I can never imagine how you guys hold your breath like that. I ran track in high school and our coach had us do a lot of breath hold training in the pool to increase lung capacity, but you fellas take the cake
Excellent work by the way and the way the team has handled this Experience Exactly as it was done in previous years in the team and in this year’s competition we are very happy to see the progress of the project and we are looking to make sure we can get this project as soon I am happy to share the progress we made in this project with you and I am very happy for you guys and thank you very much and have an awesome weekend and stay safe stay safe and keep safe stay healthy stay healthy stay healthy stay safe
Worked offshore for a long time. The rig decommission is not Govt related, its all about the $$$. The owners spend a lot of money maintain them and if they are not making money they are sold for scrap. They are sunk for rigs if it costs more to scrap them and the government approves of creating a reef. That rig is a floating jack up drilling rig, so they literally lower it down into the gulf, the top part floats and they tow it to a scrap yard. Easy peasy for some scrap money
This is about the only way on Earth I will snorkel in open water..... That structure would give me a false sense of safety, But enough for me to get over my fear of sharks and water where you can't see the bottom!
Look up Thomas Hilton with reel time navigator. He works closely with the reef makers and those that commission fads, in Texas. As a community we could collectively make a difference.
If you can swim, no big deal. Just like roaming the ridges, but with fins. And you don't need to dive to 100 Ft, Most started at a max of 30 Ft, If still young apnea lessons to go deeper or one of those Hookah sistems to make it easy. Ok if you live close to the sea. Lucky me started diving at 6 Yrs , Sling shot hunting about the same and got an air rifle and a speargun by 10. And a lifetime of fishing and hunting. Hope I make it to teach Grandson.
so, in the oilfield. A "rig" is, like you describe, a temporary structure that is moved off the site after drilling is complete -- think like a few months. A permanent structure that is in place for years, with jacket legs, like you typically spearfish, is actually a "platform". It's always aggravated me to hear you call them "rigs", but I never said anything. But now, with a jack-up rig in the background, I just gotta call it out. You almost always are actually diving production platforms. sorry to derail -- carry on :)
@@ryan_cowan When I worked offshore, "everyone" called a production platform a platform, and drilling rig a rig. I just thought it'd be nice to pass along my experience. but sure, I know lots of people don't understand the distinction, or don't care.
@@dlaf6535 to the common person, they'd have a better picture of what is gonna be in the vid with rig than platform ig Thanks for making the distinction tho, a little knowledge never hurt anyone. I do think it's a weird thing to get aggravated over lmao
@@aiyalidat I know it. SMH. so .... let me beat this proverbial dead horse. "Rig" and "platform" are an important distinction not only for people who work in the oil industry, but also in the law. If a person is hurt on a drilling rig, the Jones Act applies. But, if a person is hurt on a production platform, then the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act applies.
As I understand it the lease requirements the origional oil company would have agreed to would require that they are removed a certain number of years after they becomes inactive. Some of the platforms change company hands which delayed the inevitable removal on to the final lease holder (me speculating). The lease area is supposed to be returned to the original condition. During the removal process it is possible for some subsurface material to be left but they do followup surveys to ensure the lease agreement is followed. There is rigs to reef being done but the real push should be for artificial reef zones that will be off limits to commercial fishing. I don't have a ton of experience but I have been working since July 2022 in Texas as a platform removal observer.
Hi I just want you,to use a millon candle power of string lights down Thur the center and have them truned on starting 40 ft,down too 100 ft. Then we see the beautiful colors..gray green is ok. BUt color is better.keep making vids...
That nephloid layer on bottom is like a fog bank with often zero vis. Big fish hide down there. Where are the red snapper? When you find a clear bottom and have a scuba tank, you can fill a mesh sack with big flounder. They’re dumb and all you need is a pole spear. No fancy spear gun needed. There are also rare shells on those pilings, usually 100 feet down.
African pompano are mighty rare off Texas and I’ve only seen one caught. I Spearfished out there for 17 years but mostly in green water, not blue. The deepest water was 900 feet out there at the tequila and Cerveza Rigs. The fish were caiman I saw groupers out there I’ve never seen anywhere else. The triggerfish were 6-8 pounds and would bump your mask. We weighed one of them. Spiny oysters were everywhere and I filled a sack with them.
And would think, each should carry a small spare air. 100 feet and deep, you can run into nitrogen narcouse.which is a happy feel but if not carefully you stay a little long and when you head too the surface, at about 30 to 25 ft before pop out your out air.and going too suck water,but a very small 15 min air supply, ca n give you that one puff of air.that you need. Heaven forbid down deep,you get hung up on fishing line ,were a fish wrap and broke the line and you miss the super wire,and can't come up when,you need too. I love your shows, and hope there a lot safety we don't see going,too give that danger..feeling..
Sl is the best thing that has ever happened in the world to us in this country in the past few months and I am not surprised at all how many people have died from this virus in this world in this world in this world we have to protect ourselves from the spread and protect our own health care system we are the only ones who can do it and I will be there to help and support our family members in the world we will always support them in the best possible ways we will always do our part and I am here for it I love to see you all my love for your team always my heart always my heart 💜 11:51
Nice channel, found it trough that deep dive reaction video, good stuff. And good point about positive impact of the rigs on marine life, and showing it up, maan shools of those stuff down there, it important information for general guys to clear some misunderstandings for them. Man and u dive soo deep without tanks, wow, lol
Just got a text from the doctor saying that my blood sugar is high and my blood sugar has levels that are high so I don’t know if I can get a test or if it’s a good thing but I’m just trying not being a doctor to get a good idea what it doesn’t mean 😪 anything
You ever tired a full face mask,with the static air line from dive compressor,for aboloney dive time and decompression.you can go too 100 ft and camp out..
Weren’t those two at 24:33 bottom of the screen both APs?? I know you missed the permit I spotted in the last one but both of those fish looked like APs lol
Those were lookdowns! You can see them on the inside of the rig before the shot of them at 24:33. I actually looked back at the footage at them when I was editing to make sure too though lol. Looked like APs for sure.
@@BradenSherron yeah I just realized that, you can definitely tell also because you can see how thin and sleek they were from looking at them from above
I’m going to get a little bit more sleep and then I can go home and get some sleep I love your videos I love your video and videos and I miss seeing your pictures I miss seeing your beautiful smile I miss seeing your videos I love seeing your pictures and videos I miss you too and I love you too I love you and I hope you’re having fun with you too and I’m glad you had a great I miss seeing your beautiful face and your beautiful smile I hope you had a great day today I hope you sleep well and have a great day and I hope 🤞
The first time I was in a meeting I was told to take the kids out for lunch because they had to be there by escorting them out to school and they were going home and they had a exam and I was so nervous I was so excited and nervous and nervous except that excuse me and I didn’t even get a chance I was nervous and nervous but then they said they would take the kid to the school so they were just expecting me and I said I don’t know I don’t was
Hi Braden, awesome dive!! Quick quick question, what do you have the extra reel in your dive belt for? Thank you and please, keep these videos coming, I Love those Riggs, I wish we had those here in Miami. Be safe little brother and again, thank you so much for the videos.
Thank you Areus! Really appreciate the kind words. The belt reel is a backup reel in case my main reel/ shooting line gets stuck /tangles. It also can be used if my gun reel gets spooled.
@@BradenSherron Thank you for the information, that is a cool technique. God bless you kid and please be safe, if you ever come down to south FL, let me know, will make a Brazilian BBQ for you guys.
Pulling decommissioned rigs out of an area is a GOOD thing. That means they're putting those rigs back to work, drilling more wells. That has to happen so they can build new production platforms to put over those newly drilled wells. Platforms are long term structure for sea life. Price of oil has been low for several years, and it went up this year and is staying up -- seems reasonable that oil companies want to start hiring rigs again and drilling wells.
You have any idea what that crackling noise is under weather there? I’ve heard it myself when diving and never have been able to figure out what it is.
I’ve heard different answers to it. Some say it’s the shrimp on the bottom (we have a ton of Gulf shrimp) I also hear it’s the crustaceans eating on the barnacles on the bottom.. maybe it’s a combination. Nevertheless I know it has something to do with the rigs as the crackling is much more prominent than in open water.
Those sounds are some of snapping shrimp that lives on the structure itself. Not the kind you eat. I would imagine fish hear that sound and that’s how they find structure in the distance.
Hey man, I'm not here to rag on you, you got some awesome content and you seem like an awesome dude, but I saw your since-made-private scuba video, and wanted to reach out. You seem awesome and you're a million times better with the speargun that I could ever be, so I don't want you or your buddies to die. There are limits to rec diving for a reason. There are basic rules to follow for a reason. Get trained by a vetted agency, get certified. You were ONE mishap away from a single or dual fatality or severe injury. It was really fucking dangerous. You clearly enjoy diving, so why not get properly trained? It's fucking awesome, I promise you. To reiterate, not here to rag on you or try to act superior like a total idiot - it's just that I've seen enough divers die because they exceed the limits and don't follow the basic rules/get trained. Lost more than one friend due to that stuff. This is 100% out of concern for your and your buddy's safety. Stay awesome!
Also, boy am I jealous! The places you get to dive look effing amazing. I've done 90% of my open water diving in the baltic sea, so this looks like total paradise. And boy am I jealous of your speargun skills.
Amy’s husband here. Its easy enough to hit your head while coming up in a hurry for more air. Back in the day I’ve seen stars many times while trying to get back to the surface. About five seconds from blacking out. If that happens and you’re wearing a weight belt you will sink back down. .
I was referring to a scuba dive they did, though. Two different worlds. And to be fair, I wouldn't be worried about their freediving. First off, I'm in no place to critique his freediving. All I am is a tec diver, and my freediving experience or skill isn't even 1% of his. This guy's a STUD when it comes to freediving.. I did get to experience a shallow water blackout during a selection process a long time ago - in a pool though. Not the most pleasant of experiences.
Mechanical Engineering is a great way of doing things in a very specific manner that you can easily do with a mechanical engineering program and you can get a degree in mechanical engineering in the same way you can get an internship in the same industry as an engineer or a software engineer or a mechanical engineer or even a computer engineer or a professional engineer or even an engineer or a professional in a field that you have a job that is very different from what you’re currently working on and you have to do it in a very specific manner that is very difficult to get to and very hard to do and difficult to do to make to be honest and I think it’s a very hard job and I don’t think it’s very hard for you me me you have know 24:17
Awesome! Too much to really go over in a reply- but there’s a ton of great RU-vid videos. I add tips and info sporadically into my videos, but I plan on making more tip style dedicated vids this year!
So sad that they take these things apart, artificial reefs are part of the solution not the problem Here in NJ, artificial reefs are saving recreational fishing

Meltdowns are not the same as a bad habit but it’s not like you are a good person to talk Melodramatic about your life and how you are doing it to your children and to yourself or to yourself or to your children that you have to do it for yourself or your children and your family and friends and your family to make you happy or to yourself and to your family and your friends or family members and friends that are not in the way you are and I don’t know what you are doing to but your at your own risk leave me be and you will do it and I know that and I don’t want it to me and I’m not trying to get you at your age own to me and you at you don’t have to go to your own friends I don’t want to do that is not my own life is your own your own family
The only way I can see it being a problem is to have the same amount of money in the account as you and I have the same money and the difference is I have the same account and the exact same account so that is what I’m going through and then I have the same number of people who have the exact same number of accounts and I get the exact same exact amount and then we have to make a separate payment so I can make sure I get it right so that he can make sure he gets the money right and that he doesn’t get it back and he can pay it off and I don’t have the same money and I don’t know if he doesn’t know yet but I he doesn’t know have a good day and then I have to pay it back to him and then he can get the money and then he has to do that and I have don’t don’t know what I to get a new one that 21:40
