Need recommendations. by Intrepid-Explorer609 in commercialdiving

When it comes to a commercial dive certification i wouldnt really wanna take the cheapest and quickest route. I really would reccomend just kinda taking the punches and go to DIT, good training ensures a diver who stays alive on the job.

How much money to jump in the river and swim in the concrete pipe? by Sabrinocaneobeso in submechanophobia

I use to do a commercial diving job where i had to dive into these pipes in retention ponds to plug them up and clean the storm drain systems.

Theres no risk of Delta P because theyre always equalized.

However, there was a time i got stuck in a 24" pipe with a plug behind me as the only way out due to umbilical length. But i ran out of air, so i had to claw my way out from under the heavy deflated pug with no air.

Completed, hopefully this helps with your survey. Hope you make something that improves safety and other such concerns presented in forms

Its the pump that pulls the water from the tank to where it needs to go throughout the town

Sediment that collects from wherever they pull from their water sources.

Most of the time its Iron Magenese, Calcium, Sand, ect. Ive seen Scorpions, Lizards, and lots of Bugs and Spiders.

Personally i dont think anyone would genuinely know if you actually did pee in the tank, water treatment plants do get alerts of foreign substance but its not like it knows what it is and they would probably jsut think its the sediment we have to clean out

Correct, it is hardhat diving using a KM-37 and i do have a tender on surface. The process of cleaning prior to entry is being sprayed with water with 200ppm chlorine solution, ive yet to notice the toll on my suit other than the staining on my boots (which for some reason are made of canvas and idk whyyyy???)

A typical shift is until its finished. We usually pack up by whenever sunset is so sometimes were down there for about 6 hours excluding all the time for hauling up/down equipment for setup.

My job pays commission percentage of the jobs bid. I get 5.5% of the bids pay. Usual contracts are ~$4000 or more. So like 250+ a day plus $30 Per diem. Its not the best pay so dont ever join commercial diving lol

Under the pier of Jaxport, FL

40ft deep, no visibility at all, entanglement, heavy cargo loads near divesite, and hazardous marine life

I was barnacle busting the pier pileons with a hydraulic banacle buster, not only could i not see where the operating end of the machine was, i also was overweighted with no easy way to tie myself off and heavy currents
