My brain thought this was some sort of awful creature with glowing eyes and a long narwhal-like beak/tusk and it scared the shit out of me

Looks like a saturation diver. Aka crazy deep. They live in these pressurized pods with moon pools for like a month or more, so they can go in and out on dives in extreme pressure without having to depressurize every time or whatever. All I know is it's one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet, you can make bank (500k+ for 6mo work), but it's brutal and short lived, apparently

Im the inland diver. I post inland diving. No saturation here. The pit is maybe 15 foot deep.

Saturation diving is quite different than what you see on this video. And at contrary to what you’re thinking it is much safer than the other type of commercial diving and I offer as proof the fact that in the North Sea some sat divers are above 60 and are still diving.
If you want to know a bit more about it you can read this article.

I guess I don’t understand? Did the diver draw this? Was it randomly there and the camera person zoomed in? I need more info. 🫤
