My name’s Ray Garrett, and I’m a professional deep-sea diver. Let me explain how I came to be working in this profession. When I left school, I got a job in a lawyer’s office, and by the time I was 2, I’d worked my way up to the position of office manager. I was good at my job, and it never occurred to me to leave or do something else.
When our company was bought out and the local office closed. I started thinking about other jobs. I’d always been interested in scuba diving, as a hobby, and just about that time, I saw an advert in a magazine. A company was looking for people to train as divers, so I put my name down for the training. My mother wasn’t at all keen; in fact, she and my dad didn’t believe I’d last out the three months’ training! Scuba diving doesn’t take great physical strength or unusual exercise tolerance. All it takes is the desire, plus some basic classroom and in-water training.
A qualified diver can safely remain underwater for anywhere from a few minutes to over two hours. Most of the work I do now isn’t very dangerous – or very exciting! My job involves working on ships that have to be repaired. so we’re not even very deep underwater.
Working underwater can be dangerous, especially if we do need to go right down to the sea bed, perhaps to do some work on a shipwreck. People have accidents when they stop thinking about the dangers facing them in their job. and I never do that: I always remember that diving can be dangerous. I’m aware of the potential hazards, and I never exceed the time limit of my dives, which depends on various parameters like depth, rate of air consumption, and the profile of any dives I have done in the previous six to twelve hours.
At the moment we’re doing quite an exciting job: looking for buried treasure! Well,I suppose it’s not exactly like that. We’re working off the coast of America. examining a ship on the sea bed that sank almost a hundred and fifty years ago. The ship is the SS Union, and she was travelling from the Northern States of America to the South just after the American Civil War. For a long time, nobody knew where the shipwreck was, but a team from the University of New Orleans found it last year, using some new sonar equipment. The ship is supposed to have a lot of gold on board – although we haven’t actually found any yet.
Working on a shipwreck sounds absolutely fascinating, but it can be extremely dangerous at the same time. Potential hazards of diving at such depth include de-compression sickness,air embolism, hypothermia and physical exhaustion. On top of that. the ship can break up at any time, which means that you run the risk of being trapped. A couple of days ago I had a lucky escape when part of the shipwreck fell, and that’s the sort of thing that can really cause problems for divers. Still, it’s a great profession
