Interesting, because I guess I don't hear of divers much so its more curious. Ever have to work underwater at night? If you have is it scary or did a big fish or anything ever scare you?

Yeah most people don't know what a Commercial Diver is so it's easier just to say Deep-Sea Diver since it's very similar. XD Yes I do quite a number of night dives for work but I might as well ONLY work at night since the work conditions are 0 visibility most of the time. :/

It's kind of eerie but I'm mostly focused on my work so I don't get freaked out (quite frankly, I'm more afraid of topside not doing their job well. ) but I have been given a good jump from some marine life that pop up out of nowhere. Had a run-in with an aggressive sea lion a couple months ago that left me a little shook up but it wasn't a big deal.

The creepiest thing I've done at work was my first time polishing propellers on a ship. It was weird being so small compared to the size of the propellers.

Wow. I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about but this particular blog made more sense than all the rest I saw on the list. I have just one question. If that archaic thing is a Mark V (as in five) then what's a Mark I (1)?

I know, right?! It's awesome!

The weird thing is there was never a Mark I-IV but there was the Deane helmet in the late 1830's and the Siebe helmet in the 1860's, as well as Morse and Schrader hats that made way for the creation of the Mark V which has been around for over 100 years now. The Navy replaced the Mark V with the Kirby Morgan 17B (which is one hat that we use today. Hate the 17B though!) and the Mark 12 (Which is like a box on your head. I've dived one as well. XD). Now we primarily use Kirby Morgan (like in my profile pic. Diving a 37 though), Gorski, DESCO (whom also still produce functional Mark V's), etc.
