Dont think weve had it. The Bibby Topaz was right up close to us, metres away from the platform. Got a good look at it and could see everything was immaculate.

Seen that in the harbour heaps, don't really do boats though. I'm a crane engineer.

I like my supply vessels for some reason - they're quite nice ships, SBS Tempest etc.

Cool! Nice to see brand new vessel! Was on the Seawell for about 2 hours today. Cracking bunch of lads and a right good laugh!

Was down in the Diving Control room. Didnt know this but these guys spend Up to 28 days in those Compression chambers spending 6 hours on the sea bed a day!!! The Chamber must only be 2m wide tops and 5m long!!

DP is cool

Based onshore, offshore now and again once I've done my survival and ISSOW and all that jazz...

Enermec, that's a swear word in our work - that's like Celtic vs. Rangers

They just stole out Marathon contract off us the dirty bastards they are!

Dive Control Room is where the Divers live for the 28 days in compressed chambers mate. It's also where the Diver supervisors monitor everthing happening on the Seabed and make sure that the guys air as the right mixture in it.

I didnt see where the ROV was operated from bud but I assume it's in the same part of the vessel. Clever things those!!
