Diver

I have been looking at this post over the last couple of days and, thinking Andy Riley, is the only diver from Arbroath I know and you just comformed it. Small world, I know Andy as we both work for the same company, I work as a dive tech when not doing tree work. Funny we work on the same boat "Well Enhancer" The hat and gear the diver is wearing in the photos is spot on, its my job to service and look after it. Lots of good youtube vids on SAT Diving, if interested. Good job mate.

Incredible detail, well worth every hour spent! Must be great learning new techniques like steam bending the pipes as well.

its funny reading through the comments i can tell the divers you all pay attention to detail. when i was carving it i would get andy to explain what each bit was and how it works and his attention to detail was constant down to the point i hadnt put a toggle on the jacket zip and he ask me to add one. most peole just look at the carving as a whole but i guess when your life depends on a but of kit and you check it religeously even on a subconsious level you know when somthing isnt quite right and it stands out a mile to you. i like that and it pushed me well out of my comfort zone and to a new level of carving i really enjoyed doing it but i couldnt carve to that detail every time of i think my head would explode.

Well worth the effort mate. I'd do stuff to the N'th degree if I had time to. Sand every mark out and just do the best I could, but i have to have a cut off point somewhere. Especially as I work full time. Not carving unfortunately.

Looks great! Like what you've done with the pipe work, it really sets it off
