Cal Dive International, Inc. is a marine contractor providing manned diving, derrick, pipelay and pipe burial services to the offshore oil and natural gas industry. Based on the size of our fleet, we are the market leader in the diving support business, which involves services such as construction, inspection, maintenance, repair and decommissioning of offshore production and pipeline infrastructure, on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf, or OCS. We also provide these services directly or through partnering relationships in select international offshore markets, such as the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Oman, Egypt and Saudi Arabia), Singapore, Australia, Dubai, Trinidad, Indonesia, Central and  South America. Based in Houston, Texas, we currently own and operate a diversified fleet of 34vessels, including 24 surface and saturation diving support vessels as well as 10 construction barges. Our customers include major and independent oil and natural gas producers, pipeline transmission companies and offshore engineering and construction firms.

Since 1975, we have provided essential marine contracting services in support of oil and natural gas infrastructure throughout the production lifecycle, including production platforms, risers, subsea production systems and pipelines, on the Gulf of Mexico OCS. Our services include saturation, surface and mixed gas diving, enabling us to provide a full complement of marine contracting services in water depths of up to 1,000 feet. We provide our saturation diving services in water depths of 200 to 1,000 feet through our fleet of ten saturation diving vessels and ten portable saturation diving systems, which we believe is the largest saturation diving support fleet in the world. We also believe that our fleet of diving support vessels is among the most technically advanced in the industry because a number of these vessels have features such as dynamic positioning, or DP, hyperbaric rescue chambers, multi-chamber systems for split-level operations and moon pool deployment, which allow us to operate effectively in challenging offshore environments. We provide surface and mixed gas diving services in water depths typically less than 300 feet through our 15 surface diving vessels. We also have seven vessels dedicated exclusively to pipelay and pipe burial services in water depths of up to approximately 700 feet. Pipelay and pipe burial operations typically require extensive use of our diving services; therefore, we consider these services to be complementary. Additionaly we own two derrick barges and one combination derrick/pipelay barges.

The scheduling flexibility afforded by our large fleet, our wide range of capabilities and the advanced technical skills of our personnel, enable us to manage turnkey projects while assuring our customers of on time performance. We also have an established presence in the salvage market.
