Ha! Glad to oblige!!! It was a good gig...got to work with good people, good equipment. And nobody got hurt...always good.

Hot water suits!!! Good for you. That river job we did was winter and right at the edge of wet suit/dry suit temps. We used 7mm wet suits and handled the cold water better than I thought we would. An outfit downstream had hot water suits we heard, never saw them. Have not used one. I...

10-4 on heavy kit...sometimes a front end loader would take out stuff down to the transport boat. Sometimes we put it all in a big tub (maybe 5x10, sometimes bigger) and a crane would lower it off the bridge onto a barge. Humping the stuff was not an option...thank God! On Dive Team missions...

That's the only major construction job I have done. I think we had four weekend events...most on Scuba where we inspected dam/bottom meeting points and placing sandbags. We often needed the mobility of scuba...sometimes a crane would lower pallets of sandbags to the river bottom and we would...

Yes..volunteer. We are under the local EMA (Emergency Management Agency) director. He takes requests for our services from law enforcement, fire, etc., determines if we have the resources to help. There are pictures here of some of what we have done...pretty good sampling of what we get into...

Started recreational diving in the 70's. Had kids in the 80's...diving went bye-bye. Started diving again approx. 2009 with county Dive Team....search, rescue, recovery. That led to comm. diving for a few years. Still do the Dive Team....comm. diving is sporadic.

Ha! some of the best money I have made. The clock ran from the time we left the team leader's house until we got back. About 2 hours drive to the dive site, work approx 8 hours, sleep on the way back. The jobs since then have been smaller...check out an underwater valve in a pond (a couple...

Amazingly good...the Chattahoochee here around Atlanta is abysmal visibility...zero. Down there, as long as you didn't silt things up, it was several feet. Here are some underwater shots I took that show visibility, some wedges I had to drive to keep their boards from sliding when they...

And some shots of the small coffer dam area where I used surface supply...some of it was probably 24-30 inches wide...only about 20 feet deep. Ends up I was the only one that could fit into the small space between the bent and the dam plates. All the close diving like that was me...I shamed...

That river job was in 2011...that was my start. None of the jobs since have been that involved. That job took about 4 different phases...recon to figure out how they wanted us to help reinforce approx. 1830 constructed bridge piers (also called "bents"...working in coffer dams a couple of...

:lol: True! You can only be so badass!

Kyle that 2nd video was disturbing. Terrifying for those divers. Probably best you are working in normal air these days.

:lol:

And that's interesting...another training video said the blade is supposed to run opposite how we run ours...so that you are always "back-chaining" which shoots the chips away from the saw to minimize clogging underwater: <iframe width="560" height="315"...

hahaha...I thought the same! It was cool seeing the cut piece float away.

Interesting saw.... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GWP9thPs_mM" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Embed problem...try this: https://youtu.be/i2d8PdKlSmA They got a cool log here: <iframe width="560"...
