Ta med deg laptop + masse filmer så klarer du deg fint
Ikke glem sjøsjuke tabletter hvis du ikke er vant til å jobbe på båt.
Lykke til! |

Are you ships crew or survey crew? As Octarene said in Norsk, take a laptop and movie or books because the 12 hours off can get very boring.
If you are ships crew you will probably be reasonably busy on your shift. If your survey you'll probbaly get bored quite quickly. |

I guess you will be with the survey crew then, maintaining the guns etc.
You wont be bored the first couple of trips while you figure your job out. |

hi willo, well, nothing mutch to tell except that i made a phone call and sent in my applycation inc CV to fugro. It took a while before i got any feedback form them so you have to patience. It took me aprox 3 years to get a offshore job 
I think if you whant a offshore job and can get one this is the time. |

If you've got a techinical background then great start talking to one of the large ROV companies and keep at them, they will trey and fob you off, if you can afford it get your offshore medical and survival this will enhance your chances of getting employed. |
