·Apologies if this has been posted before, but, WOW!
Shows the hard men and the technology that goes into the watches we wear.
So you wear a dive watch?

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...Deep Sat divers need a heavy watch under water. It offsets the weight of their balls, keeps them balanced under water. As a Rescue Diver with almost 20 years of diving experience, I can tell you sat diving is not something I would ever do. The effects of gasses on the human body even under recreational limits is not something I like to dwell on, let alone saturation work.

·This documentary has led me to more about the likes of Dave Shaw (RIP) and others. Wow, I ask myself if I had the option of the moon or 270 meters under water which would I choose??
Sit me in that rocket!

·A different world than the watch owners who make deep dives of 24" or more to the dark depths of the back of their desk drawers.

·It may not have the same public allure as space travel, but to me, these guys are every bit as bad ass as astronauts.
By the way, I dislike how BBC calls this series 'real men', as if this is a quality defined by their jobs. To me, a 'real man' is someone who puts the security, safety, health and happiness of his family first, whatever it takes. A man who chooses to stand between those he loves and what threatens them. To me, it doesn't matter if that man is straight or gay, an office clerk or a saturation diver.

True. I suppose what I wrote wasn't a definition but more of an example. More generally I suppose it's about how a man responds to adversity and integrates values such as responsibility, loyalty, justice, compassion, and perseverance into his life. Or something. Whatever. Saturation diving is still a cool career choice 😀
