Vung Tau offshore, Vietnam, my first experience
« on: October 12, 2008, 03:46:08 AM »

After encouraged by Spamz.. i also write up my trip details.. haha.. will keep updating coz i'm still on the job..

My job is about spool piece installation in Vung Tau, Vietnam, the oil city in Vietnam just like Miri in Sarawak.

Green river, wetsuit, booties, coverall ready




So flight begin from Kuching to KL and from KL to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh city is chaotic IMHO and Vung Tau seen much more organized and clean. Seen a forwarded picture of messy wire? I saw it in Ho Chi Minh City too



Don't mess with motorcycles in Vietnam... every where..



Ringgit to VND (Vietnamese Dong) is around RM1 to VND4744 so now am super rich



Vung Tau is beautiful



My Cabin



Saturation Chamber control panel



HRC, thanks for posing David, LST (life support technician)



Dive med lock for item transfer



Diving gas used for saturation diver



Messy sat system cables



Bell launching





Wear your harness!! if not you will need to swim up!



Gym room



Sauna!



Offshore... pretty



Rang Dong



Air Diving wetbell



Air diving gas control



Air diving communication panel



Burning!!




Hope u guys like it!

Cool.... Vietnam is the new China and there will be plenty of oil exploration activities in the coming years. So commercial divers will have plenty of jobs lined up.

Thanks for sharing those pictures, buddy..

food was great... u can choose from, kari, rendang, salad, belacan, roti canai, briyani, fish and chip, steak, spaghetti, corn flakes, bread, cheese, mee hoon..

u can drink milo, kopi, tea, juice, milk, of course plain water.. and alcohol is strictly prohibited

they have fruits too. excellent for me..

Very interesting indeed. I have always wondered what commercial (technical?) diving involves. Thanks for sharing your experience. More photos perhaps?
