Jadon Anderson on his career sat diving.

"My deepest was 621 feet"

"When you drop out into the unknown- and you know, I could be the first person that’s actually stood here. You’re in a different world. I love Sat diving. I’m home now for two months and I can’t wait to get back offshore right now. "

    Living 28 days in a metal capsule with 3 other dudes, decompressing for up to a week. It better be paying NFL quarterback money to get me to even consider doing that as a career. Massive respect to those guys.

    My dad did this back in the seventies. He worked off of Stevanga in Sweden. His team of four would actually stay at the bottom in the bell and compartment. They did two week shifts. One day my brother, sister and I found a cassette tape marked “Sea Floor” so we threw it in the cassette deck. We then proceeded to listen to the greatest tape ever recorded, and laughed until we were peeing ourselves. To pass the time, these four brave souls would record their farts into a microphone attached to a small Waltham tape recorder. That tape was over an hour long. Brilliant to a ten year old.

    " I can't wait to go back Sat diving" he says with no expression and dead eyes
  • Man I thought I was hot shit doing 80 foot dives. These guys are absolutely hardcore.

    I've been a recreational diver for about 12yrs now and the deepest I've been to is about 42m........ to me and my European Dive mates (who fully understand the technicalities of this) these saturation types are like Spec Ops. It takes a special type of lunatic to take those risks. Kudos to these lads

    Thanks for the video. My father was a North Sea Pioneer Diver in the 1970s and worked for Taylor Diving & Salvage. They actually went down to 320m (1,050ft). Unfortunately, he was killed due to mechanical and human failures while completing a dive in the Skånevikfjord between Bergen and Stavanger. A Norwegian news organization, the NRK, did a documentary on the accident back in 2015 called the Deepest Dive.

    "One bolt and two nuts weigh over 100 lbs." Uh did he just reference how big his junk is for being able to do that job?
  • @MrAmeerga

    When it comes to getting bread they've got the keys to the bakery.

    This guy is my next instructor at DIT. Already met him, great guy.
  • @tobystewart4403
    "I love sat diving." These folks are off the chain, straight up. Big respect.
  • @howey935
    My brother was a saturation diver in the North Sea from 1991 to 2004 and he regularly worked at 450 foot deep. He made a lot of money and well😊 deserved
  • @myk2
    Nothing but absolute respect to these people. The mental and physical stamina to do this, never mind the sheer balls, unreal.
  • @danzena4059
    These are the type of men, individuals that I admire. The unsung heroes of the world. While we live in a world where everyone is hung up on social status, these are the people who make sure we have the functionality that we do in the world. We don't hear about them, most of us probably don't know anyone who does this line of work and they don't get much praise in the world. Unlike superficial celebrities or politicians. Salute to these men! There's plenty of jobs I would love to try out and experience but I don't think this is one of them. Definitely takes a different and special breed of people!

    I can"t believe the water level of the ocean doesn't rise, when he goes down there with his GIANT BALLS!
  • @KevinM88TR11
    I've been in the Army, worked on oil rigs, worked on power lines and more. This would drive me absolutely mad respect to these men. 👊🏼.
  • @vondahe
    I have nothing but the deepest respect for these guys. There’s no end to the list of disadvantages, discomforts and things that can go wrong. I hope they’re paid (and insured) handsomely.
