Cool dive pictures.

No not much for fishing here in the North Sea around the rigs.
There were tons off fish drawn to the rig while I was off the Ivory Coast (west Africa) for a few trips. Huge schools of tuna and then everything that ate them, barracuda, sharks, etc.
Here in the North Sea you will see a few fish around the well head....nothing to major though.

Lots of crying babies.....and air miles : )


I am in the Directional Drilling business. It's been a long time since I worked offshore. That 6th. Generation semi-submersible must be awesome!

Yes the 6th gen semi is a beast. Dual Derrick. It's pretty big.
It's 418 feet tall from the bottom of the pontoons to the crown.
Only bad thing is lots of stairs! But that's actually good for me I suppose!

Those are really cool pictures. Are you allowed to take any of the rig you are on? It sounds very impressive!
