Discoverer Deep Seas is the name of the ship.

Thought I recognized the name of that ship. 

Owned Transocean (RIG) stock since '97. 

Is Transocean considered your employer??

Discoverer Deep Seas profile & spec.'s: http://www.deepwater.com/fleetspecifications.cfm?ID=573

Here's a cool factoid:  "Our ultra-deepwater drillship Discoverer Deep Seas set the current world water depth drilling record in 10,011 feet of water in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in November 2003 working for ChevronTexaco."
1971 Charger R/T, 440 H.P., Auto, A/C Daily Driven (till gas went nuts).  NOW IN CARS FOR SALE SECTION: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,48709.0.html

Are you a diver on that ship?

I'm a licensed commercial diver/underwater welder - just wondering if you know any of them onboard - its a small world.

I am the Chief Mate, Chevron is getting the new Construction ship (to be owned by Transocean) to add to their fleet"M/V Clear Leader" which construction will start this year. The Clear Leader will be able to drill in water depths of 15,000  :yesnod: Bunch of new constructions going on in the industry.

As for underwater diving we have a Subsea 7 ROV, we have no manned diving, when we do its third party for underwater hull inspections and the like.

Moparhound, RIG has you laughing all the way to bank these days I bet! I have been employed by them since 2000, before that I was an Oceaneering hand.
