Amazing, back in 2006 he starts work offshore but doesnt actually get any jobs on ROVs. 2011 he is running an ROV training company AND 12 offshore projects.
See? Do the 3 in 1 course in the Philippines like Nelson did and for you too the world is your lobster!

The man said he has 12 projects in Portugal, not offshore. There is no offshore oil & gas industry here so I would guess that we are talking inshore, harbours dams, rivers etc. This person has approached me a few times over the last couple of years but I refuse to become involved with his operations.
As a reminder it was Nelson that copied ROVworld forum categories last year, lock stock and barrel, and added them to his website. To be fair when I tackled him about this he removed it all, hence the rather dead forum on his site.
Whilst I wish anyone the best of luck in any business venture, I do feel that a person needs to be experienced in the work they undertake, or the services they supply, and suggest this may not be the case in this current venture. My perception of this local market is there would just not be the demand for people to attend an ROV training course in Portugal, a country who’s first language is clearly not English. I can’t see people travelling in from outside Portugal to attend either. If we thought there were mileage in it we’d have considered the idea eight years go when we both arrived in Portugal, from Thailand, with years of offshore experience already behind us.
