Diver Squeal - Commercial Diving by J Holtzclaw

[farmersloven]

for a commercial diver your a bit of a tool aye... im doubting that your actually a diver.. probably just a rec diver

[gixxertuto]

jajajajaja that so funny and the 1st dum azz diver i ever seen in the business u never ever grab a clamp like that jajajjaja

[almostalways803]

what us divers on the california coast say is dont stick your feet or hands where you wont stick your dick

[floricajun]

Pipe, clamps, cables, anything that is subject to movement is a bad place for fingers n toes. I dont know how many times i have grabbed a newbies hands from the opening of a pipe before a fit up or from sliding clamps. Why do so many of these guys insist on placing their hands and feet like this? its like a magnet.

[nolanpoepoe]

I understand that commercial diving is a gnarly job, and that long hours and high stress can cause stupid mistakes... but still.... and the exotic-breathing-gas-voice doesn't help me take him seriously... good nobody was hurt though. i'm sure he gained some wisdom... ahtough i'm also pretty sure he lost his job.

[graceman25]

And sent him home......

:)

And they all lived happily ever after.

[divernathan]

Nice work by the Sup, though.

[modernman12345]

deepmonkey your a funny mother fucker!!!!! dive deep!!!

[MattyTheMole]

When it comes to accidents like this personaly I blame divers who are in poor health, poor mentality and under educated. It really pisses me off to know the industry especially offshore will hire anyone who does a year accelerated tech program. Commercial diving is just as dangerous as working in outer space. Would NASA send a dumbass into outer space? After working for global for 8 years it is shit like this that sent me back to college.

[platvis379]

Whwn is this drought in offshore work ever gonna end???

[tank1demon]

not to overreact or anything....

[navyryan103]

ha ha ha what a tool

[impleasen]

the supervisor even said watch out for the pinch points, this guy needs to find another job.

[matmess]

what a complete arse,he should be named and shamed so the rest of us dont get him as a standby!!!

[AlanMcLennan]

The divers who fuck up usually make a habit of it. Get rid of the bad apples quickly.

[alamerga69]

Don't put your finger or toes where you would not put your dick .

[Calscot1]

Pure stupidity. I remember a job in the North Sea when a buddy got his arm severed off by a hydraulic pile driver hammer. His KBM 17 was partially crushed and the helmet flooded when the ram dropped on him. He had the balls to cut his hot water suit arm off that was jammed in the ram. (His arm was severed at the shoulder) Pitch black viz, 490' fee in sat and he pulled himeself with one arm back with a flooded helmet 100' back to the bell. He made less nois than this guy.

[z1jj]

Bad assed!

[bloodanddirt]

omg, what a fucking bamf. did he get a prosthetic? i mean...thats still too bad he lost an arm...but damn.

[jcrawfor182]

@Calscot1 bullshit he did!! 

[ska8r411]

@Calscot1 pics or it didnt happen

[djrashah]

this is heavy :))) hahaaa :)

[DogDamour]

So, when he got back to the bell or sat chamber and saw he had nothing... why was he decompressed and sent home?

[deepcmonkey]

Yes. Immediately.

[DogDamour]

i mean i cannot find the reason if he didn't even have a mark

[nomaddiver13]

he was probably sent home because A. he wanted to go home or B. this was not the first he had incident (lost time means lost money in offshore diving) or C. they found a diver that can keep his head out of his ass

[eucsstamticc]

I was on board this vessel when the incident occured. It happened off of the coast of Del Carmen, Mexico. The diver was NOT breathing a mixture off of his back!!! (bottlesuckers!!!!) It is what we call in the Commercial Diving world a "Bell Dive". The diver was fully Saturated living in a Saturation Chamber. The squeeky voices are due to the heliox mixture, there is no compressed air being used. The pressure has nothing to do with the voice. His foot didnt even have a bruise! carry on!

[z1jj]

How did such a nut job make it into Sat diving? Any idea how many years he has (had) been in the field?

[ajb221]

the diver sounds like donald duck. lol

[jamesdmike]

why is there not foot push bars on the clamp?

[hphughey]

Best video I have seen !!!

[hordichuck]

pussy. thought only real men dived

[stevevaizorz]

why is the 1 guys voice high pitched

[pawnshopr]

hmm when i make noises underwater its just wierd sounding noises but its probably high becuase of the water pressure pushing on his lungs or its a helium mix tank

[hibob841]

They are breathing a helium-oxygen mix instead of air, because of nitrogen narcosis. The helium distorts their voices.

[Chuckjagermeister]

He was probably thinking of big groupers and hungry sharks and for a second though he was being eaten foot-first. I'd wanna get back to the bell for a shorts-change too.

[steveo451]

yea put ur fingers n toes where you shouldnt gets pinched sounds like a sick badger

[LEOFALASCO]

thanks for the vid...i know there alot of diver out there that should not even be working in a bath tub

[pasatio]

Ah geez that poor fucker....sounds like a little kid in agony..

[murkydiver]

be glad he was not setting det-cord. I hope he was alright a flattened toe hurts like hell, but will get everyone laughing at you. Good job on the super......cool hand luke!!

[6milway2die]

free flow dumbass

[ivandaronc]

Ach, first rule to my on the job is never put fingers or even foot in a moving part.

But shit happend we all now. But here, come on guys he fuckt up a lot.

5/5 for the supervisor.

[leviathan17k]

The dive supervisor sounds familiar to me.Great video! Had to be a hurricane baby.

[geikeee]

goog god! come on man its a toe injury! i'm sure it hurt but really come on

[Swollzach]

at the end of the video he said that there wasnt even a mark... ive seen a few people panic like this... kinda funny actually.

[JULLIETROMEO]

Very Educational Indeed!

[malteserabroad]

Jeez guys, give the guy a break. He fucked up! So what? Any other commercial divers here hands up and tell me that you have never screwed something up while on a job. Fortunately neither he nor a colleague were injured. I must admit he did make a bit of a fuss though!

[deepcmonkey]

You might get away with being a little slack in civils, but it not acceptable offshore, especially in SAT. If you think it's not a big deal that this guy pinched his toes in a clamp minutes after the supervisor told him to mind his hands and feet, then you should stay on the beach. I won't say I never fucked up, but I'll never say it's OK.

[malteserabroad]

gixxertuto is a person I was addressing my comment to. Its his user name you dick.I didn't say its ok to fuck up. What I did say was that everybody makes mistakes. & for your information I'm both commercial&recreational diver(instructor)&I can assure you that being slack even in civils as you choose to call it is not acceptable. But shit happens&you have admitted to fucking up yourself which means you agree to my comment but have your head shoved so far up your arse you cannot even see that.

[steepend]

@deepcmonkey

malteserabroad has a point, but you nailed that one, way to expensive dangerous and time consuming to be wasting resourses on people like diver 1 making stupid mistakes like that, especially after the supervisor warned him... rookie mistake i guess. we all make'm at one point or another...

[Kirkibost1320]

@deepcmonkey

Now tell the truth, is it -a) you're a wannabe and you get off on over-dramatising the job b) you're actually in the job and you get off on over-dramatising the job or c) you know the guy and dont like him and want to do something to annoy him or d) your just a fud

[deepcmonkey]

@Kirkibost1320 @Kirkibost1320 You're obviously not a comm diver, so I'll go ahead and answer your pithy little question. I'm Always happy to educate the openly ignorant. I would say I'm B and C. B- because most people don't get to see what it is real divers get to do underwater, so I like to make videos that "over-dramatize" our not so glamorous job.

[deepcmonkey]

@Kirkibost1320 C- because I do know the guy and don't think highly of him. This video was made to remind people that any lapse in judgement or lack of common sense can get you or someone else injured or killed. As for being a Fud...What country are you from Elmer? If you think you are someone, let's have your name buddy.

[Kirkibost1320]

@deepcmonkey

There- see how much better it is just to tell the truth and not get all sanctimonious

Now you neither know me nor what I do, the word 'fud' should give you a clue as to where I am from and I'm afraid diving is just a job - well technically its a just away of getting to a job. No one gets all moist in crotch from being a pipefitter or a welder and to be honest unless your suit's leaky neither should you be for being a diver.

[deepcmonkey]

@Kirkibost1320 Well that answered one question. You are deffinitely not an offshore surface/sat diver. But you still choose to remain anonymous. There are a lot of people like you out there who only have the strength to throw out there vast knowledge anonymously covering any topic they see fit.

[deepcmonkey]

@Kirkibost1320 But to the professionals who know, you are looked at like a stray dog that shits whenever it gets excited. I have more respect for that dog than people like you. So again, let us know who this wealth of knowledge and phsyco babble comes from, and if you choose to bless us, also tell us what you do.

[Kirkibost1320]

@deepcmonkey

lol - you should really try to cut down on the protesting there bonny lad, it does you no favours. Now repeat after me you little scamp "We dont decompress people prematurely without a really really good reason" - 100 times for tomorrow morning -

So what did this lad do to upset you?

[funkyalfonso]

Absolutely. I still get chills remembering when I couldn't hear my supervisor with a Swindell hat on and the crane's headache ball got caught above me in black water. I was placing a metal reinforcing plate and just got my left hand out the way when the crane dropped 2 feet. Just luck I didn't lose my hand. I just wish I'd had a switched-on supervisor like this guy at the time in-stead of a dopey Irish fucker.

[malteserabroad]

Yep, sometimes we get away with things and the only way to explain it is to put it down to good old luck. Problem is that there are too many commercial divers who seem to think they are gods gift to diving and get some kind of kick slagging others off when they screw up, as if they are so perfect and believe they are a cut above the rest. They are the only down side to a great industry.

[6milway2die]

stop whinning . did i spell that right?

[malteserabroad]

No you didn't you thick dumb ass. And I'm not going to educate you by telling you how to spell it correctly as you deserve to remain a dumb ass.

[jimmyo1231]

I agree w/you.i can't stand these people who act like they never make mistakes.people who point the finger at other people when there are any problems suck!

[6milway2die]

most of them don't even listen. which sucks

[JustWonderingHowToDo]

Best job is int he control room.

[KMS4444]

That was pretty good, but it sounded like a Div Super in Malaysia I have heard before

[tydiver]

I was on Air Sat jobs at 150FSW. It was cheaper than bounce diving and doing the sur d o2 thing, plus, you got 10 hrs of work out of each diver. If you have the sat spread, use it.

[tydiver]

Those are sat (saturation) divers in the third world (Dubai) probably at 280-300fsw. Here (Gulf of Mexico, North Sea) we use professionals and pay them top dollar. Over there they try to save a buck and use unskilled labor at a cheaper rate. Don't be too hard on the guy. He probably never even went snorkeling in his life.

[deepcmonkey]

Unfortunately that was a Gulf diver. It was a job off Mexico at about -120' working on a mid water arch for a floating riser going from subsea bouy to a PLEM on bottom. Bottom was about -250' I think.

[goindeep11]

Why are they on Heliox and need a bell if they are only in 120' of water? Funny though. We were always taught to be aware of your surroundings and have good umbilical management.

[deepcmonkey]

Shallow SAT isn't uncommon. Don't be surprised to see -60' SATs. It's an efficient way to dive if you have a long project. More bottom time is the bottom line.

[IntoGear]

Hell where do I apply? Would love doing that stuff...at least once. Going down I don't have an issue with... going up (like flying) theres a problem! Like six big US Marshall's worth to get me on the plane. Can't believe he cried like a little baby... bet he soiled his suit too. Even I know panic the real killer.

[IntoGear]

I'm not a diver but thought the boots would be steel toed... how deep were they?

[deepcmonkey]

They were steel toed. It didn't hurt him, it just freaked him out. Good thing it wasn't a real emergency.

[joshbez]

hey mika, you poor poor boy. honestly i haven't anything to say but you suck at life.

[MayorVaughn]

Newly broken out maybe?

[Chuckjagermeister]

The scream sounded exactly like a pissed cat.

[annorth1]

Haha...sounds like he got a little sand in his mangina

[LupusMCTD]

a friend shared this with me, I have played this over & over, laughed till I cried.

I had to play it (again) now my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

I'd love to see more...this is great!

[gixxertuto]

Man i laugh my ass out, i'm a C.D. and is clear he wasn't keep he's eyes open, most be a tender right, rokkiesssss =)

[malteserabroad]

And I suppose gixxertuto, you have never screwed up during your illustrious 'CD' career? Wow, you must be Gods gift to the diving industry!!

[jlanouette1]

divers on helium thats why he is squeaky but shit that had to be painful

[sxsea]

Jeeez, I know shit happens but what a dumb ass! Kind of a pussy too sounds like. hahaha great movie though!!!

[austcommdiver]

I know that Sat Supervisors voice, it's Rob Hardstone....

[deepcmonkey]

Your right.

[Divinglore]

Putting your foot in it! Lucky he didn't get it mangled.

I like the way the other diver just carries on doing his thing while ignoring the howling diver nearby.

[diver0129]

Depending on how their coms were set up, the other diver may not have been able to hear him. Sometimes topside has to enable coms between the divers. Though, I would think that sat divers would have coms with each other. lol.

[battlemaster116]

sounds pretty fun when he starts screaming.

[hodgeepoo1]

this is freaking awesome!!!

[antiomni2]

ohhh, ahhhh. Ahhhhh, uhhhhhh

[Wayneo005]

He did get told, bit of inexperience I would suggest.

[ivandaronc]

As a diver, but this in your live as well,ALWAYS connect the brain before doing

some wee joby.

Its like cutting the branch where you sitting on.. Ah Ah LOL

[arianaras]

What a waste of reclaim...

[diverdave76]

Wow, Thank God for Steel toes huh? He should have been able to wiggle his toes and see if they were working don't ya think?

What a dip shit. Fingers pinched I can see, but your FOOT? lol
