Anyone watching this show on History Channel: Deep Sea Salvage...?
It seems to me that very little of it is actual "deep sea" activity.
I have watched 4 episodes.
While half of one episode did deal with saving a sunken rig structure in 100+ feet of ocean (wherein one diver gets the bends and has to be rushed into the recompression chamber), the remainder of the 4 episodes seem to revolve around harbor and river jobs and a happy-go-lucky, accident prone, good 'ol boy named Lunchbox who seems to be the comic relief for cast and crew.
Lunchbox backs the heavy excavator into a pool of mud and gets stuck: "Ain't my fault."
Lunchbox drives the barge crane into high power tension wires that span the canal: "Ain't my fault."
Lunchbox falls down into the water and the crew laughs, calling him Humpty-Dumpty: "Ain't my fault.".
Oh... that Lunchbox, he's so silly.
Granted I know nothing of Bisso Salvage corporate culture or salvage ops culture in general, but the way the job-site antics and "shrug-off" accidents-that-could-have-easily-been-prevented are portrayed don't seem too professional to me.
