Ok, I'm sure it's not always as awesome as it looks but from my flat-assed desk job, that is just freaking awesome!
You can do everything they can do, recreational, they just got a job to do
OMG OMG, where is the SCUBA(Board) Police? Look at that horrible buoyancy! They are standing on the bottom!

The dye, in the form of a chunk of luminous dye stick, is popped into the flange by the diver just before he buttons it up (tightens the bolts up) so that when it is supposedly tensioned to the pressures required for testing by the engineers, if there is any leakage, the dye is obvious. (Many times, when the flange is tightened, it will be wrapped in cling film so that if there is some leakage, the dye seeps into the cavity made by the cling film but isn’t washed away by tide, current, etc. So that a diver or ROV can swim along and check it long after the pressure test.
