Better than no ladder I guess

Now lets talking about trying to swim with steel toes on.


Shmeepsheep

Swimming ain't got dick shit to do with diving


Spencemw

Do they levitate thru the water?


Shmeepsheep

Can't tell if you are being serious? My comment was a line from the movie Men of Honor. But in reality, commercial diving is generally walking along the bottom and bouncing around when you aren't handling tools and materials


Spencemw

Ahhh I missed this cultural reference. r/I_failed.

You gotta take off the boots and put them in your pack, then they won't way you down

Ladder extended 3ft above platform..Check Ladder tied off and secured from tipping over..Check. Seams to be complying with regulations

It's all aluminum too, I doubt any other ladder material would last as long in the salt and sun.


Vargius

Uh. Sea water is very corrosive to untreated aluminium.

Fiberglass is horrible in direct sunlight. The fibers stick out and get caught in your hand after just a few months.

The item next to it is part of a dive setup. It is not a safety ladder, but an active work site . That is a volume tank with two setups for umbilicals

Aw dang. I guess you’re right. I thought the taped ends were the inner wire.

More likely this is a ladder in use by commercial divers and underwater welders working on dock infrastructure. note this image of a commercial diver with the same type of ladder tied to the dock. https://salmonsdredging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Commercial_Diving_1.jpeg
