Thankfully...
...I've witnessed nothing worse than the odd bug infested animal corpse. I watched over the course of months blackbird turn from a corpse to a perfect skeleton.

My brother had to cut down some guy who had hung himself.

The best story I've heard was of my Grandad (on my dads side) He died long before I was born, but I'm told he was an illiterate fool with a severe temper.

Back in those days your career choices were limited and more often than not you took what you could. One day he was asked to do some 'recovery' work on a recent ship wreck. He and another diver had to collect the corpses of the cook and captain, as my Grandad no doubt fought back the urge to vomit in his suit, he somehow decided if he grabbed the corpses arm whilst not looking then it would no longer be a corpse.

It was only when it dawned on him what he was pulling seemed light that he turned, only to see he was clasping a torn off arm rather than a body that he did vomit in his diving suit.

Another time, he was searching for 2 missing divers in a dual lake, one higher up that fed a smaller, lower down one via a pipe that got very thin towards the end. Apparently, said divers had took it upon themselves to find out why the top lake was no longer feeding the lower one and found there to be a sheet of metal blocking the pipe. Instead of attaching the metal to something and then pulling it out, they dragged it away from the pipe and were instantly sucked in by the sheer force of the water and were crushed to death as the pipe narrowed.

Whats a dual lake? I don't really understand how all that was working in your post?
