How Deep is Too Deep for You?

...until you've dove saturation...

But you left out:

Cold and clammy.

Can't communicate easily.

Food tastes "wrong."

Ugly roommates, usually named "Buba."

...until you've dove saturation...

> Comfortable living chambers
> Room service
> Slow-speed elevator to the divesite
> Hot water suits ( a near orgasmic state of comfort! )
> Audio / video / Louis L'Amour library & all the "Guns & Ammo" you can take!
> Fantastic pressure-differential flush toilets
> Tractor-trailer loads of helium to gobble up

...and get this - they PAY you for all this! ( not enough, regretably. )

...I maxed out @ 730' for 35 days. Deepest in-water was about 1800'. Deepest dry topped out @ about 2250'. To go deeper would require a mix that has not been invented yet.

...All you need is several millions to set it all up, & several more to keep it staffed & running.

OK, that's just plain nutty

...showers are often a "group thing" ( to save gas - the bilge ( shower ) water is evacuated via pressure differential ), where mutual back ( please do not insert "side"! ) washing is done to forestall unsightly skin conditions...

Hmmm, that does take some of the bloom off the rose, don't it?!

You mean being locked up in a small can with a bunch of hairy guys named Buba, who smell bad, speak in a squeaky voice and want you to wash their back? And the food tastes like crap (well everything but Swanson's Hungry Man Fried Chicken Dinner, which was all that I could eat). Naw ... sounds like a holiday ... for somebody else maybe.<G>

Swanson's Hungry Man Fried Chicken Dinners give me gas.

Cold and clammy.

> Yes, if the E.C.U was acting up ( too often I'll admit! )

Can't communicate easily.

> Yes, till you developed your "helium ear" ( the unscramblers "didn't" very well, did they? )

Food tastes "wrong."

> AGREED! But rig food often had no taste anyway!

Despite the drawbacks, it beat the hell out of bounce-bell diving with it's endless hours of a b.i.b.s. mask stuck to your face; & WAY better than those interminable, cursed water stops! ( I LOVE those deep-scuba record setters...1000' for :1 & 13 hours of water stops! Wahoo! )

P.M. on some of your sat. tales Thal; or better yet - share with the gang!

Supervisor's orders - no zits allowed!

No holiday Lad, but the 35 day check was SWEET!

No more "nutty" than packing-up to feed the dogs, aye Dave?

The poor things were wired cuz of all the goings on. Looked like they needed a friend, so I was just doing a little canine public relations
