Had ta do lot of water training in louisana to get your offshore rig pass. Had ta recert on it all to work on the Black sea also.
Going into a helicopter dunker upright with rockfish is fun. Going in, then submerged and flipping upside down with rockfish is even better. Yes you can hear screaming underwater. unbelievable dumb ass.... you just lost all your air to work your rebreather.
LOL!!!
Some of the schitt they made us do for 4 days of fire and water training that I was seeing.
Got me to thinking the last thing I wanta experience is being in the water any lenghty amount of time with some of the rockfish coworkers , and the only ones I would reasonably try to help to survive would be ones staying calm and not waste energy on panicked ones who wont calm down just based on training for it and seeing how some of em were just in that.
Kinda funny in training I was looking at rockfish to help and rockfish to not waste energy on . Your a weak swimmer and proven prone to panic in a training envoirment. Schit gets real,,, it wont be pretty like in a pool and simulator.

Offshore Water Survival and Fire Fighting Training are good courses to have taken.

Never knew how to swim, The best i could do it 4" on a swimming pool. i just keep getting down into the water no matter what i do. Just cant stay ontop. But i have always want to know how too as i find it very fascinating.
