Hi!

I'm a french diver in cold and dark lakes (mostly). And more rarerly in salted seas.
See you arround!

Really? That's the french word for scuba diver? That's gotta be right up there with douche.

Even funnier it also means someone in a restaurant kitchen who washes dishes and hauls trash. It's what the hapless protagonist of Ratatouille is initially hired as, translated by Disney as "garbage boy".

What do the French have against divers, I wonder.

Hi! Yes it's called a 'plongeur' in french. 'plonger' = 'to dive' means also 'to immerse'. As a the technic for dishes washing. Therefore, the cleaning guy is also called "plongeur". But I think these guy have no certification for that and don't need diveleader .
