I am a dummy, what is a coil unit?
O&G service unit that has a reel of continuous pipe. They run the pipe in the well and can attach different tools to it to drill, clean, P&A, etc.

Unfortunately there were.

Id like to see ANYBODY from the OT try and dive a wreck for recovery in 6ft seas tethered wearing a dive helmet.
The thought of it shrivels my balls. NFW I could do it.

I’ve dealt with commercial divers for the past 22 years and I can for certainly say those dudes are not right in the head, but they are extremely intelligent as it pertains to their trade, aside from that the gases have eaten up all their brian cells, you put them on a job they will complete it.
I have a lot of respect for those divers for what they are doing
After the search and rescue op is complete, the salvage op is going to be very interesting especially after the investigation into what exactly caused this tragedy

So, nothing new over the last two days except the two in the engine room? I have been busy and haven’t been able to follow as closely.

I think they’re around waiting for perfect conditions. But with the loop current just getting started it might be a few more months.

Slight hijack here, but I watched a documentary last night on Netflix called "Last Breath". It's about these saturation divers, which are the guys that live in these pods for a month filled with Oxygen and Helium pressurized to the depth they're working at on the seabed. In this case, it was 300m in the North Sea. Just that, before they even dive, is a testament to these guys being a little crazy in the head.
Anyways, they go down on their first dive to change out some pipe on a manifold. After a little while the support boat their air, warm water, and comms line is attached to loses its gps and autopilot system that keeps them on top of the divers. The vessel starts drifting in 35 knot winds and drags the divers who are scrambling to get back up. One guys umbilical gets caught on the structure and snaps. He's got about 5 mins of emergency gas in a small bottle.
Well, he ends up underwater for like 37 mins and they have an ROV beside him watching this guy twitch and shite as he drifts off. I cannot imagine the horror that went through that guys mind. Pitch black, 4 degree celsius water, and suffocating. Unreal and scary as hell.
/End Hijack.

Watched when it came out. Seriously had anxiety. No lie.

I saw in the SL Scanner page on Facebook that level three was cleared without finding anyone. Moving to level 2.

Anyone that is familiar, or worked offshore knows what it will be... lay the blame on someone else, ultimately falling on the dead captain...
What they won’t tell you is the company man put pressure on the OIM, which in turn put pressure on the captain to leave dock.
fricked up situation all the way around, however this time it cost a lot of guys there life..

So that article says that they know there are air pockets.
I’m clueless — how can they know for sure that there are? I mean there “should be” but who truly knows?? Can they really yell?
Also how if they are moving to level two from three, are they working their way up or down? It’s under water so I’m assuming 3 is on “top” since it’s upside down?

Air rises in water. Gotta move from the bottom up.. kinda like popping the cork on a champagne bottle. If You start at the top, you release all the pressure inside which means no more air pockets.

So I found a pic of the floors on the sp scanner — they have level one and two left .. and then the galley. Does that provide any hope that they weren’t on the very bottom? Would they have been expected to be there?
(Were two previously found in the engine room? That’s the very bottom meaning the top at this point ..)

That picture was helpful on showing the layout. Praying for those men and their families.

Those levels of the vessel are now on an inverted angle. It really depends on what doors were shut, and what weren’t. Which unfortunately, I doubt Very many, if any, had all of there latches dogged down.

What is protocol/SOP for latches when the conditions were that poor? Is everything latched up typically?

Depends on the captain in my experience. Some are sticklers and will have ever non-essential door dogged down so they only need to lock down a couple. Others DGAF and would ride out a Cat 5 with the doors wide open because frick it, that’s why.

watertight doors should always be secured while underway
especially in those conditions...

I was always on boats “240ft to 400ft” vessels. My first boat was an old as 240ft boat.
That being said, we never dogged down the doors other than once. That was when we knew we were going into bad stuff.
A jack-up rig is a totally different animal.. it’s basically a barge with an engine, living quarters, and a bridge.
