hello…i’m new here and i would like to ask a few questions

I have a HND in mechanical engineering and i’m very interested to start a
career in ROV. However, i do not really have much practical experience in
hydraulics/electrical/electronics as i have just graduated. Can anyone give me any advice on how i should start?

Since an ROV pilot/technician works with both hydraulics & electrical/electronics, does color deficiency affects a person’s chances of getting into this field? Or should i say a person with color deficiency has no chance at all?

Thank you very much to anyone who can advice on this matter…

I have read quite a bit in this forum and there’s a lot of optimists and pessimists but good reading and advise.
has anyone tried global Marine or do most of you head north to bonny scotland?

I knew a guy who was deaf in one ear and colour blind and he was doing well offshore. Obviously being colour blind will stop you doing certain aspects of the job but as long as the guys you work with know then there shouldn’t be a problem.

Good Luck
