Yes I just recently learnt about the existence of and became obsessed with saturation divers. Such a bleak life, like being in the special forces, disappearing for secret tours then spending your off-time staring into the middle distance.

At the risk of being morbid, have you read about the Byford Dolphin accident? Proceed with caution, but learning about that only made me more in awe of those guys, the lifestyle and the equipment.

There is also a documentary which I've been meaning to watch called Last Breath, which sounds fascinating. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-47826802

I think of it often! Usually when I'm mincing pork

Last Breath is well worth a watch. Gives a pretty scry insight into what can happen working in that kind of environment. It must be like working on the moon.
