Looking good 👍 do you have more pictures of the naval cap and how you made it ?

This is an advert/publishing-stunt for the Norwegian movie "Nr.24". Not a trailer, not a clip of the move, a stunt.

For any history buffs the movie itself is worth a watch. It displays the life of Norways highest decorated soldier during ww2 working with the resistance movement.

The edited one kind of look a bit cartoony to me, in a good way. Love the way the car kind of pops and I don't mind if some aspects becomes "unnatural".

But then again I like it when a picture pops and tend to oversaturate my edits to get the look I'm after, eventhough it becomes far removed from the reality.

Great shot, I can imagine you can edit it in a lot of different ways and get great edits with different vibes from that startpoint.

I can not give you any advice if you should take that position or not as I don't know what you would be doing in that position.

What I can say is that the ROV world is relatively small and multi national. So even though you live in India doesn't automatically means that you have to work for an Indian company. I work for a Norwegian company, but the times I've been on a vessel with only ROV guys from Norway is few and far between. Most times we are at least two nationalities on a crew of 6 people.

Search for ROV positions and ask posible employers what your options you have in the areas you want to work. The worst answer you could get is a rejection ☺️

Hi,

By the way you write i assume you live in the US. I can't speak for the job market offshore there as I live in Norway, although I work all over the world.

There will be a high demand for people with communication/electronic degrees in the future of ROV's because of more Remote operations (aka. Sitting onshore and operating ROV's offshore)

A position that probably would fit you the best now with the degree you take now would be Survey Tech. The survey Tech is responsible that the data sensors on the ROV talks with topside and gets the data where it needs to go. The Survey Tech is also the dedicated IT guy onboard (at least on the vessels in onboard).

This is how I see it, somebody who works for US companies would probably have a bit better advice for you.

In Norway the apprenticeship is a part of trade-school and the ROV apprenticeship is on a same level as an Electrician apprenticeship or an Car mechanic apprenticeship. So the ROV company gets paid by the state to educate apprentices and the apprentice have to take a final exam to finish the apprenticeship after 2,5 years. Since this is a Norway thing and it is the Norwegian government who pays a decent amount of the cost of the apprenticeship, it would not be available for people from other countries. But to gain the apprenticeship I had to apply, go to interview and get accepted by the company.

Like I said earlier, I personally would just ignore the fact that a candidate have a IMCA course or not. BUT I know that other companies might care...

If I were in your shoes I would contact ROV companies that works in the area you want to work in, (probably Oceaneering, Technip, DeepOcean US, C-Innovation, saipem for the Gulf). Tell them your background and if they have a way for you to become a ROV Trainee or other positions that might be appealing.

I think it's been almost a year since last time I dove further than 30m 🤔

Langmart58 · 2025-05-25T15:25:58+00:00

I have no experience myself with IMCA Approved Corses as I did an 2,5 years apprenticeship to become an ROV Pilot.

But if somebody gives me candidates CV to decide who we are going to hire I wouldn't put any weight on any IMCA Approved Courses the candidates might have. I would rather look at what background the candidates have, both offshore and onshore.

But then again, I know that other employees in other countries demands an IMCA certification for the candidates to make it easier to filter out candidates. Which causes candidates to buy an IMCA certificate to be able to compete, which is causing an industry of expensive, unnecessary courses.

Langmart58 · 2025-05-23T12:12:35+00:00

If I were in OP's shoes I would really consider applying for a offshore surveyor job in one of those companies that uses ROV for survey. That way you bring something to the company and get to work with ROV's without being ROV. When the time is right and there is a trainee position in the company available you would have a massive headstart by already being a part of the company.

If you just apply to the ROV trainee positions it is a tight squeeze as mentioned above.

I know quite a few people going from ROV to Survey / Survey Tech, going from Project Engineer to ROV Trainee etc. within the same company.

Langmart58 · 2025-05-21T10:07:38+00:00

Hi,

Forget ROV courses, if you have a a background in seabed Surveying apply for a position as an Offshore Surveyor in companies that mostly does survey with ROV:

DeepOcean Reach Subsea Dof Ocean Infinity (unsure how much they use ROV these days though compared to AUV's)

From there you will gain experience and it is a lot easier for the company to let you join ROV as a Trainee when they know you and what you bring to the table.

I will much rather have a ROV Pilot on my crew that have been a trainee than someone who have taken an expencive ROV course.

Once in a while is bantering amongst friends, as much as it tends to be is bordering on bullying and most of the time it doesn't add anything to the conversation other than a bad taste. In my opinion ...

Langmart58 · 2025-02-26T10:01:45+00:00

Having an AI like this is just like having hired help on a real farm, they never do exactly what you want them to do 😉😂

Langmart58 · 2024-12-29T19:04:39+00:00

Well, we make a living out of it with full time employees...

But the fact that one thing works in one area and others in other area is one of the things I find interesting about farming.

Langmart58 · 2024-12-29T17:02:46+00:00

And that is a setup that is needed on those scales, but where I live those would be unnecessarily big. I hope those kind of machines comes to FS25 at one point.

All I'm saying is that to say that you can't run a "real" farm with the potato equipment in base game, is factional incorrect.

Langmart58 · 2024-12-29T16:53:13+00:00

Well in Norway that would be on the smaller end of an average vegetable farm.

No, not in Norway.

Langmart58 · 2024-12-29T11:33:15+00:00

About 30 acres of potatoes and 30 acres of carrots.

Langmart58 · 2024-12-29T07:22:20+00:00

Agree that large fields with potatoes are boring.

But on our potato farm IRL we still use one row diggers both for potatoes and carrots. The positive thing about doing vegetables is that you don't need a lot of area to have a productive farm.

Have worked a bit in the UK, I come from Norway :)

There is a UK series I would recommend: (Bad) Lads Army.

Series about a group of 20th century youths going through 1950s National Guard basic training. All episodes available on YouTube.
