False, it clearly says NYD (New York Diving) on their gear.
(/s)
To make sure this isn't entirely a shit comment it looks like their helmet has a flip down welding protection filter maybe? Also, is that yellow thing a dive knife?
I cannot imagine how hard I would shit my ocean if I was out swimming and one of these dudes rolled up on me out of the water, as I have submechanicaphobia and thelassiaphobia, this is such a terrible and good meeting point of the two fears, and is spine tingling-ly creepy in the best way.
Wat so this is Mamdani fixing all the metal in newyork-underwaters? /s
I'm sure it's New York Department
POV: You work for the New York Parking Authority. You could be out writing tickets, but it's your department's turn to fight the electricity at the bottom of the ocean.
For Big Brother, ofc.
