Last Breath - Excellent Documentary on Saturation Diving - on Netflix

[thorne]

A lot of us on here use dive watches, and might know a little or a lot about saturation diving. Some members may even be expert sat divers.
For the rest of us that would like to know more about the actual risks involved, I highly recommend watching the documentary 'Last Breath' now available on Netflix.
It is just under an hour long, and chronicles the events during a dive gone terribly wrong due to bad weather, and how fine the line is between life and death in this profession.
Makes for riveting watching.

Thanks for the recommendation. Starts slow - but it turns into a riveting story.

After I retired from the Air Force I was a paramedic working in the Gulf Of Mexico and abroad in oil and gas. As I was also a Dive Medic, there was a ton of diving operations going on with the oil companies after Hurricane Katrina. I once spent almost a month in Sat because they wanted a medic in with the guys. When I tell you that it was one of the best times (and paychecks) of my life, along with ass puckering times, believe it. I loved it, but I swore I'd never do it again. Since then, I've always had a deep respect and admiration for Sat Divers!

Seen this, it's great viewing. I need to find the Fakemaster Sub torture test where they sent a Fakey Sub down for a sat dive and give it a bump.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in many moons. He sure did some damn fine work!

I had seen that movie, since I use to to a tremendous amount of underwater photography. It started slowly, rather mundane, and not to give away what happens, I though somewhat typical of other sat diving movies or documentaries I had seen.
By the end, I was glued to the screen. I would say more but..................It is well with watching!!!
