Hello and welcome to the conversation, the programme that brings together two extraordinary women from around the world and allows them to share their personal stories and experiences with each other and us.
I'm Dashiani Navanayagam.
Now, it's easy to conjure up a picture of what it's like to work in construction, engineering and other industrial jobs.
But imagine all of that taking place underwater.
Well, that.
That's the reality of life for commercial divers.
Today.
We're speaking to Sarah Anvari, an underwater welder and supervisor from Canada, and TIff Allen, who's not only a commercial diver, but is one of the world's few highly trained saturation divers.
We'll do a deep dive into what that is later, but first, a very warm welcome to both of you.
Hello.
Hi.
Hey, tiff, you're in the middle of a job right now and you're speaking to us from somewhere in the Irish Sea.
Tell us what you're doing.
I'm working offshore and we're doing, like, an inspection campaign.
So it's a lot of cleaning and inspecting some offshore structures.
And I'm just looking at your background because you're in what looks like a very small cabin, but I can see pictures of your family behind you.
Picture of a dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So this is.
