I am already aware of these - but is there ways around/ or to avoid them? • Decompression sickness • Nitrogen narcosis • Drowning • Barotrauma • Oxygen toxicity • Shallow water blackout • Deep water blackout • On jumping into water: divers sometimes jump into water feet first from some height above the water (e.g. from a large boat or from a pier). Jumping into the water headfirst is unsafe for those wearing any sort of scuba or snorkelling equipment. In particular, an open-circuit scuba on the back is big and hard and heavy and during a headfirst dive into water may cause back or neck injury or break the neck. |

Well seldom do they jump into water, most will have lifts or ladders except for short jumps. They would never jump into unknown water. ( military may be different) When I did some salvage work years ago, the divers there, worked and lived on the diving rigs. They would often work 3 to 6 weeks on and then 2 to 4 weeks off. There pay depends on experience, type of water they are diving in, the depth they are to dive and what type of diving they are doing. The safety is taught in the schools , the danger comes when you get or take a risk, to do a job faster, to follow orders of a company because you are scared of getting fired. So if you always just follow the rules, it is safer. But working underwater in ocean is different than fresh water Salvage is a lot different than construction welding. If you have fear of the job, it is not for you, this is a job where you have to respect the danger but know that there is a high risk of injury |

Hello tony: If you want to be a diver - BE a diver. It's a COOL line of work and it pays well. Look. You're asking the wrong questions about diving... Yes, it's dangerous IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES. The cool thing about learning the profession, is you find out what the rules are, and how to follow them... I'm a pilot. It's dangerous too, if you don't follow the rules. So,s driving, operating a punch press, or swinging a hammer. excon |
