People say it’s temporary… Make your own definition of temporary… General consensus is one year. I’ve personally had 6 (now going on 7) lean years out of (going on) 29 years in the ROV industry. 1991 being the worst (only 89 days of work).
Also, due to the lemming-type drop of the pound / offshore rates (GBP payers) still paying the same rates when it was 1 to 2 US$, it’s not very attractive at the moment. I’m sitting til’ I lose an inch or 2 on my waist!
