Welcome to the ODIA Website

Welcome to the website of the Company Signatories to the Offshore Diving Industry Agreement (ODIA).

ODIAThe Offshore Diving Industry Agreement (ODIA) is a 3-year collective agreement between 8 diving contractor companies and the RMT trade union, governing minimum rates of pay, allowances and health/injury insurance for UK North Sea diving personnel.

Each company is an individual contractor with its own company structures, commercial and operating frameworks, and arrangements to source, engage, deploy and manage its personnel. The signatory company may not necessarily be ‘the employer’, but each recognises the importance of the ODIA as the ‘industry baseline’ for core pay and conditions for UK North Sea diving personnel.

Company signatory members to the agreement are Acergy, Bibby Offshore, Helix Well Ops, Integrated Subsea Services, KD Marine, RBG, Subsea 7 and Technip. 

Information about our member companies can be found in the members' page.
