New from Scotland - in Patong end Nov



Hello all,

All but one visit has been to Phuket (1 to Samui).

Coming from the Island off the NW coast of Scotland where we have snow on the hills right now, o looking forward to some heat!

See you in the Mai Tai as well as all over, watch out for me in the Dazed and Confused t shirt :-)

cheers, Ray

Cool Welcome

I have had the pleasure of yomping over your island many times in the past.From Glen Brittle to the Cullin ridge.

The Drambuie is great but the mozzies eat you alive.

Welcome aboard.. Have a few resident joystick jockeys over here.. Believe that was the main trade of the ex owner of the offshore bar..

Err, funnily enough yes However we are only taking on Trainees who live in Western Europe, not LOS. All permenant staff must live in Western Europe as well.

The only way you could work through us is via a UK Agency. There is LOADS of ROV work offshore right now, especially West Africa (mainy cos those with sense will not go and work down there and risk being kidnapped, shot, malaria etc.)

Funny you should mention this, i am in Angola right now, and have spent the last 5 years in West Africa, so i am actually one of these people with no sense, Malaria yes, friends robbed at gun point the last week, all part of the fun but i really dont fancy working back in a country where they try and steal tax money from me, i dont appreciate that at all.

But if there were positions available after training on a rotation to some of these nice places i would be interested.

Perhaps you could just PM me the name of the company, cant do any harm to see what is available.

Cheers
Simon
