Im a commercial diver, have been for 10 years, been doing the mixed gas (helium oxygen) saturation diving for about 8 months now. Before it was air and nitrox.

looks like a tough job though and dangerous to me...since i had some diving accident, i got more carefull and for sure also a bit scared though it's already some years back, but somehow i still have it in my mind.
and now i'm also curious about the model shootings

You always have something like that in the back of your mind. Over the past ten years of commercial diving Ive had a few dodgy moments ie out of air, hat filling up with water and inchs from being crushed by a boat. They all kind of teach you a certain awareness and to anticipate things like that happening, or to be prepared for anything.
I have two models sorted to do a shoot at the botanical gardens I did the framed shots for. Its all sorted apart from the dates they are free. lol
