About Above and Under Water | Badass Professions (1/6)
Stefan Frey is a diving master, underwater welder and captain all in one. The Hamburg native can be found everywhere in northern Germany where underwater construction is required. Burning and welding work, drilling, or the replacement of piles, their operations are coordinated by the ship's master via radio. And with all this work under water, they are also under time pressure. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:41 - Above and Under Water | Badass Professions (1/6) ▷ 47:09 - Credits ------- ------- They are nothing for the faint-hearted: badass professions that demand everything from the men who practice them.
