I worked for them for almost three years, before Crowley bought them. I learned a lot, and made good money. Dangerous work though, long term deployment. Not good for a family man. Salvage is their game, diving is a small part of it. I like 'em, will work for them again.

Mike,dont I apologise mate ,,I think any SCUBA on a commercial job is stupid,a friend of mine was killed in Hong Kong 10 years` ago changing out a sensor in less than 5 meters of water.
I also agree with previous post ,salvage is in my view the most dangerous of diving jobs,Tony Eke,also a good friend was killed in action working for Titan in Romania a few years back

KEV AND Tone-RIP guys,still missed big time.

yes worked with them for two years providing back up dive service to their tugs.
they are a go go company, but alround good guys, all the way from the top to the bottom.
