You're sandblasting paint. The paints used on submarine hulls have some special properties (which I'm not at liberty to discuss). Those properties come at the price of the paint being very bad for you if inhaled--and respirators won't stop all of it, you need a "space suit."

Exactly, and I doubt these workers had spacesuits.

That's nasty work that'll take years off your life.

The special antifouling paint used on a submarine is illegal for civilian use. Very toxic to the environment.......but how many submarines are there compared to pleasure craft ?
