[do it easy]

Does anyone know what he was diving in? Face mask? Drysuit? Drygloves?

yuck yuck and triple yuck! This guy really is a hero for doing that.

Looks like he had on an AGA, can't be sure.

That would have been the last dive for my gear. Time to go shopping!

Happends at every sewer plant in the world, called contaminated diving.

But I have never seen an AGA used. Usualy, the diver has a Supperlite 17 or 27 and a Viking dry suit. The cuff rings get taped over to make sure they remain sealed.

If done right, the diver doesn't get touched by the liquid. Now what sone divers do is that once they are in the liquid they ask for more line from the tender, then a few minutes later ask for the slack to be taken up, later some more slack, take it up, give me some more, too much take some up, ....

By the end the diver gets out, get hosed off, then while still in the suit get washed down with a bleach solution, gets out of the suit and goes to the bar for a beer.

Now the tender, well somehow he has got the "liquid" all over himself from all the giving and taking up of the slack and may need to change and he still has to clean the gear and put it away before he is done.

Trust me it’s not a big deal. When you get properly prepared it just another zero vis dive. Clean up is a bit more intense when you’re done but that's about it.

Some of you may have dove in as bad, if not worse than a sewer without realizing it. Some bottom sediment contains as much if not more contaminates than a sewer or septic tank.:mooner:

So the next time you silt up an area what’s going to be going through your mind?
