Home for the holidays...

Well, I went out as a diver on a team from MADCON underwater services Corp. based out of Pearl River, LA.

The first project was working for Horizon Energy doing recovery operations from platforms damaged in both Katrina and Rita.

For most of the month of November we divided our time between shore at a standby rate waiting on weather to break and being offshore performing inspection, jetting, and removal operations.

During one of our standby periods we were able to repair a leak on a line for Pioneer Oil as well.

I have been running a project for Swift Energy since the beginning of December and thankfully was able to take a break for the holidays. I am home with my family for about ten days. I will be heading out again on 3 Jan 2006 for about three weeks and then coming in for a conference in Tampa, FL. Underwater Intervention is the annual gathering of the Association of Diving Contractors normally held in New Orleans, LA but due to the storm this year it will be held in Tampa.

After the convention I will be taking my wife and daughter to Disney for a short break before heading back out.
