Comment on The Weird, Dangerous, Isolated Life of the Saturation Diverparent

Comments

This article was fascinating. It never mentioned pay, though. Do these people get paid really well after all this specialized training, and commitment?

They needed his salary (not surprisingly, saturation divers are well-compensated, up to $1,400 per day), so his wife told him to finish the job.

I see from the article that salaries haven't changed much since the 90ies.

Yeah - phenomenal money in the 90s and everyone wore a Rolex... now the money is pretty decent while working but big gaps between jobs

Great money but assuming that's not a 250+ day/yr billable utilization it's not substantially better than working for a major webtech company, and a lot more grueling and dangerous.
