They often involve foreign travel or meeting famous and interesting people. Here is a look at someone who likes his dangerous occupation in spite of the danger, and at why he doesn't it. Gilbert Michael Pitts is a freelance cameraman. He does a lot of his work underwater. Michael has been diving since he was about nine years old. He says that he was on holiday with his parents and a friend had a snorkel. He tried it and "that was it -ever since I first put my head under water I've fascinated by diving. Later on he went on a four-month commercial diving course. His commercial diving career included underwater photography-stills and video (to inspect oil rigs)- underwater burning,planting explosives and connecting pipelines. I'm not frightened or apprehensive", he says, "because it's a medium I ve been working in for such a long time. It's something that I love. I am frightened of certain things, but they certainly don't include diving in water. I think it's a matter of experience and just being at ease in that environment".
