🔱PART 1 of 65 YEARS at SEA. The Life of a Deep Sea Diver.  

They coudnae keep you down! Glad to see you back! 💪🌊⚓🐟 Decided to look you up after algorithms played a video about an Oil Rig disaster ''Ocean Ranger'' early 1980's. There were no survival suits onboard, men were found{RIP} dressed in pyjamas from a chaotic evacuation, men so cold in the water that they were unable to grip ropes thrown for them. This reminded me of the ''Scoop'' you have to help rescue people suffering from hypothermia. Hopefully Safety has moved on a lot in the last 40 yrs. Regarding Hammocks, Our Dad had a hammock in Royal Navy {National Service} and said they were comfy. Seasickness.. Very honest of Alec to admit to it, but North Sea is not known for her calm waters.

Hats off to Alec, takes real balls to do what he did.

19:15 I wanted to hear that black story. I have some firemen friends and some of their stories are pretty funny even tho it was a terrible situation. But you have to keep smiling. 👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing

Thanks for taking the time to record his career at sea and under it. A humble man.

......A touching story and high devotion to the sea and a noble profession : to be a Lifeguard ! I take off my hat and my heartfelt thanks ! Dear Alec Laird : be blesfully happy against all odds 24-31-365 ! No less ✓

What an amazing career this man has, full respect to him.👍🇬🇧

That scrapbook ..... 😍😍😍😍😍

So glad you’re back, brilliant. ❤️

Good to see you back, lads. I'm looking forward to this series! Seasick? Nonsense. Alec has been on the water so long, he must get land sick. He must be confusing the two. 🤣 He has certainly lead an interesting life. 🤣🤣 Sank the ship in the harbour. 🤣🤣 I bet one wouldn't need to count very high to reach the total for the amount of times a healthy ship has gone down in a harbour. He was a strapping lad in his youth. A woman in every port kinda guy. Great vid. ✌😎

👍👍🤠🤠

Thank you Bigwavemaster and Alex for sharing your life storys with us -much respect-please all stay safe and well out there sending regards xxxx

Fascinating - After watching so many of your videos, this is a real treat!

Fascinating

Graeme why are you no longer at sea on the errv ?I miss the monthly videos. All the the best to you and all the crew that you sailed with.

Ah yes your from Holland no? I get now I'm dutch and was adopted by a nowaigen family and I'm dirrerent than they are and I was just a baby so it took around 10 years to realize that there is a difference in how we thing it's just a matter of dna no? I believe I'm on to something ,do dutch and Norwegian not get along or was it my childhood reaction to the circumstancesy? What do you think if you don't mind wait are you from Holland that's were I'm dirived from and never been there I'm sure it's a wonderful place

Interesting career - wow ! I admire your dogged persistence and polite efforts to engage with him because he appeared to give up words as reluctantly as the sea gives up a sunken ship - and that is in no way a criticism - he is like me , not much of a talker . It's admirable that you have taken the time to document his life and some of our own history - sober moment remembering how the sea & air are very unforgiving environments . Great stuff . [One thing though - I was pretty disappointed at the 19:14 mark with the censorship .]
