General Discussion/Q & A

How does one become an ROV pilot technician? Where do you begin if your dad, uncle, or brother isn't in the industry?

I was putting together an article when I ran across this one by Pratham Pathak on LinkedIn. I created the Subsea Hub for ROV personnel to network so why not share his article. It's very accurate. A couple things may differ, but not enough to matter. If you know someone that's interested in getting into the ROV industry send them this link. It's very informative. Thanks again for the article Pratham!
