SATURATION DIVING - Using hydratight tensioners - Amazing visibility

[@mr_b_hhc]

My father used to be a saturation driver in, as he described it, the wild west era of the 80's. Never have I had more respect for him than after watching your videos, thank you for showing me a glimpse something I never thought I would see.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

Is your dad still alive???

[@Antarath]

My father was a saturation diver in the north sea for 19 years. 1983-2002. Then he worked as a supervisor for 15 years. I wouldn't want to be one, but I'd like to try it!

[@ypaulbrown]

an amazing view into a world very few will ever see. thank you so much for letting us see what you do....fantastic, cheers from USA, Paul

[@charlesmoura226]

I appreciated to much your comments and I'm so happy to see that some people, like you, are interested to watch my videos. I'll try to do more when will be possible ;-) Cheers!

[@ypaulbrown]

@@charlesmoura226 Thank you so much......it is so interesting, I would rather watch you divers that the astronaughts in space, I feel your job is much more difficult. Best Wishes from FLORIDA, USA, Paul

[@frankierzucekjr]

@@charlesmoura226 I agree. I just found this page like 2 days ago and just learned that it's not robots, that real men go down this far to do what most people wouldn't. Very cool

[@EndrChe]

Read the description, and I can say that I am glad you included the checklist. It really is interesting.

[@LordGingerBerry]

Their high pitched voices almost make me forget they have balls of *STEEL* , you have my respect!

[@charlesvick5]

It was great to see the bell check and just how packed it is. And the underwater view was incredible!! Really cool to see the camera just under the bell, looking up and in. Thank you for sharing this.

[@charlesmoura226]

I'm happy that you appreciated it! Thanks! ;-)

[@AdamSandaver]

Very rare to have such great viz. I only ever has clouds of silt and mud. haha, all the best , dive safe.

[@gcm747]

What a great look into an amazing industry. You guys deserve every dollar you make (and I hope it’s good). Viz is brilliant for the depth but that must be the exception.

[@rykehuss3435]

That is one extreme work site you got there.. Kudos

[@shriomsingh653]

Very happy to see you ❤ I am also a SAT DIVER dive up to 233 mtrs of depth🎉🎉

[@fadelabdurrahman3469]

I wonder how those in the control room took this job seriously while their partner in the sat chamber spoke like Daffy Duck 😆

Seus vídeos são irados! Parabéns pelo trabalho! Sabia da existência da função, mas nunca tinha visto como era realmente. Muito legal.👏👏

Fico feliz que você tenha gostado! ;-)

[@Caesar.Aquanaut]

2 questions I never got my head around are 1) how do they pee, I mean, is there a P-valve available just like drysuit diver use? 2) How do they keep themselves hydrated being working underwater for hours?

[@dr.zoidberg4313]

You have all the pieces. you just need to put them together. Pee is recycled into the mouth via tubing.

[@Caesar.Aquanaut]

[@MrElaguatero5]

They use wet suits with hot water circulation...no problem to pee..

[@mikesfarmmikesfarm3977]

why is the bell not on the sea floor ? In rough water does a automatic winch keep the bell at certain depth ? or bell man get sea sick

[@lanzek9138]

the bell reminds me of soyuz capsule! you guys are like an underwater astronaut! massive respect

@@charlesmoura226 hey mate do you need any experience apart from diving? Like are you a qualified welder or mechanic/fitter? Or can you just gain the diving knowledge and learn the rest on the job?

[@zoozolplexOne]

Interesting !!!

[@bvihari]

Salve Charles, @10:30 when you open the bottom hatch, this is the open water straight where you are going to work, or some airlock chamber?

[@charlesmoura226]

hello @balazs vihari ! There is the open water straight to work at the same pressure we have inside the chamber. We use the bell to move from the chamber to the work site without any decompression, and then we can open the hatch and go out to work :)

[@bvihari]

@@charlesmoura226 yess, meanwhile I googled it, and it's very simple idea (however the realisation is much harder :) ) I salute you and your work, but mainly all the efforts where we can get to know more about this kind of job.

[@christianciotti]

Bellissimo video!!! Che posto è? Su cosa stavano lavorando??

[@patrickmulholland1840]

REALLY AMAZING INSTANT SUBBED EXCELLENT EXPIERIANCE

[@Centermass007]

Is there any experience requirements u need for saturation diving? Like I know you need schooling and training to even try and get the job but can you land a job straight out of schooling? Cause this seems really interesting to me it’s just I can’t find much about this only underwater welding stuff pops up

[@charlesmoura226]

To be a saturation diver you must to have already some experience as Air Diver. Usually you have to work long as diver to get a opportunity to go in saturation. If the company that you work as diver have air and sat jobs this pass from air to saturation diver may be easier.

[@Centermass007]

@@charlesmoura226 oh ok that sounds good then, thank you for the help.

[@freeradical6390]

Its a Chipmunk Christmas!

[@WebDevCody]

So what exactly are you doing down there? Fastening things together? What’s down at 108 meters that needs work on?

[@grantdillon3420]

Usually oil pipelines

[@charlesmoura226]

Fastening oil and gas pipelines ;-)

[@UWfalcin]

I know this isn’t the way but I’ve worked as an inshore commercial diver for 2 years now and I am still seriously focused on doing saturation diving. If you got a trip you don’t wanna hop onto juste give me a shout😆

[@nadzirahfarhah3423]

Why would people do this? Keep yourself safe pls dont go to the extreme you dont need to

[@UWfalcin]

Because you want to challenge yourself and not be scared of irrational fear, you want to leave your instinctive animal mind and overcome it. It's a different job and therefor interesting. It's also very well paid and the absolute pinnacle of commercial diving. This is not as dangerous as it looks, some say saturation diving is actually the safest form of commercial diving due to all the extreme supervision and safety precautions.@@nadzirahfarhah3423

[@tgmengenharia6678]

Já teve algum contato com animais grandes durante o mergulho ou eles não se aproximam do local? Tem algum procedimento específico pra isso?

[@charlesmoura226]

Somente garoupa e peixe-lua.... Maior que esses não vi ainda. Até porque é raro pra mim trabalhar em lugares onde se tenha uma boa visibilidade. Melhor assim. O que os olhos não vêem... :-D

[@frankierzucekjr]

Man this is so fascinating. I'm surprised you guys can get back to the ship with balls that big and heavy lol. More of a man than I am. I do really enjoy watching this. I actually just learned about saturation diving the other day. How long do you guys have to stay in your tank thing?

[@charlesmoura226]

Do you mean how long do we have to stay in the hyperbaric chamber? Usually 28 to 30 days.... Including the decompression. Should be the maximum running days allowed for this job for each saturation

[@msain427]

I don't think I could handle it the helium voice the claustrophobia all day all night

[@koenigolivier]

extraordinaire wowwwwww

[@ufkls]

Are those checks randomized? Do they ask you those questions in different orders every time, so you don’t develop a habit?

[@igorvoskanyan72]

If this is the capsule going down, it would be doing this no more frequently than once every few months..hard to develop a habit..

How do saturation divers get waken up? Do u guys set ur own alarms?

[@sparklessconnectionselectrical]

How long is the decompression time from that depth?

[@Makeitliquidfast]

Kirby Morgan was there

[@MuhammadSaleem-xp7ds]

I m 34 years old.. is still beneficial for me to jump in commercial diving field for better career

[@hayatel2557]

No it's too late for that type of diving unless you want to dive in harbours and dams most of the time not more than 60 M. Leisure scuba diving instructor will be a better choice

[@linam8440]

How does the water not fill up in the bell when the hatch opens?

[@charlesmoura226]

Because the pressure inside the bell is equalised with the pressure outside. If we change the pressure inside the bell or move the bell up or down with the hatch opened the water will going in or out as the pressure is changing.

[@thobithpaul2172]

from which institude did you study air and saturated diving.I would also like to come to this field

[@yuri60519]

Io lo farò presto, puoi rivolgerti al CEDIFOP a Palermo ;) io farò domanda li😊

[@photorailfan]

Stupid question. Would you think a mans height would shrink over time from the constant pressure of inner space?

[@ats-3693]

Do the three guys rotate the job as bellman, or is that his job permanently?

[@charlesmoura226]

Yes, we rotate and change the job each bell run :-)

Ad ogni campanata. Così siamo sicuri che la squadra di prima, dopo il lavoro, non ha toccato niente per sbaglio o che non sia stato perso o danneggiato qualcosa. E poi è anche un buon esercizio per ricordare dove sta tutto 😅

[@alanbible3225]

Great to see the chipmunks are ok

[@fish3313]

The way how to tell if they are saturation divers, is if they have a high chipmunk voice. HELIUM!!!!! They use safe gas to adapt to the pressure.

There’s a pretty hilarious video where Rocko the badass has to defend himself with his knife and a 2 foot sharpened rebar against a fish that makes the big mistake of attacking him

[@jingalls9142]

This is kinda similar. Have a buddy who did pipeline welding under the sea in the Gulf of Mexico. I guess barracuda are attracted to the bright light of the weld...he said he's look to the side and a 6 foot Cuda would be staring at the light...in a trance...with their giant ass teeth. Lol nope. Nope nope nope.

[@justaguy4real]

So crazy theyd explode if the was a pressure failure somehow. Wonder if it feels weird or anything other than just voices. So weird, and sad, fatal decompression could happen so easily by simply not properly closing any particular door/latch and without anyone knowing it happened. Def horrific. They're inside living normally and then poof they're basically exploded instantly.

in my opinion, the amount they get paid to do this job is not quite enough…
