Hi Bart, nice to meet the actual diver! I was given this video 2 years ago from a client who asked me to post as he felt technically challenged. you have one heck of a cool job, what amazing things you do down there! I never gt tired of seeing this video and the amazing things one can see so very far below the surface.
I am Bart Tonckens and i am the diver in the red suit in this video. This job was in Libya on the Dive Support Vessel "Bar Protector" 2004 / 2005 campain. Diving Company was CNS (Coopperativa Nazionale Sommozzatori) from Italy. Man i loved to work with those Italiens, this was one of the nicest jobs i have been on. I am from Holland myself and still do the same work today in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia etc. Living in Malaysia now.
absolutely incredible video, cant stop watching it. was the depth viewing the whale 1222 meters. not totaly sure. hope i get to sat dive one day. again awe inspiring video!!
Great video, great song, thanks. I have dived and supervised 200 m plus. The margins at that depth are so slim, 150 m plus dives is for the young guys good on you, only twinsets for bailout ? short umbilicals ?
Hi there, The company was the Italian CNS and I know one of the diver, Simone His name, great Man, we been working a lot togheter, The project was in Libia, Sorry do not know the name cos I was in othe project.
@Tyrysh14 Errrrrrmmmmmm sorry Tyrysh but there was NO Scott on this job.. The diver in the red suit is Bart Tonckens.. I should know as thats me.. Carmello was my bell partner on that dive... Sorry mate you got the wrong info..
@Tyrysh14 The one who put his thumbs up was me Tyrysh, Bart Tonckens in the red suit.. There was no Scott on that job mate.. You must have the wrong info buddy..
I can't believe only 32,678 views.I must have watched it 100 times.Great song and video!
