So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be
If you had a jellyfish shoved up your ass. Now repeat to yourself, 'I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.' Whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day? Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

 

Thanks Mark ... :twothumbs: that's a WOW..! post...RON :tiphat:

Bob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs.
 
Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103.5 on FM dial in Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest.
 
Needless to say, she won. Read his letter below:
 
~Hi Sue,
 
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job.
 
As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose.
 
Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it.
 
This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my ass started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it, however, the crack of my ass was not as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my ass.
 
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say, I aborted the dive.
 
I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't take a crap for two days because my ass was swollen shut.

Man, guys, it's a cool story, and it's really funny, but not sure it's true.

Hardhat Commercial diving is normally a surface support deep water event with divers becoming "saturated".

They usually go down in a bathysphere, work four hours on, four off, for a week, then spend the next three weeks making a slow ascent.

There are Divemasters on the surface monitoring and controlling every facet, especially their air, which is mostly nitrogen and helium with a tiny amount of oxygen past 300'. There are ships by offshore rigs they work from and the average depth is 1200'.

When they do use heated suits it's electric heat.

Usually you only need your "wollies", super thick one piece long underwear, and the suits are "dry suits", no water inside.

I own three different types of dry suits, neoprene, nylon "shell", and a hybrid material.

The only ones I know of using wet suits in cold water are the gold miners, who usually only work 10' or 15' underwater.

Otherwise they risk getting nitrogen saturated  and getting "bent", which is painful.

I've heard of people modifying old hardhat's to fit a wetsuit, but no commercial diving operation would ever operate on that kind of "shoestring" budget.

A real life operation, with real professionals, would never pump seawater through some heat coils and then down to a saturated diver's suit. That scenario is absurd.  

Someone with a creative mind watched that Discovery show and patched a story together with less than a basic grasp of high level diving.

Most commercial divers are underwater welders.

The fortune 500 companies even have one person submarine "suits" that I wish were available a few decades ago.

Sorry,  but I'm way too anal retentive to just look the other way.

I appreciate the knowledge. Should've asked my buddy, he was a Navy Diver Deep Sea Diver.

I liked the creativity of the story, and after seeing those homemade Frankenstein heat exchangers those Discovery gold miners so proudly display, I have no doubt it's happened to some of those shallow water divers.

I just wish there was a place to make bets on how long those heaters will last before total catastrophic failure. Now THAT would get me watching...lol

So, who was the unlucky soul that had to fish the chain through the pipe?! 🤢

 

I asked myself a similar question, how did they get the chain through the pipe.  Evidently, when they install the culvert, they leave the chain inside for when it is time for cleaning.  I guess they would have a second chain attached to the end to replace the one that is currently in the culvert for the next time. :P

That would be a nasty job! But so much fun to see what comes out!!
