You do it then hardman, bet you’d piss in your wee jallates the minute the bell touched the water

[stinky-bum]

You don’t have to be a hardman to be a diver….. Just a little bit on the insane side…. You ever met any normal Divers yet that make sence after a few years of sat……

Dead Right Commando. Makes me laugh to see all these wobbly kneed rovers stamp their little feet about how tough they are and how they should be paid as much as a diver because they have a low level diploma or certificate???. The average air diver has more braves in his pinky……
Yep thats right an ex diver me.

[R2D2]

No Sea too rough,
No muff too tough,

We dive at five!

Ok, ok …. perhaps I suffered just a little bubble-trouble…

[rovbionic]

commando’s got it right.
Did 21 years of Sat and survived shite like Bombay High were you spent 8 hours ..nil vis….doing tie ends ..to go back to the system and nosh down on yer curry 3 times a day…..or how about losing a seal in TUP as your half way out of the bell……..you got to love the micro sleep you survive on for a month hitch while your expected to do the job on time.

Or losing hot water in the Arctic/Beaufort Sea due to some cherry Supervisor who a week latter lowers the bell on top of the clump weight sitting on sea bed…….how fast do you think you can get yer Kirby on!!!

Living thru those times and doing this ROV game its all gravy at least we ex divers can tie knots!!

Ok so who gets paid more? Divers or ROVers?

[Andy Shiers]

davirob ,You are tip toeing on dangerous ground , It ain’t professional with stupid remarks like that 👿 wind ya neck in 😕

[Sarcy]

oh give me a break, so long as you remember to breath and follow the suipervisores every instruction you will do ok, "COMMANDO" and "Whiner" apt names for ex bubble heads. Ex SBS as well? every other diver seems to be.

Divers get more money, something to do with being wet all day.
