Both, but I'd rather be an astronaut  |

Since Neil Armstrong picked MY b'day to walk on the moon, totally absolutely and always forever will be astronaut.
Besides, those guys were scary brave. Deep sea diving, you could work down to. Travel to space and the moon required complete faith and commitment 'cause you just had to trust it all would work as planned.

Astronauts only deal with occasional little green men.
Deep sea divers must deal with giant clams, giant squids, the kracken, sharks, etc.

Mighty close! Both professions require nerves of steel...When going under the sea, or into outer-space, there is a LOT that can go wrong. I'll go with the astronaut, since it seems to me that even MORE can go wrong... Any major hiccup in EITHER job however, is likely to turn ugly FAST. I recall Clint Eastwood on Johnny Carson relating his first job as a youth, was at a zoo. On his first day, the boss told him to give a lion a suppository... Now THAT would be a MACHO job for sure, EXCEPT Clint apparently passed on the golden opportunity to pursue a much better career in acting, telling the zoo keeper to use his job as a suppository himself... LOL!  Between the drunks, texters, brain-dead, pot-smoking kids in stolen cars and gangsters, I'm beginning to feel like just riding the scoot to Wally World is more "macho" than I wish it was... Hardly a week goes by without having to dodge some moonbat who for no reason veers head-on, directly into oncoming traffic... The spirit of Kamikaze is alive and well in Texas... Interestingly, NOBODY seems to do that on a motorcycle... Probably too difficult to text, and roll a joint while riding a bike...

Astronaut, there are more possibilities to escape off the water if something goes wrong, than escape from the space; nerves of steel definitely.

Space is highly engineered to be as safe as possible.
Water is old school technology, engineered to go down, safety is not a priority.
