I now hold a support function for this offshore system that deals with seabottom equipment. But I used to be a "backdeck monkey" myself. It was real dirty work, because the hardware came back on board covered in mud, clay, and whatever else was down there. We always made fun of geophysicists during man over board drills and such, because their coveralls were always the cleanest, to the point of being shiny.

Mine were so dirty they could almost stand upright on their own. And this despite washing them daily.
