[USMC0861]

This is what happened (I warned you)

Me and my dive team were briefed on a dive job with some unfamiliar equipment, training on how to set it up, how deep, how long and what decompression table we were going to use for the saturation dive. Blew down in a can (saturation habitat) got into a bell (dive bell) went to work, came back up, back in the can (this went on for a few days) and by the time I got out of the can (decompression) we were back in port. Wasn't till a few years later that I figured out that we installed a parell relay transmitter and encryption unit(read "phone bug" aka "wire tap") on a russian layed trunk line (a cable as round as a 55 gallon barrel.)

At the time it was a job like any other. (except that we were using some one else's non US ship which was kinda wierd, and now I know why.) No cloak and dagger crap, or KGB divers with spear guns after me. Just another boring ass job that just happened to be kind of interesting later in life.
