work.

The guy singing in helium voice was pretty amusing. It was really hard to understand them, even to what language is was (Italian?).

Thanks - the Netflix show ' Last Breath ' sparked an interest in 'sat' diving . I'm an MD so the physiology/physics & medical aspects I find fascinating . Diving medicine is almost non-existent in the undergraduate curriculum beyond decompression sickness/bends/Caisson disease. I noticed that the umbilicals looked patched up with duct tape in places - presumably because they uncoil - is that normal I wonder ?

[@charlesmoura226]

We use the tape to tide up the sacrifical cables used to connect the helmet (comms, light and camera cables) in the end of the umbilical. Also is possible to see using it to add something to change the buoyancy of the umbilical or only to have some marks to know the length of umbilical already deployed outside the bell (we use red and black tapes sign the length each 5 meters).

How do you go to the toilet on those depths? (; please enlighten me, i am curious to know

[@charlesmoura226]

Hello! We have a toilet inside the chamber were we can seat and do everything there, more or less as a normal WC :-). The big difference is that inside the chamber we have the pressure higher than the atmosphere pressure. So, when we need to flush, the assistant of the Life Support Technician open the flush valve outside the chamber and we open the valves (usually 2 for safety reasons) insede there to permit that the pressure go out emptying the WC. At the end all valves must be closed again. Outside the chamber there is a small cylinder to receive everything from the WC under pressure, in this way also if all valves still opened there is just a small volume of gas able to go out. Otherwise should be possible decompress the system accidentally. Other systems have a "cover" for the WC properly made to isolate it from the chamber when is closed to empty it, to prevent this problem. Anyway, is better be careful to don't be sucked out through the hole! :-D
