talking to Johnny yesterday and he brought this up about the Seadweller put to test to see if it really was water resistant to 4000ft.....so I decided to re-post it as it is a great read with pics....cool.gif

"To be a little satirical it is no wonder petrol has become so expensive, when petroleum employees have so much spare time and are so well paid that they can fool around with 3000 $ watches and 50000 $ equipment on work hours."

Hahaha! Just saw it now! This guy seems to write faster that he can think or document his small head...
When gone on onshore or offshore, we work 12 hours by day during 14 days.
This is the minimum for one rotation when working nationally.
There's some waiting ofcourse and therefor lost time: That's called "Not rushing procedures and not doing like BP"...!
When onshore we have 21 days off after that and 28 days off after any offshore mission.
So when you worked 168 hours in 14 days, you can take those weeks off and still have a full month as any normal worker to say it like that...
So yes, we have much free time but it's just because it's worked out previously.
Personally, I believe this test: Everything seems checking out on the pictures and I would certainly have done it myself if I had the occasion.
When you are working on export(international) and offshore, you can buy yourself at list 4 Sea-Dwellers after one month so why not?
For the oil price: Make me laugh... a 1/4 gallon or liter cost most likely around and over 2 US$ all over Europe so who's crying???

It depend where you are but seriously, working on platforms on the African coast, exposed to pirates day and night and malaria as soon you come near the coast is not what I would enjoy even with 4 S.D on my wristsdog smile.gif
