I could never do this in open water. Terrifying.

This just freaks me the f**k out

my husband does this in the Navy and says they have a guy looking for sharks while the group swims.
SlightlyNormal
With deep and dark ocean beneath? Yeah no, fuck that.

Hapag-Lloyd would freak the fuck out if they knew one of their ships had a swim call.

Is that submechanophobia? Or thalassophobia? Either way, I know what you mean

Its definitely thalassophobia.

@OP Think you could do an AMA? Working on a freighter is something I've wondered about.

I hope your ship isn't near the Gulf of Aden. You guys might have to get going in a hurry...

I work on commercial vessels..this is a very rare sight ..I doubt if any master would allow this..

Then a shark eats you and poops you out.
allibaster12
Used to do this while deployed in the Navy. 1 Captain even got a rubber tube and let us tie it to the small boat. Great times.

Lol been there done that ... 900 ft of water off the coast of Louisiana ... Oilfield Proud

My chief on my vessel was there and saw the whole thing. They say only she got attacked but one guy went missing

Just don't forget to ensure the ladder's fastened properly.
pooplop21
honestly it does look like a pretty shitty ladder.
3nd3rwiggin
Looking at you, Open Water 2.
discombobulatedd
Thanks for the advice, little late though
Somanyquestions
Naaah, they can just lower the ship so the water is at door level!
sonic745
Seriously, they can do this by allowing more water in the ship's ballasts.
LordOsiris
Is there any health risk from anything that might leak from the ship?
shipshipsandships
If everything is working as it should be there is no risk
mikeemoo2071
I don't think he is technically leaking from the ship, but he looks clean enough
Cal1te
Sometimes you get a very fine film of oil at the rear prop bearings on older ships & jumping in anywhere near a thruster would terrify me1/2
Cal1te
asides from that, there isn't really a danger, although there may be sharp edges on the hull below the waterline 2/2
igreatlydislikechickens
It this the same?
ukalliq
It seems like they shouldn't do that.
shipshipsandships
They are two different ships
nomisgnos
you seem to know your ships (judging by your name). My question is why does that ship have that door open? Purpose?
Seuchenclown
take on a harbour pilot I guess
shipshipsandships
Correct these large container ships have their pilot boarding stations near the waterline. Large ladders would be too dangerous
nomisgnos
Thanks for answering. Now my question is why did this guy have it open in choppy water? wouldn't the boat get heavier taking in water?
motophiliac
That's a no, a nope, a fuck no, a no thanks, a nuh-uh, a nah, a no fucking way, a NOOOOOOO!, and a fuck right the fuck off.
KEbmeistergeneral
Being in the water next to something that massive terrified me
eetsumkaus
yeah, some guy's swim trunks show a little bit TOO much
gotanymoreofthemzubats
Same! Even the thought of the astronaut training pool at NASA freaks me the hell out!
scatmanCrothers
Yes, I agree, even if stopped in the open ocean. On the Queen Mary you look into this deep pool to see one of the props on the ship. SCARY!
tranquilomeng
Me too!!! My heart is speeding up over here... Also, there are dozens of us!
thedeepdarkrabbitholeofinternetporn
always wanted to do this while at work on the oil rigs, but then i saw the sharks, and thought better of jumping overboard
polyarchy
amop
man and couldnt the boat leave them in the dust (vapor?)
Cal1te
always wanted to do this while at work on the oil rigs, but then I saw the North Sea...
YourRizzy
Yeah man you don't know whats in that water
BigAdam
That and surface tension, those rigs are high up man. But roughnecks got to do stupid stuff, thats why they are.
JstAnothrLurkr
Those were dolhins
tormundfuckinggiantsbane
1. Sharks like rigs cuz of the fish that like rigs. So, yea, no thanks. 2. sharks like to investigate all that splashing. So, yea, no thank
supergrunt84
Everything in the ocean as well as the ocean its self will try to kill you. No thanks

It's not a plane either. I'm glad we were able to cancel those out.

On North Sea oil rigs, thought never crossed my mind! Water temp near freezing, waves high enough to obscure boats...what am I forgetting?

Not a fan of swimming in open waters did it in the Gulf of Mexico, unsettling to me.
Contundo
does it matter if you see land?

Sometimes, I've been ok in a bay within the Gulf.
