  My friend Bill Warne was a North Sea rig diver in the 70s Had a saturation record at some point. <br>He said boredom was the biggest problem. And running out of good weed. <br>RIP Bill you fucking legend. ❤

  On Saturday, you go blind from uv radiation, because you wore no eye protection.

  The final scene at [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbMsfUEy5W8&amp;t=803">13:23</a>] where he returns to his late grandfather&apos;s garage, strikes an arc at 70 amps, and hears that same bacon sizzle is pure poetry. A great reminder of where the journey began.

  I worked with a young man that went on to go to underwater welding school in Seattle. &nbsp;His name was Shelby Harris . He has gone on to have his own salvage business and I hope he is still alive and kicking ass !

  Back in the early &apos;90s I was a photographer for OPI International out of Orange, TX. They had a Sat Diver Barge that housed a crew of 20 men. I would go out and photograph these men working. They earned every penny! 🙂

  Met a dude in rehab .. I hate to admit but I forgot his name but he was a Texan and underwater welder... Real good dude, cool as fuck, kinda strange but I talked to him a lot and got to know dude heard this dudes stories and life experiences shit was all about welding from high school till age 35 and was a meth addict but had his own underwater welding business and was fucking balling.. great dude. Was always sketching all sorts of designs for machines he wanted to weld and shit when he got out... Noone fucked with him but I talked to him he was just different but a real passionate dude lived and breathed underwater welding...<br><br>. I was broke as fuck in the rehab age 23 and the day I graduated the underwater welder guy was nice enough throw me $20 and a pack of cigs just as a thank you for being cool and hearing him out and shit .. was fucking clutch.. dude was a multi millionaire but made no difference in rehab lol . Wish I remembered his name . Gave me a good impression of underwater welding even tho had no idea about it lol but if youre still alive Heroin Matt from CT really appreciated that lol

  1. You dont smell anything through the exhaust<br>2. We always use a kirby morgan<br>3. From commercial diver to offshore there is still a long way to go. You skipped a lot of work between that.<br>4. You should say air not gas<br>5. The umbilical cord for air doesnt look like that<br><br>Besides that it looked pretty good
