Summary
I have been working in the oil & gas sector as a diver since 2001 and have been involved in many heavy engineering projects throughout Europe, Asia, Middle East, America as well as South America.
Having completed my Rov Pilot Tech Training I have now moved over to the Rov Sector.
I have an excellent knowledge and understanding of Rov & Diving operations and practice and am experienced in the use of proper Communication to Direct Vessel / Crane movements for the placement of objects subsea to a fixed point.
Prior to Diving I served in HM Forces during various conflicts, Since then I have worked on a regular basis using various techniques and equipment.
