Ep.24. A glimpse into work and home. (saturation diving)

foreign [Music] [Laughter] welcome to another episode um uh if you're wondering why I've lost my Caribbean Tan and looked like a zombie because if you watch the last episode I was leaving Saint Lucia to come home to go to work um some of you may know I am a saturation diver I'm I when I was just offshore I managed to take some clips inside the chamber that I live in for a certain amount of time it was 18 days this time managed to get a little bit of footage from when I was on the seabed I uh got a little seal come up to me thank you [Music] so I'll show you it's kind of like I've got to be careful what I film when I'm offshore because of policies and what not for companies so it's kind of like a little bitty um so it goes straight into the chamber I'll show you around the chambers uh and then um I'll show you the recovery of the diving belt for those of you who don't know what saturation diving is um deep sea diving uh we we breathe helium so don't be alarmed when you see the next clip when I sound like a chipmunk it's intentional I'm not going to go into the ins and outs as to why we breathe helium oxygen Google saturation diving or watch some YouTube videos it will probably explain a lot better than I do um so yeah I'm gonna put subtitles on because it can be quite hard to understand and the deeper you go um the harder it can become so that job was 120 meters on the seabed ish uh so just over 100 meters in the chamber is kind of hard to understand so I'll jump straight in and show you around the chamber [Music] oh thanks okay [Music] Corolla and the crossing over here I've been friends what's up hello hello [Music] come on hello [Music] my phone um [Music] oh okay okay [Music] welcome hello hello [Music] [Music] I'm false alone because the person is from the phone um [Music] oh man because yesterday erase foreign oh Hollister foreign [Music] [Music] let me come in I'm a little Floral world okay back on Surface and in a cabin so this is the sort of thing that happens during decompression I'm ready for a shower that's for sure for sure best thing about this bow is the Sky Lounge so this thing goes all the way around and it carried on next door as well but the guys are watching TV there so I'll just show you half so now this is the recovery of the diamond Bell the boys have just been to work for six hours on the seabed they're coming back up and locking back on this is the procedure of how it's done we're in the moon pool now is going to be coming up shortly I'm here and then it will lock on to the hub and then the dive moves to go through into the wet pot the big one that I showed you before and then we'll do mail checks on the external and then it's ready to go back down in six hours time here they come leave it or not there's three guys inside there maybe down there for the last six hours doing some deepsea diving stuff now it will lock off so I hope you enjoyed those uh little clips of what I do when I when I'm at work um I've been home for just over a week ish I'd like to show you now my hometown Weymouth which is where the boat's name Weymouth Warrior comes from I hope you enjoy thank you good morning I thought that me and Maddie will show you where we live way within Portland you've seen little bits in a previous episode when I went out for a sale so this here is Smallmouth Beach it's literally a two minute walk from from my house that I'm standing and then uh just outside a small mouth you have Portland Harbor there's Portland you see the break water just in the distance that goes all the way around there's the exit you would have seen in one of my very first episodes when I go for my solo cell coming out of that Harbor beautiful place for sailing and it's where they had the 2012 Olympics they held that in here and just outside in Weymouth Bay which I shall show you shortly so this bit that we're walking along now is an Old Railway track used to run from Weymouth all the way over there about two miles uh along here now this bit of iron you see across there actually used to be a pier so this area where all these houses are here was a factory and it was a torpedo Factory um so this was the pier where they used to send the Torpedoes to load them up and then do testing out in uh out in the harbor there so this was Whitehead's torpedo Factory where they first designed I believe the torpedoes uh the Train the train track itself would come all the way through uh across the Smallmouth Bay there which you can just see and then follow where that main road is it would go all the way to Portland where it would be used um for passengers but also mainly into Portland port for the Quarry rocks uh Portland Stone you've probably heard of Portland stone is probably the most famous stone in the world um Saint Paul's Cathedral in London is made from it and it is exported all over the world uh I can't remember the year when this Railway got disbanded probably done a bit of research before I've done this video really so we're gonna walk across the the Old Railway I'll show you little bits and pieces the old platforms and stuff as we go all the way into town [Music] foreign [Music] [Music]

give you a little insight into what I do this is a sailing Channel there's no sailing being happening because I've come back to work I should either be going back to the boat uh myself and Maddie will be going back to the boat in a couple of weeks um and carrying on up through the Caribbean so make sure you stay tuned for that uh if not then I will go back offshore to finish this job that's been happening and then uh in about six or seven weeks time then go back to the boat it just means that I'm a little bit shorter on time to get out the hurricane zone so I'll be skipping quite a few Islands going north but thanks for watching this short episode um if you're not already subscribed uh subscribe to the channel hit the notification Bell and you'll know when I'm going back to the boat
