Hi Bill!
 
I know what you mean - I couldn't work in that type of confined space, either - at least now.  When I was younger, the only things that bothered me were BUGS!  $1,000/day sounds good, but I wonder if they get full pay for the decompression time?  
 
Anyway, how are you feeling?  Are you getting any riding in?  The weather out here in California has been nothing short of fantastic, but being bikeless means that it doesn't help me a bit.
 
I hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Folks,
I was watching Science channel last night, about hardhat pressure divers.
I have a nephew that does that in the Gulf. WOW, working at depths unrevealed,
8hr shift, 2 divers working and 1 in the bell as safety. Then they are brought
back to the top and live in a pressure chamber til next shift. They do this
for 21 days then they are off for 21 days. 5 years ago, I know he was making
$1000 a day. Now in my twilite days I have become claustraphobic, and couldn't
doit. The diving bell only holds 3, and the safety man waits in a submerged
capsule the size of a phone both, for 8 hrs. Hello ...$1000 isn't nearly
enough thank you!

After working in elevator shafts, dumbweighter, escalator truss, smoke stacks,
and coal mines, I didn't become claustraphobic until I had my MRI for my neck
problems. But my Doc friend says, "remember that you can get out, and that
you're not entombed", that helps.
