Well....not really ....very dangerous job....very very dangerous job.
I worked offshore way back in the late 70's and early 80's....I hope the conditions are better now than back then....just being on a offshore rig is a huge risk enough.

Just remember the most temperamental of the four is the girlfriend. Probably best to strap on the watch and admire it behind her back while you are hugging her! She will feel loved and you can still check out your watch. It is a win-win situation.

lol! Thanks for your replies! In answer to some questions,
I do dive offshore & North Sea (as all offshore locations) can be dangerous but safety much better in all disciplines since the 'early years', usually wear sea-dweller or Bell & Ross (b & r this trip), and will see if i can find a spare bag for you Johny! demobbing the gear later! like that comment.
Good advice mtrunner!
Like this forum, still quite new to it and finding out lots of info!
Thanks again
Simon
