Middle East and Asia

I have been working in the Middle East and Asia for the last few years as a project manager and sat superintendent. I like working in these areas and well take on any project thrown my way. I broke out as a bell diver in GOM in 1974. I have been kicking around the industry every since and am still having fun at it. I am alwasy looking for new and interesting things to do. I try to live and persue the four basic truths in life.

CV,S and all certs in a readable format.. Documentation is a must. Sat jobs are what you want, Surface dive jobs they just use third world divers that cost less. Most jobs are IMCA but not all require IMCA divers. All companies fallow IMCA guide lines, Although I did one end of the year that was NORSOK regs because it was for StatoilHydro even though the job was in Iran..

Hey Roger, Im in same boat as Marc...sent loads of c.v's out to the point its getting on my nerve's, as all i get back is "put you on are database". Im an Air Diver have the H.S.E. part 1, also have the offshore survival combined. Do you know any companies that are taking on? I noticed you say they take on third world divers....that makes me feel sick. Spend alot of money getting in to this business just to be knocked back.

Tim the best recourse I see at the present for USA divers is to get certified in Canada. It is reconized by IMCA. If you want the Web Sight go to the DIT sight and find it there. I am traveling today but well be in the Mumbai office on the 16th

Hi Roger,

Still trying to get into the market there but it's a bitch. Work in the GOM is slow. Any advise you may send my way would be a help. Take Care, Ron Tivey

Ron,
I have been talking with Dan at C-Diver and a few others. Iam working on putting together a hit list of what is needed for crossover.
Roger
