Routine maintenance of deep-sea cables and pipelines is exacting and
plainly dangerous work, and, one might conclude, seldom routine.

It's also entirely populated by males. One wonders why the feminist
"anything a man can do" types haven't made their presence known in the profession.

I have a confession to make - I generally avoid movies with all dude casts.
I understand men. I am one. Men don't interest me.
Sure, if it's a lone dude (esp. Jason Statham) wasting an entire town
full of thugs and wastrels, I'm down for that.
But if a movie is just a bunch of dudes, and it's a sausage fest, then
I'm usually not interested.
YMMV.

It's also clear that these dives place a strong premium on physical strength.

You out on a great movie by skipping SAVING PRIVATE RYAN.
And 12 ANGRY MEN was also quite good.

I've been told by the feminists that physical strength doesn't matter. They can do anything a man can do. And the more arrogant ones will add "and do it better" to the end of that sentence.
More to the point, it's a dangerous, grueling, often terrifying job and the feminists seem to have no interest in doing it. They only want equality in jobs where you sit behind desks in air conditioned buildings wearing the latest in high fashion. When it comes to the jobs that undergird the civilization that makes their pampered lives possible, they have no interest in being fairly represented among the workforce. When was the last time you saw a chick spreading hot asphalt on a stretch of highway in Arizona in the summertime?
