 "My
name is Martin Lewis, born 21st September 1969 in Pembroke, West
Wales.
Most of my time offshore has been spent in the North Sea, UK &
Dutch sectors but I spent most of 1995 working in the Irish Sea off
Cork and also off my home Pembrokeshire coast.
I am currently working on the Exxon Mobil 'Jade' platform (seen
above) offshore Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, Central West
Africa."
Martin is the Radio Operator / Heli-Admin on
'Jade'. The website he has put together is magnificent and, amongst
other fascinations, it includes comprehensive information for anyone
interested in working on the rigs.
From presenting yourself in the right way to
attract job offers to remembering to visit the loo (WC) before the
helicopter taking you to your first rig takes off, Martin covers
every detail in an interesting and helpful way.
Even if you're not interested in working on a rig,
if you've ever wondered what it's all about this site should go a
very long way towards satisfying your curiosity. You may also find
yourself in Ham Radio heaven, too, if you click the right button...
