If you go to the Aramco compound you have seen little America,if I remember rightly the accomadation compound was U.S.A,they even had a PX.Aramco only hire diving inspectors directly,back when I worked out there they only had 2 inspectors.I was working for a company called Algosaibi diving,based down at west pier (raheima)please excuse my spelling as I know how to say it,not spell it.Aramco have always contracted their diving work out.Most of Algosaibi's divers are either British or American,if you were ever interested in taking up comercial diving in the Gulf go down to West pier and talk to the guys in the Algosaibi offices there.You will need an Aramco pass to get down to West pier,as I remember there are about 4 or 5 check points between the main road and West pier.I would recommend working out there as a diver to anyone,a good,good life.I spent nearly 2 years 3 months on/2 months off,I loved it.Where are you based?It brings back some happy memories talking to you.Will catch ya later bud,take care and be lucky.
