Shouldn't it be FragrantView?
Peter, I must say I am extremely curious just how you ascend to the surface with balls as huge as yours😂!
I liked the image quality ❤
How do I get a job like this I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪 please reply
@@mgannon81 you need to become a certified diver first. Then there are a lot of other certifications you will need to work towards. You will also need schooling and get your certification as a commercial diver! Join the navy and have your mos be a diver.
I love it multi million dollar ships and pipes and they send you down with 2 crescent wrenches instead of box end wrenches
An ex - Navy Sailor and Clearance Diver myself, my appreciation in your career choices is astounding, a traveler, dare devil, entrepreneur, nice to see that your life has a lot to offer.
Hope the clearance work went smoothly and safely!
TrashBoat YT, I can assure you.. I have better things to do with my time, than pretend I am an ex navy sailor... I've never been in the Navy. This video has enough comments on it to go to the effort of pretending to leave comments myself.
@@FragranceView how did you notify them to lift you up from the water
@@byronfernandez895 inside the helmet is a radio coms, I can just speak and the supervisor hears everything.. I ask the supervisor, and he tells the people on deck
Have you ever encountered any sharks or dangerous animals down there? And if so what do you do?
Awesome 😎
Fascinating job and great music taste
I signed up for school to become an industrial diver, but because of health complications it did not work out. Thank you for sharing so I can still see what it is like 😊
It looks cool and pays very well but at a massive price
It slowly lowers your lifespan. You will barely notice, but when the years come by you’ll notice and by then it’s real bad.
This channel is getting more and more interesting 😀 great vid.
aw haha thank you :)
The music at the end is 🔥!
SO EFFING cool!!!!!
Cheers fella :)
I never thought this kind of job exist until i watch this video. Thrilling and adventures job.....
Cool :) thanks
Very cool
Awesomeness.
You are making us (land animals) experience something which we will never do 'live' and for THAT we are forever gratefull - a big THANK YOU and safe dives !!!
Thank you
wow Pter this is amazing!, Go on with these videos!
Cheers man :)
This is amazing
Great video. Very cool to see.
The tools had me cracking up 😂😂
You would think they would have special tools made for underwater.
Nope good ol craftsman adjustable wrenchs!!!!!👍👍
welcome to the world of Offshore Dubai, where no expense is spared
Such adjustable wrench is like spare change for such a big company... If they buy 1000 of them they won't notice it financially. And it does the job i suppose
That was AWESOME!!!! I bet you got some cool work stories
Thanks man!
Very interesting thanks for posting
Thanks for sharing
Peter, thanks for taking us along with you on “just another day at the office”! That was extremely interesting and the camera work was awesome as well! Three quick questions; how long can you safely work at that depth, are you required to log your hours underwater (like a pilot), and was the tank you carried on your back a safety tank or the main air supply? It looks a bit dangerous, so take care and be safe!
Thanks! Bottom time at 30 meters was just short of half an hour, if you dive closer to the surface you can be more like 3 hours... purely depends on depth. If you dive 30 minutes you'll need something like a 25 minute stop, where you sit at 20 foot to let the gas leave your blood before you come to surface.
Yes you have log every single dive, in a " Log Book" and it gets stamped officially by the dive supervisor, the company, and the vessel stamp! The bottle on my back is a back up supply incase the main supply gets cut.. which is that big long umbilical that's attached to me going to the surface :)
@@FragranceView use the right tools for the job use the right spanner when tightening thenuts it looks fake whatever your doing position as to where your standing and the spanner your using fake
Thanks Thomas, I was using what the supervisor gave me to use, I don't have a choice.
Do you dive at night also and what’s the protocol for immediate danger such as sharks near
@@thomasmosesmganga2552 not sure how you could watch this video and think that it’s “fake”…lmaooo
Wow! Exciting, cool, scary, wonderful job!
Thanks!
Looks like fun
That was cool
it's great job combine travel , money , exciting , and quality wide view
Cheers
Only a diver can really, and I mean _really,_ and fully appreciate what working UW entails! . . .
Safe dives always my friend! 👌
love your music selection
Awesome..👍
Huge respect!!! Scarry, raw and dangerous job you have. Such a contrast to your other more sensitive and artistic side of your personality. Very interesting combination.
Thank you!
Great video. Hats off to you as that job takes some guts!
Cheers fella
Great job
this job look nice and fun
Yes, wow this is cool to see...my dad was a deep sea diver for most of my young life....out in the Gulf a lot, oil platforms, bridges in places like the Indian Ocean, the North Sea...all kinds of places....and he was gone for up to 6 weeks at a time....that was weird as a young child, wondering when he was coming home and what he would bring me from the ocean....he had an underwater camera and took photos of some of the stuff he worked on and also sharks that swam by him!! Wild.
He would go down to deep sea in a bell and be down there for days at a time. Still blows my mind.
How old is he now?
@@putman815 heyyy there....my pop has passed, he was born in 1933.
I'm sorry❤️ He had quite the resume. Must have been a heck of a guy. Sounds like you two were really close❤️❤️❤️
@@putman815 hey its funny that you would comment today about him. So on Friday night someone broke into my storage unit and stole a bunch of stuff...including his underwater camera! Oh my gosh I am so sad about that. I only got two of his personal items, two cameras. Thankfully I have his 1960s Nikon F here at home. They took the camera but left all the other gear, lights and stuff that went with it. He used to show me stuff he saw under the ocean, including sharks that would just swim on by while he was working....
The last 3 lines suggest that he was a technical diver,was he ?
id be scared of sharks for no reason, every shadow or fish id think its a shark. mad respect for you and what you do!
They curious as just we are, and they don’t have arms to grab us so we can polite move them away if they get too close
Every shadow or fish id think it's HUMAN.
I was born in California and never got in the ocean over my knees, it always freaked me out too much. Respect to Mother Nature and respect for you and your work.
I know you make the big bucks
Sharks aint shit id be more fearful of sea snakes
looks like fun!
so cool man
You're very brave. Seem like a good bunch of support divers, if that's the right name for them.. What a job!!
And here I thought you were a musician with some band! More power to you!
I've not been in a band for about 4 years now
but diving has been my job for 10 years.. bands are always a hobby for me
Been a commercial diver and navy diver for over 20 years. It's a really tough job. Most of the time away from family life. Earn good money but gets old quickly with this job. Nevertheless was an amazing adventure
What was the money like? Always wish I did that….
The navy never pays well, go private, triple the money and freedom
family life gets boring too😂 Raising little brats is jot fun anymore. focus on myself is better,
@@soflodougyour a bra
T
I currently work offshore and the money is great but the lifestyle gets old fast at 23 working 14/7 I bring home an average of 120 to 140 depending on how busy we are
🙋🏼♂️ great sound track for this work 🤿
Interesting video thanks looks like great job
Same here as seaman and working in aramco oil platform in jubail abu ali sea ..before going to the ship as our accomodation one night first in coral hotel in jubail then morning then rock n roll to the sea..really miss working in the platform evrything now is just a good experience...
Awesome vid! Hats off to you Sir. I work in the merchant navy and spent time away deep sea and also 9 years in the North Sea. Found your page accidentally while looking up some fragrances. Definitely got a follower and a hell of a lot of respect from me! Stay safe. (Y)
Thank you very much, you too!
Very excited job and scary.keep it up!
I wouldn’t think I’d watch a 20 minute video all the way through but it felt like it was 5 minutes long due to how entertaining it was! You prob have one of the most awesome jobs out there!
Thank you
Do people really have such low attention spans these days? There are a ton of long form videos on CZcams that is very well made and worth a watch.
Watched it last night through console. Was better than National Geographic. Nice one Peter.
Cheers
Awsome 😊
7:26 i dont know the song but I couldnt think of a better fitting song for this surrounding. Perfect choice
Well, I did risk pulling a muscle in my left pinky extending it to hit an exclamation point on my keyboard, today. lol. You definitely have an interesting job that I could not do. Best & safe wishes to you!!! Thanks for your reviews on the dry side!
Those are a stretch aren't they! lol thanks! Next one is a video I shot in Dubai its self with the local perfumes
BRAVE...ADMIRABLE...PURE AWESOME....!!! SO much respect for you. This was incredible. And the sound underwater was incredible as well, hearing the clacking of the tools...great work, my friend.
Thank you! Appreciate that :)
Wild video pal. Incredible job.
Wow!
I've heard of this kind of job before.. but WOW.. I have huge respect to you and your coworkers
Thank you!
Cool video / job! I’m a railroad mechanic myself and I’m amazed that your using a mechanics worst tool (adjustable wrench) to tighten those bolts! ✌🏻
Just what I was given
The water is such a beautiful blue
good dive
I really enjoyed this Peter, you certainly have one of the most entertaining channels. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you!
Awesome! Could you get any cooler?? :)
Thank you :)
+860Cologne
Apparently not!
What an exciting life. 😊
I’m assuming you are getting sent all over the world with a job like this?
Incredible video and very well made video about such a dangerous but important job in this world. Nothing but respect to you.
greetings from Sweden
I'm almost speechless :) Last job I expected from a fragrance channel. Awesome!
I want a GoPro so badly.
Thanks, GoPro's are great!!
I'm staying on your channels today...you're no one 'note' samba :)
Amazing job - thanks for the share. Incredible that you would carry out a procedure like that without a second person for additional support should a safety issue occur. Outside of my knowledge sphere - I'm sure all safety precautions were in place! Love your fragrance reviews.
It's very rare to dive in pairs.. you're always by yourself! but there is a rescue diver strapped in ready to go on the surface, just incase anything happens, he can come down quickly and rescue
so jealous off listen that music under water, hi hope
Thanks for the B s music
Very impressed you're still answering comments from years ago to a month ago. Shows a focused mind and a concentration on details. Today, how much would a commercial dive school cost? How do you know if it's reputable? What's your yearly income? Have you ever been on a dive, decided it was too risky, and aborted the operation? Thanks.
Dive school is very expensive.. and 85% of divers that train end up never finding any work, quitting and going back to a normal job. You're probably look around a £20,000 investment in training. - Reputable ones in the UK is only one, Professional Diving Academy in Dunoon Scotland. If they provide an IMCA certificate, then it's good.. I have been on risky dives, yes, very powerful currents and tides, very difficult to work in.. Had one dive with a Stingray trying to stab me with its tail too..
@@FragranceView Thanks for the response. Yeah, sounds like too many graduates and too few jobs.
@@FragranceView you almost went out like Steve Irwin 🥶🥶
Great visibility, great water temp and good depth...=Great job to do which is pretty rare.Get to see the world and actually help humanity function is pretty damn cool. You gotta try to enjoy it cause we aren't here very long
Good.job
Old memories from Gulf of Mexico as a tender. Cal dive represent! Lol
I could never imagine being far from home but some jobs take you far from home even if it's in the middle of the ocean and the danger that comes with a job but thank you for this video i had a great time watching it
the reward u get from saving a person life most be a wonderful feeling :)
So you're a diver who loves fragrance and is into the extraterrestrial... eau so amazing!
Good job......
0% chance I could do this job - you’re a beast.
I started professional diving in late 60’s and by 1973 was saturation diving in the North Sea in the early days of oilfield diving and then over to Newfoundland, Canada for the first offshore oil drilling programme and from there travelled around the world living and working where the best and deep jobs lead to. I moved briefly to starting up ADS work and the first ROV programs as manager, but preferred offshore, so I progressed to being a Barge Superintendent and in control of a pipe laying barge a 300 ton crane and with nearly 300 crew, 4 support boats, sat system and two ROV systems. There have been so many changes, upgrades, safety changes and type of individuals joining the game over those years and nothing like the early days where it was indeed extremely dangerous. It’s certainly not the same nowadays.
Legend
Was a Sat diver in the 70s working for Ocean Systems, Comex, 3x, Seaway Diving. Working off West Africa and North Sea up to, 630ft. Great Times, great memories. We were called the Pioneer Divers as nothing like it had been done before. 50 years ago I was on £5k a month for a Sat dive of a month in the chamber.
@@nrw34260 - Those were THE companies in those days, including BIX that hit great pay as about £95 a day for inspection diving. I finally went to Oceaneering in about 1972 and my best mate, Jeremy Phillips went to Comex and sadly died on a pipeline incident. I was in Ghana in 1973, so we tally on a few places. I tried to go the deep and different. The Leo Class lock-out submarine saturation system was in vogue suddenly and I was running the operation in 1974 to depths of 520feet without hot water for the divers, until we engineered something. That’s the way it was. We used some duct tape too. Great times and great memories indeed Nigel. Good luck and stay safe.
@dr.s.p. yep 630ft in a unisuit. 😁
@@dr.s.p. how can I reach you Sir
Imaginary Authors should use your work life as inspiration for one of their fragrances.
Thanks!
im back years later..i gotta subscribe this time. this is amazin my boy. i travel domestically for work. i stay at the similar nice hotels with a rental car and per diem....but this is another level. amazin my boy
this youtube channel is mainly for reviewing fragrances, only made a couple of videos of my offshore diving work.. and I retired from diving 3 years ago, so there won't be any more videos offshore.
@FragranceView oh wow. Yikes. I had no idea. Many blessings with the future endeavors!
@@FragranceView You should make a video that presents your experience, what you liked about the job, what you liked less, the downsides of the industry, your advice for getting started in the job, etc. I think a lot of people would be interested in seeing that :)
Good job
This is really cool! I'm 18 atm and plan to get a job after HS and do a gap year and take that time to think about if I wanna go to dive school or not. I've always been interested in this work and the idea of being a saturation diver looks and sounds cool to me lmao. All this is a bit away but idk, hope I maybe make it as a commercial diver someday
Hats off 🫡 safe
Safer to keep that on honestly
This is a cool job
Absolutely fascinating, not to mention ever so slightly dangerous! I was born on a shipyard (family business) and, therefore, love the smell of diesel, wood, gasoline, oil and creosote. Some people are reminded of home by fresh baked cookies - not me. One snort of creosote, etc and I am transported back in time to the ole homestead. You will have to find a perfume with those notes and review it for me!!
Cheers!
this was so awesome, love the ocean ,thank you for taking us with you to work.
take care and be safe at work and traveling.
xo
MJ
Thanks :)
FragranceView can't find the video with the sting ray bro!
Here you go: czcams.com/video/RZpjxiOPtpA/video.html
VERY Cool !!!
Thanks
nice job
This was my dream job, unfortunately got hit in the head with a baseball bat while in school and now increased pressure is bad times for me . Lucky for me I’m a plumber so I get to kinda do the same stuff except on dry land and with sometimes with shit pipes instead of oil ones lol. At least I get to live vicariously through videos from guys like you! Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks, I wouldn't want my kids to become divers, so I hit them with the bat today.
@@jameseastwood4984 wow James, you’re so cool and edgy!
😂😉
@@SpaceEag11 why is that funny to you?
@@nickkirschner3719 Hmm Just liked his dark sense of humor. Why? is it bothering you ?
looks like a fun job! I mean it, I'm an engineer too and I wish I can go out to the field more. You're doing important work mate. Be safe!
Thanks!
My first video I seen of anyone doing this you are a bad ass.
That was cool, I liked the music you played too
A lot of people like to complain about the music
We may not always agree on fragrances, but I know a fantastic video when I see one, and this my friend, is fantastic! Well done Peter
Glad to see the difference of opinion doesn't stop you from coming back :) thanks my friend!
Misan I agree
Wow so that's what you do. Looks interesting but dangerous. I'm guessing your SOTD is generally a salty marine scents ;)
That mixed with sweat and oil! lol
That star fish at the thingy was chillin his vacation there
this looks like a job i would love
I absolutely love the professionalism within the maritime industry.
The people, the culture and lifestyle are second to none!
Happy day's!
Stay safe brother
So amazing to watch! Your channel never fails to entertain and I hope you keep the content coming, fragrance or non fragrance related. 👍
Thank you! I appreciate that :)
man has the lethal company suit
Smart work on the world can make it take hours..
This is amazing! Feels like a 3min long video as it is very interesting! Hope you could do more of this type of videos and explain some of your work related stuff it will be nice! Like sharks and working in the dark :)!
Thanks, I might do something like that on my vlog channel at some point!
Oh, My, Dear, GOD .. Peter!
*Thank You!!!* for making sure that oil stops flowing into our oceans.
These things worry me, one hell of a lot.
Worries me too!!
God dayuum props to you 💯
i sure as hell made some good money being a welder/millrite/ pipe fitter working on off shore rigs in the gulf and various other places around the world
for about 20 years. i had zero interest in diving. especially sat diving. i never felt comfortable trying to breath in those helmets. so i kept my feet dry and did all my work on the platform. food was decent, cabin wasn't bad, i had a weight room i used to keep in shape, and the money was great. i spent a lot of time replacing very large pumps, valves, bearings, welding pipe etc etc, i miss the job
The more I look through your chanel the more I love cause it's not just fragrance reviews but it's like you travel and record which is something different it's cool! I guess I should travel and make videos on fragrances (: good luck with work brotha
Thanks! :) I have a second channel for my blogs, with my travel videos on
+FragranceView Will sure check them out bud! (:
