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.
This has gotta be one of the most terrifying jobs in the world. Not to mention the mental strain of living in such a confined space for so long at a time.
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!
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.

I was a sat diver for twenty years. Retired from the water at 45 and went dive supervising. Plenty still dive into their fifties. 30 is nothing yer still a baby.
I'm actually planning to be commercial diver at 30.

Thank you so much for producing an absolutely outstanding video without any of that disgusting sick idiotic background noise pollution that owners of these channels call, music. It ain’t.

I am currently in school for commercial diving. Go be a tender for awhile then make my way to France for Sat school, or if Scotland sat school reopens I'll go there! In my first month studying physics and medicine
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 ?
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).
I do my first commercial Dive with Alessandro , in 2004 and my first sat in Angola with Fabrizio in 2008 I can't believe they still going in Sat and how small world , the fact you work with them so funny, I live in the USA and I work for Oceaneering now I left Europe & European companies in 2011 never worked again with CNS they give hard time to pay divers..
Man those waters are beautiful. Perfectly clear. Anyone know what part of world they're in? Some of those divers, dive really nasty looking green water that you can barely see in.
At first i ought their voice were digitally modified or something. But i realized it were helium+oxigen environment when i heard someone talking from radio.
lol, I forgot about the Helium voice problem. I'd have a really hard time; I've got trouble hearing high pitched sounds. So, I'd be incredibly frustrating to talk to.
When you're trained as a saturation diver are you also trained as an engineer, or do you receive briefs once on the ship about what your task is and exactly what to do?
We receive a brief before each dive and we must to follow the task plan for the job. Also we follow instructions from the supervisor that still on surface in the diving control, some times with the Client Rep and engineer too.
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.
Well... it is somewhere around $150 grand a year just to go and work in one of the most terrifying, yet coolest places that you cannot even see in. (That is for the 2000 ft saturation dive jobs, not like this 300ft one)
@Gwarguts Almost of the mix is helium and only a small percentage is oxygen (smaller than the percentage of oxygen on surface because the partial pressure of the gases increase with the depth and the oxygen became toxic if you have to much)
That's a good summary of the various stages of a bell run. Sounds like you are speaking Portuguese? So must be Brazil yes? I was there on Subsea 7 mayo in 1999.
Does someone wanna explain to me, why Astronauts dont use a similar air/gas delivery system? Seems like it would be very beneficial to have a good tether/air delivery system in space ha.
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
@@charlesmoura226 Ah, I thought it was because there's a room down there which has the hatch to exit to the ocean which is closed before the one in the bell is opened so that way only that room is filled with water. That's an even cooler fact that it's actually the air pressure which stops the ocean from filling the whole diving bell!
GoPro hero 5. The pressure is not a problem for the camera, because we bring it open in the hyperbaric chamber to allow the pressure going in and we just close the camera to go in the water. In that way the pressure outside the camera is just a little bit higher than inside :-)
Great vid, tks for posting. How does the baillout works? You remove your helmet and breath from a regulator like when having a failure in a full face mask?
Hello! The bailout is connected to the helmet through a Kirby Morgan Side block. If we go out of main gas from the umbilical we only need to open the emergency valve on the side block. ;)
Dovresti caricarne degli altri! Su youtube non si trova nulla che abbia la qualità dei tuoi video. Se poi li caricassi su instagram avrebbero ancora più visibilità! Credo che in Italia davvero in pochi conoscano questo lavoro ed è positivo che ci sia tu a raccontarcelo. Spero davvero di vedere altri documenti ! Bravissimo! A presto, R.
no, for a saturation diver the surface "does not exist", the only place the diver can return without dying is the diving bell, even in the event of an accident where the bell is separated from the ship and falls to the bottom of the ocean (it is an extremely rare event), if there are divers on the outside they have to return to the diving bell, there is no other option.
Because the pressure inside the bell is the same at the depth outside the hatch. Then we can control the level increasing or decreasing the pressure inside
It looks to me either a KM 97 Stainless Steel, or a KM 37 SS, but it's hard to see, Kirby Morgan now has several models made in 316 Stainless Steel, the stainless steel helmet, it is not an idea from KM, the idea was copied from Gorski, a company with origin in Poland, now I think it is part of the aqualung group, look for Gorski G3000SS
Ho aperto solo oggi questo video nonostante le profondità e l'essere umano in profondità mi affascina e mi spaventa allo stesso tempo. Ho realizzato dopo qualche min che foste italiani, e non capivo per quale motivo aveste modificato le voci solo dei divers, poi ho letto che respirate elio. Ero solo curioso di una cosa, respirate h24 elio quando si lavora a quelle profondità per tutto quel tempo? Uomini con le palle quadrate. "Quasi quattro tonnellate perchè ci sono tre picche dentro" Se ho capito bene.
You guys obviously don't suffer from claustrophobia. :-) I've been to Italy so many times that I hear you guys speaking (and singing 😂) in Italian, despite the helium voices, but where was this dive located? Thanks for sharing!
My buddy said that they get high off the oxygen tank because its mixed its not only oxygen while diving. His wife's first time diving she got real buzzed after and when they were driving home they passed an ambulance and she started screaming that they took her body they had to turn around to go get it lol. He didn't turn around but had to listen to her trip out for a bit. Lolz. I wonder if these guys get buzzed and work while buzzed. Must be scary sometimes your mind can play tricks on you when you're straight I wouldn't want to be all buzzed out down there.
The blood become sparkling as the hot bottle of coke when opened after been shaked. All saturated gases in our body goes out from the tissues producing boils and we die :-/
I bet women would make good saturation divers due to their endurance and that they have more protective fat to keep them warm. The downside is they aren’t as strong as men.
It's good to hear that Alvin and the Chipmunks are still together after so many years.
life's a gas

Because the pressure inside the bell (the smal chamber used to go in the water) is the same of the pressure at the deepth in the water. :-)
@@charlesmoura226 Makes sense. Thanks
Airlock basically the water can't come as the air has nowhere else to go
@@charlesmoura226 Ah, I thought it was because there's a room down there which has the hatch to exit to the ocean which is closed before the one in the bell is opened so that way only that room is filled with water. That's an even cooler fact that it's actually the air pressure which stops the ocean from filling the whole diving bell!
None of my working dives ever had that nice of water.
ever since learning about the Byford Dolphin accident, this is so scary to me
Dont worry because in his new year is no one accident all of is because the engineer was fixing about that
Nice footage, which GoPro u used to record the video? Clearly it can withstand hyperbaric pressure
GoPro hero 5. The pressure is not a problem for the camera, because we bring it open in the hyperbaric chamber to allow the pressure going in and we just close the camera to go in the water. In that way the pressure outside the camera is just a little bit higher than inside :-)
They're like full grown white smurfs with their voices so high due to the chemical in their pods🤣🤣
Es el helio lo que produce hablar como el pato Donald
Great vid, tks for posting. How does the baillout works? You remove your helmet and breath from a regulator like when having a failure in a full face mask?
Hello! The bailout is connected to the helmet through a Kirby Morgan Side block. If we go out of main gas from the umbilical we only need to open the emergency valve on the side block. ;)
im 17 and im highschool still but after i get out i wanna become a sat diver it looks very cool and very interesting any tips on how to get in?
Start looking at diving schools and check the requirements.
this is a real astronautas the spaceman.
Have you guys ever encountered shark attacks or any other Marine life attacks? Or has there been a history of such things in your field?
Yes, that's why our voices sound the way they do
Wish our water was as clear as that
You think they would.make the bell bigger
Dove siete?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ma quanto è bella la campanellaaaaaaaa😂😂😂
Questo era l'anno scorso. Io sono adesso in Nigeria e gli altri due ragazzi in Azerbaijan :-)
Mi piace che tu abbia apprezzato :-D
Dovresti caricarne degli altri! Su youtube non si trova nulla che abbia la qualità dei tuoi video. Se poi li caricassi su instagram avrebbero ancora più visibilità!
Credo che in Italia davvero in pochi conoscano questo lavoro ed è positivo che ci sia tu a raccontarcelo.
Spero davvero di vedere altri documenti !
Bravissimo!
A presto,
R.
@@charlesmoura226 sat divers gente strana ;)
Is it possible to leave there for a quick swim without the gear??
Yeah, but just once.
no, for a saturation diver the surface "does not exist", the only place the diver can return without dying is the diving bell, even in the event of an accident where the bell is separated from the ship and falls to the bottom of the ocean (it is an extremely rare event), if there are divers on the outside they have to return to the diving bell, there is no other option.
That would be the fucking dumbest shit ever to do 100+ meters underwater holy fuck
How do they open the hatch before getting in the water? Keep it level?
Because the pressure inside the bell is the same at the depth outside the hatch. Then we can control the level increasing or decreasing the pressure inside
The new minions movie looks so realistic...
dude this is my dream job im on my way to getting in i just need my hours for the course
Do they sound like that because of the helium mix?
Yes... But also because the pressure inside the chamber is higher than the pressure at the sea level.
Nice , I like this
Hi
I did this in the eighties please I recognise the 17s
But what is the silver hat. Regards
The silver hat is a new helmet from Kirby Morgan with a Reclaim System build from themselves (Kirby Morgan - Diamond). ;-)
It looks to me either a KM 97 Stainless Steel, or a KM 37 SS, but it's hard to see, Kirby Morgan now has several models made in 316 Stainless Steel, the stainless steel helmet, it is not an idea from KM, the idea was copied from Gorski, a company with origin in Poland, now I think it is part of the aqualung group, look for Gorski G3000SS
This is so cool to watch. Are they wearing dry suits?
Thanks! No.. we dress a hot water suites
Ho aperto solo oggi questo video nonostante le profondità e l'essere umano in profondità mi affascina e mi spaventa allo stesso tempo. Ho realizzato dopo qualche min che foste italiani, e non capivo per quale motivo aveste modificato le voci solo dei divers, poi ho letto che respirate elio. Ero solo curioso di una cosa, respirate h24 elio quando si lavora a quelle profondità per tutto quel tempo?
Uomini con le palle quadrate. "Quasi quattro tonnellate perchè ci sono tre picche dentro" Se ho capito bene.
You guys obviously don't suffer from claustrophobia. :-) I've been to Italy so many times that I hear you guys speaking (and singing 😂) in Italian, despite the helium voices, but where was this dive located? Thanks for sharing!
That's is true, the claustrophobia is forbidden for us :-). This job was located in Egypt
@@charlesmoura226 is it usually that clear/bright? What depth was it at?
@@piposanchez 110 meters or 350 feet
How do you go to toilet ?
Yeah, of course! We still in this environment for 1 month... So we need to go to toilet :-D
whats Storage depth: 68msw ? What is msw?
meter salt water
My buddy said that they get high off the oxygen tank because its mixed its not only oxygen while diving. His wife's first time diving she got real buzzed after and when they were driving home they passed an ambulance and she started screaming that they took her body they had to turn around to go get it lol. He didn't turn around but had to listen to her trip out for a bit. Lolz. I wonder if these guys get buzzed and work while buzzed. Must be scary sometimes your mind can play tricks on you when you're straight I wouldn't want to be all buzzed out down there.
Nitrogen narcosis...they avoid that by using mixed gas
So what happens if you have to take a massive dump?
The blood become sparkling as the hot bottle of coke when opened after been shaked. All saturated gases in our body goes out from the tissues producing boils and we die :-/
@@charlesmoura226 I was talking about a different kind of dump.
@@charlesmoura226 I think he was referring to the American expression "take a dump" in Portuguese it can be translated as "cagar"
AKA pinch 1 off, the turtle is peaking its head out, grumper, Mr Hankie....Take a shit
A job for unsung heros
Semi-serious question: how does the constant excess pressure affect the testicles?
You hear their voice… that’s how
Can't they just make the bell a little bit bigger?
I bet women would make good saturation divers due to their endurance and that they have more protective fat to keep them warm. The downside is they aren’t as strong as men.
Where do they go to the bathroom and shower for the 30 days under and during the six hour work shift?
