i have no experience of off shore work my self but a good mate of mine works off shore as a absailing spark ,he does 2 weeks on and 1 off,it took him ages to get a regular slot though,he gets about £250.00 per day so the dosh aint great.

is that £250 a day or a week ?

I would say 55 grand + a year is pretty good money but then again, you could earn that without going offshore.
