Anyone have any tips for carrying out offshore surveys.

I’ve been part of a couple of offshore surveys, just day visits but I went with a guy who was quite inexperienced himself. I want to get up to speed in this area asap but with my offshore visits been only every couple of months its hard to get the experience.

I may just sound like i’m being impatient but I get the feeling I’m gonna be asked to do surveys on my own soon.

I’ve read the help section on here regarding site visits but does anyone have any tips on some good survey techniques, checklists and what equipment is best to take with you?

Sorry if the question is a bit vague.
