Basically mate this company is a body shop which has previously screwed more guys than an orgy in a gay bar. Late pay, No pay, take Bills advice, steer clear.
Its Nigeria and the war lord clans have taken the gloves off and removed the ceasefire and anyone in the offshore sector is fair game for kidnapping and taking shots at.
It’s a war zone and any insurance you have is invalid.
OK putting the hard man attitude on. Hope the company of guys you are with are as well trained as most in fire fight will run or give up and the company won’t be providing a full compliment of suitable armoury to fight back. If the bullets don’t get you the Malria will if taken hostage.
Here is the address anyway

All right Derek. I'll take all what you said in consideration. Thank's any way fro the address.
No matter where or how you die. Some rebels kill you in Nigeria or one crazy driver runs over you in your country.... What has to happen it will happen, never escape.

If those companies are so famous of being no payers, how they work at all, where they get divers and any time I call them they always reject my Cv saying that they have no vacancies.

Depends how desperate one is..many go on for years, short paying, holding back wages, requiring infinite correction, the cheque is in the mail, not paying promised rates, etc. go over to longstreath.com ask if anybody has been screwed by low life diving outfits..its happened to me. At some point in time outrageous complaining can affect the relationship between the diving contractor and the oil company, and the penny drops, rarely permanently. Hey, we are all grown ups with free will, a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do-right?
