PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Recent Developments

Effective November 1, 2000, our Board of Directors changed our fiscal year-end to December 31 from March 31, which was the fiscal year-end used in our last report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. This report covers the nine-month transition period from April 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to fiscal years indicate the twelve months ended March 31 of that year. For example, fiscal 2000 refers to the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2000.

General Development of Business

Oceaneering International, Inc. is an advanced applied technology company that provides a comprehensive range of integrated technical services and hardware to customers who operate in harsh environments such as underwater, space and other hazardous areas. Oceaneering was organized in 1969 out of the combination of three diving service companies founded in the early 1960s. Since our establishment, we have concentrated on the development and marketing of underwater services and products requiring the use of advanced deepwater technology. We are one of the world's largest underwater services contractors. We provide most of our services and products to the oil and gas industry. These include drilling support, subsea construction, design, lease and operation of production systems, facilities maintenance and repair, specialty subsea hardware and specialized onshore and offshore engineering and inspection. We operate in the United States and 18 other countries. Our international operations, principally in the North Sea, Africa and the Far East, accounted for approximately 46% of our revenues, or $142 million, for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000.

We operate in five business segments. The segments are contained within two businesses -- services and products provided to the offshore oil and gas industry ("Offshore Oil and Gas") and all other services and products ("Advanced Technologies"). Our business segments within the Offshore Oil and Gas business are Remotely Operated Vehicles ("ROVs"), Subsea Products, Mobile Offshore Production Systems and Other Services. We report our Advanced Technologies business as one segment. In each of our businesses, we have been concentrating on expanding our capabilities to provide technical solutions to our customers.

OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS. In the last few years, the focus of our Offshore Oil and Gas business has been toward increasing our asset base for servicing deepwater projects and subsea completions. Prior to 1996, we purchased most of our remotely operated vehicles, often referred to as ROVs, which are submersible vehicles operated from the surface and widely used in the offshore oil and gas industry. However, in response to increased demand for more powerful systems operating in deeper water, we expanded our capabilities and established an in-house facility to design and build ROVs to meet the continued expansion of our ROV fleet. This facility was established and became fully operational in January 1998. We have built over 50 ROV systems and we are producing all our new ROVs in-house. In September 2000, we exchanged our diving-related assets in Asia, Australia and the Middle East for 11 ROVs. The diving-related assets were part of our Other Services segment.

In addition to the ROV expansion, we also committed to the construction of two multiservice vessels, the Ocean Intervention and the Ocean Intervention II, which went into service in the fourth quarter of calendar 1998 and the third quarter of calendar 2000, respectively. These multiservice vessels are equipped with thrusters that allow them to be dynamically positioned, which means the vessels can maintain a constant position at a location without the use of anchors. Both vessels can carry and install significant lengths of coiled tubing or umbilicals required to bring subsea well completions into production (tie-back to production facilities). These vessels have been designed for use in pipeline or flowline tie-ins, pipeline crossings and subsea hardware interventions and installations. These vessels are part of our Other Services segment.

Through our Multiflex division, we are a leading provider of subsea hydraulic and electrohydraulic thermoplastic umbilicals. These umbilicals are the means by which offshore operators control subsea wellhead hydrocarbon flow rates. We entered this market in March 1994 through our purchase of the operating subsidiaries of Multiflex International Inc. During fiscal 1999, we constructed a new umbilical plant in Brazil and relocated, modernized and increased the capabilities of our umbilical manufacturing facility in Scotland. The plant in Brazil began operations in fiscal 1999, and the plant in Scotland was commissioned in early fiscal 2000.

2

We own two operating mobile offshore production systems, the PB San Jacinto, acquired in December 1997 and currently under contract offshore Indonesia, and the floating production, storage and offloading system Ocean Producer, which has been operating offshore West Africa since December 1991.

In November 1999, we contracted to provide a mobile offshore production system for development of oil fields offshore Western Australia. We converted a jackup drilling rig to our third mobile offshore production system for this multiple year contract. We put the unit on location in January 2001, and our customer oil companies expect production to begin in mid-calendar 2001.

In November 1995, we contracted with a major oil company for the provision of a floating production, storage and offloading unit. We converted a crude oil tanker and delivered the Zafiro Producer to its first operational location off West Africa in August 1996. In December 1996, the customer exercised an option to purchase the unit. We continue to participate as a member of the customer's integrated team to operate and enhance the unit's production facilities.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. In August 1992 and May 1993, we purchased two businesses that formed the basis of our Advanced Technologies segment. The first business designed, developed and operated robotic systems and ROVs specializing in non-oilfield markets and provided the basis for our expansion into telecommunications cable laying and burial and commercial theme park animation in 1993. The second business designed, developed and fabricated spacecraft hardware and high temperature insulation products.

We intend to continue our strategy of acquiring, as opportunities arise, additional assets or businesses, to improve our market position or expand into related service and product lines, either directly through merger, consolidation or purchase, or indirectly through joint ventures. We are also applying our skills and technology in further developing business unrelated to the oil and gas industry and performing services for government agencies and firms in the telecommunications, aerospace and civil engineering and construction industries.

Financial Information about Segments

For financial information about our business segments, please see the table in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, which presents revenues, income (loss) from operations, depreciation and amortization expenses, identifiable assets and capital expenditures by business segment for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Description of Business

OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS

Our Offshore Oil and Gas business consists of ROVs, Subsea Products, Mobile Offshore Production Systems and Other Services.

ROVS. ROVs are submersible vehicles operated from the surface. They are widely used in the offshore oil and gas industry for a variety of underwater tasks including drill support, installation and construction support, pipeline inspection and surveys and subsea production facility operation and maintenance. ROVs may be outfitted with manipulators, sonar, video cameras, specialized tooling packages and other equipment or features to facilitate the performance of specific underwater tasks. We use ROVs at water depths or in situations where the use of divers would be uneconomical or infeasible. We own 118 work class ROVs and are the industry leader in providing ROV services on deepwater wells, which are the most technically demanding. We believe we operate the largest and most technically advanced fleet of ROVs in the world.

ROV revenues:

                                                                             Percent of

systems; and ROV tooling and work packages. We market these products under the trade names Multiflex and Oceaneering Intervention Engineering.

Subsea umbilicals and production control equipment are the means by which offshore well operators control subsea wellhead hydrocarbon flow, monitor downhole and wellhead conditions and perform chemical injection. Pipeline repair systems make the effective repair of pipelines and risers possible without requiring underwater welding. ROV tooling and work packages provide the operational link between an ROV and permanently installed equipment located on the sea floor.

MOBILE OFFSHORE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. We presently own two operating mobile offshore production systems, the Ocean Producer and the San Jacinto. We own a third mobile offshore production system, the Ocean Legend, which is on location offshore Western Australia for our customer oil companies. We expect production from that unit to begin in mid-calendar 2001. In addition, we operate and maintain the Zafiro Producer on behalf of a major oil company.

We also undertake engineering and project management of projects related to mobile offshore production systems. We have managed the conversion of a jackup to a production unit and in-field modifications to the Zafiro Producer. We also perform engineering studies for customers evaluating field development projects.

OTHER SERVICES. We provide oilfield diving, non-destructive inspection and testing services and supporting vessel operations, which are utilized principally in inspection, repair and maintenance activities. We also perform subsea intervention and hardware installation services from our multiservice vessels. These services include: subsea well tie-backs; pipeline/flowline tie-ins and repairs; pipeline crossings; umbilical and other subsea equipment installations; and subsea intervention.

We supply commercial diving services to the oil and gas industry in the United States using the traditional techniques of air, mixed gas and saturation diving, all of which use surface-supplied breathing gas. We do not use divers in water depths greater than 1,000 feet. We also use atmospheric diving systems, which enclose the operator in a surface pressure diving suit, in water depths up to 2,300 feet. In September 2000, we exchanged our diving-related assets in Asia, Australia and the Middle East for 11 ROVs.

Through our Solus Schall division, we offer a wide range of inspection services to customers required to obtain third-party inspections to satisfy contractual structural specifications, internal safety standards or regulatory requirements. We focus on the inspection of pipelines and onshore fabrication of offshore facilities for the oil and gas industry. Certain of Solus Schall's pipeline inspection activities are performed through the use of specialized x-ray crawlers, which travel inside pipelines, stopping to perform radiographic inspection of welds.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Our Advanced Technologies segment provides underwater intervention, engineering services and related manufacturing to meet a variety of industrial requirements, including ship husbandry, search and recovery, subsea telecommunications cable installation, maintenance and repair, civil works projects and commercial theme park animation. We do this in part by extending the use of existing assets and technology developed in oilfield operations to new applications.

We work for customers having specialized requirements in underwater or other environments outside the oil and gas industry. We provide deep ocean search and recovery services for governmental bodies, including the U.S. Navy. In other services for the Navy, we provide various engineering and underwater services ranging from aircraft salvage and recovery operations to inspection and maintenance of the Navy's fleet of surface ships and submarines. Through a joint venture we formed with a subsidiary of Smit Internationale, N.V., we also maintain and operate deepwater cable lay and maintenance equipment. The current term of the joint venture agreement expires in March 2006. It automatically extends for five-year periods unless one of the participants gives cancellation notice at least one year before the end of the then current term.

We design and operate ROVs that are capable of being worked in water depths to 25,000 feet. Our other specialized equipment includes ROV cable lay and maintenance equipment rated to 5,000 feet and deep tow, side scan sonar systems designed for use in depths to 20,000 feet. In fiscal 2000, we located and recovered the Mercury space capsule Liberty Bell 7 from a water depth of 16,100 feet.

We also design and develop specialized tools and build ROV systems to customer specifications for use in deepwater and hazardous environments.

We entered the commercial theme park animation market in 1993. We have provided mechanical sharks and dinosaurs for use in theme park attractions.

As part of our Advanced Technologies segment, Oceaneering Space and Thermal Systems directs our efforts towards applying undersea technology and experience in the space industry. We have worked with the NASA and NASA subcontractors on a variety of projects, including portable life-support systems, tools and robotic systems and standards and guidelines to ensure robotic compatibility for space station equipment and payloads. We also support NASA by producing space shuttle crew support equipment, including the design, development and fabrication of spacecraft extravehicular and intravehicular hardware and soft goods, air crew life-support equipment, mechanical and electromechanical devices and high temperature insulation. These activities substantially depend on continued government funding for space programs.

MARKETING

OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS. Oil and gas exploration and development expenditures fluctuate from year to year. In particular, budgetary approval for more expensive drilling and production in deepwater, an area in which we have a high degree of focus, may be postponed or suspended during periods when exploration and production companies reduce their offshore capital spending.

We market our ROVs, Subsea Products and Other Services to domestic, international and foreign national oil and gas companies engaged in offshore exploration, development and production. We also provide services as a subcontractor to other oilfield service companies operating as prime contractors. Customers for these services typically award contracts on a competitive bid basis. These contracts are typically less than one year in duration.

We market our Mobile Offshore Production Systems primarily to international and foreign national oil and gas companies. We offer systems for extended well testing, early production and development of marginal fields and prospects in areas lacking pipelines and processing infrastructure. Contracts are typically awarded on a competitive basis, generally for periods of one or more years.

5

In connection with the services we perform in our Offshore Oil and Gas business, we generally seek contracts that compensate us on a dayrate basis. Under dayrate contracts, the contractor provides the ROV or vessel and the required personnel to operate the unit. Compensation under a dayrate contract is based on a rate per day for each day the unit is used. The typical dayrate depends on market conditions, the nature of the operations to be performed, the duration of the work, the equipment and services to be provided, the geographical areas involved and other variables. Dayrate contracts may also contain an alternate, lower dayrate that applies when a unit is in route to a new site or when operations are interrupted or restricted by equipment breakdowns, adverse weather or water conditions or other conditions beyond the contractor's control. Some dayrate contracts provide for revision of the specified dayrates in the event of material changes in certain items of cost being incurred by the contractor.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. We market our marine services and related engineering services to government agencies, major defense contractors, NASA subcontractors and telecommunications, construction and other industrial customers outside the energy sector. We also market to insurance companies, salvage associations and other customers who have requirements for specialized operations in deep water.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS. Our top five customers in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 accounted for 29% of our consolidated revenues. Our top five customers in fiscal 2000 and 1999 accounted for approximately 25% of our consolidated revenues in each year. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for fiscal 2000, four of our top five customers were oil and gas exploration and production companies served by our Offshore Oil and Gas business segments. The remaining top five customer was the U.S. Navy, which was served by our Advanced Technologies segment. In fiscal 1999, our top five customers were all oil and gas exploration and production companies served by our Offshore Oil and Gas business segments. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues in any of those three periods. While we do not depend on any one customer, the loss of one of our significant customers could, at least on a short-term basis, have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

RAW MATERIALS

Most of the raw materials we use in our manufacturing operations, such as steel in various forms, electronic components and plastics, are available from many sources, and we are not dependent on any single supplier or source for any of our raw materials. However, some components we use to manufacture subsea umbilicals are available from limited sources. While we have not experienced any difficulties in obtaining those materials in the past and do not anticipate any such difficulties in the foreseeable future, it is possible that a shortage of supply could develop. Any significant, prolonged shortage of these materials could result in increased costs for these materials and delays in our subsea umbilicals manufacturing operations.

COMPETITION

Our businesses are highly competitive.

OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS.

ROVS. We are the world's largest owner/operator of work class ROVs employed in oil and gas related operations, with an estimated 33% market share. At December 31, 2000 we had 118 work class ROVs in service. We compete with several major companies on a worldwide basis and with numerous others operating locally in various areas. We have fewer competitors in deeper water depths, as more sophisticated equipment and technology is needed in deeper water. We estimate that, during calendar 2000, we provided ROV drilling support on approximately 50% of the wells drilled worldwide in water depths of 1,000 feet or more and approximately 60% of the wells drilled worldwide in water depths of 3,000 feet or more.

Competition for ROV services historically has been based on equipment availability, location of or ability to deploy the equipment, quality of service and price. The relative importance of these factors can vary from year to year based on market conditions. The ability to develop improved equipment and techniques and to attract and retain skilled personnel is also an important competitive factor in our markets.

MOBILE OFFSHORE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS. We believe we are well positioned to compete in this market through our ability to identify and offer optimum solutions, supply equipment and utilize the expertise in associated subsea technology and offshore construction and operations gained through our extensive operational experience worldwide. We are one of many companies that offer leased mobile offshore production systems.

6

SUBSEA PRODUCTS. Although there are many competitors offering either specialized products or operating in limited geographic areas, we believe we are one of a small number of companies that compete on a worldwide basis for the provision of thermoplastic subsea control umbilical cables.

OTHER SERVICES. We believe we are one of several companies that provide underwater services on a worldwide basis. We compete for contracts with companies that have worldwide operations, as well as numerous others operating locally in various areas. We believe that our ability to provide a wide range of underwater services, including technological applications in deeper water (greater than 1,000 feet) on a worldwide basis, should enable us to compete effectively in the oilfield exploration and development market. In some cases involving projects that require less sophisticated equipment, small companies have been able to bid for contracts at prices uneconomic to us. We no longer provide diving services outside of the United States.

The worldwide inspection market consists of a wide range of inspection and certification requirements in many industries. Solus Schall competes in only selected portions of this market. We believe that our broad geographic sales and operational coverage, long history of operations, technical reputation, application of x-ray pipeline inspection technology and accreditation to international quality standards enable us to compete effectively in our selected inspection services market segments.

Frequently, oil and gas companies use prequalification procedures that reduce the number of prospective bidders for their projects. In some countries, political considerations tend to favor local contractors. While these considerations have not materially impacted this segment's results in recent periods, our view of the increasing trend to favor local contractors in West Africa was a factor in our decisions to sell our diving operations in West Africa in fiscal 2000 and to exchange our diving-related assets in Asia, Australia and the Middle East for ROVs in September 2000.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. We believe our specialized ROV assets and experience in deepwater operations give us an advantage in obtaining contracts in water depths greater than 5,000 feet. We have fewer competitors in deeper water depths due to the advanced technical knowledge and sophisticated equipment required for deepwater operations.

Engineering services is a very broad market with a large number of competitors. We compete in specialized areas in which we can combine our extensive program management experience, mechanical engineering expertise and the capability to continue the development of conceptual project designs into the manufacture of prototype equipment.

We also use the administrative and operational support structures of our Offshore Oil and Gas business to identify opportunities in foreign countries and to provide additional local support for services provided to this segment's customers.

SEASONALITY, BACKLOG AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

A material amount of our consolidated revenues is generated from contracts for marine services in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea, which are usually more active from April through November compared to the rest of the year. However, our exit from the diving sector in the North Sea in early 1998 and the substantial number of multi-year ROV contracts we entered into since 1997 have reduced the seasonality of our ROV and Other Services operations. Revenues in our Mobile Offshore Production Systems, Subsea Products and Advanced Technologies segments are generally not seasonal.

The amounts of backlog orders we believe to be firm as of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000 were as follows:

No material portion of our business is subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts by the United States government.

Our research and development expenditures were approximately $5 million, $4 million and $5 million during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. These amounts do not include the expenditures by others in connection with joint research activities in which we participated or expenditures we incurred in connection with research conducted during the course of performing our operations.

REGULATION

Our operations are affected from time to time and in varying degrees by foreign and domestic political developments and foreign, federal and local laws and regulations. In particular, oil and gas production operations and economics are affected by tax, environmental and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, by changes in such laws and by constantly changing administrative regulations. Those developments may directly or indirectly affect our operations and those of our customers.

Compliance with federal, state and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or relating to the protection of the environment has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

While not a legal requirement, within our Offshore Oil and Gas business we maintain various quality management systems. Our quality management systems in the United Kingdom and Norway are certified to the equivalent of ISO 9001 and cover all our Offshore Oil and Gas products and services. The quality management systems of our Subsea Products segment are certified to ISO 9001 for its products and services. The quality management systems of both the Oceaneering Space and Thermal Systems and Oceaneering Technologies units of our Advanced Technologies segment are also certified to ISO 9001. ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized verification system for quality management established by the International Standards Organization.

RISKS AND INSURANCE

WE DERIVE MOST OF OUR REVENUES FROM COMPANIES IN THE OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY, A HISTORICALLY CYCLICAL INDUSTRY WITH LEVELS OF ACTIVITY THAT ARE SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY THE LEVELS AND VOLATILITY OF OIL AND GAS PRICES.

We derive most of our revenues from customers in the offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production industry. The offshore oil and gas industry is a historically cyclical industry characterized by significant changes in the levels of exploration and development activities. Oil and gas prices, and market expectations of potential changes in those prices, significantly affect the levels of those activities. Worldwide political, economic and military events have contributed to oil and gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of offshore oil and gas exploration and development activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and gas prices or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations in our segments within our offshore oil and gas business. Some factors that have affected and are likely to continue affecting oil and gas prices and the level of demand for our services and products include the following:

o worldwide demand for oil and gas;

o the ability of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, to set and maintain production levels and pricing;

o the level of production by non-OPEC countries;

o domestic and foreign tax policy;

o laws and governmental regulations that restrict exploration and development of oil and gas in various offshore jurisdictions;

o advances in exploration and development technology;

o the political environment of oil-producing regions;

o the price and availability of alternative fuels; and

o overall economic conditions.

OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS INVOLVE ADDITIONAL RISKS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH DOMESTIC OPERATIONS.

A significant portion of our revenues is attributable to operations in foreign countries. These activities accounted for approximately 46% of our consolidated revenues in the nine-month ended December 31, 2000. Risks associated with our

8

operations in foreign areas include risks of:

o war and civil disturbances or other risks that may limit or disrupt markets;

o expropriation, confiscation or nationalization of assets;

o renegotiation or nullification of existing contracts;

o foreign exchange restrictions;

o foreign currency fluctuations;

o foreign taxation;

o the inability to repatriate earnings or capital;

o changing political conditions;

o changing foreign and domestic monetary policies; and

o regional economic downturns.

Additionally, in some jurisdictions we are subject to foreign governmental regulations favoring or requiring the awarding of contracts to local contractors or requiring foreign contractors to employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction. These regulations may adversely affect our ability to compete.

Our exposure to the risks we described above varies from country to country. In recent periods, political instability and civil unrest in Indonesia and West Africa and general economic downturns in Asia and Brazil have been our greatest concerns. There is a risk that a continuation or worsening of these conditions could materially and adversely impact our future business, operations, financial condition and results of operations. Of our total consolidated revenues for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, we generated approximately 2% from our operations in Indonesia, 12% from our operations in West Africa, 8% from our operations in Asia excluding Indonesia and 7% from our operations in Brazil.

OUR OFFSHORE OILFIELD OPERATIONS INVOLVE A VARIETY OF OPERATING HAZARDS AND RISKS THAT COULD CAUSE LOSSES.

Our operations are subject to the hazards inherent in the offshore oilfield business. These include blowouts, explosions, fires, collisions, capsizings and severe weather conditions. These hazards could result in personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and suspension of operations. We may incur substantial liabilities or losses as a result of these hazards. While we maintain insurance protection against some of these risks, and seek to obtain indemnity agreements from our customers requiring the customers to hold us harmless from some of these risks, our insurance and contractual indemnity protection may not be sufficient or effective to protect us under all circumstances or against all risks. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against or the failure of a customer to meet its indemnification obligations to us could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

LAWS AND GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS MAY ADD TO OUR COSTS OR ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS.

Our business is affected by changes in public policy and by federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the energy industry. Oil and gas exploration and production operations are affected by tax, environmental and other laws relating to the petroleum industry, by changes in those laws and changes in related administrative regulations. It is also possible that these laws and regulations may in the future add significantly to our operating costs or those of our customers or otherwise directly or indirectly affect our operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS CAN INCREASE OUR COSTS, AND OUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THOSE LAWS AND REGULATIONS CAN EXPOSE US TO SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES.

Risks of substantial costs and liabilities related to environmental compliance issues are inherent in our operations. Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment. Permits are required for the operation of various facilities, and those permits are subject to revocation, modification and renewal. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations are subject to fines, injunctions or both. In some cases, those governmental requirements can impose liability for the entire cost of cleanup on any responsible party without regard to negligence or fault and impose liability on us for the conduct of or conditions others have caused, or for our acts that complied with all applicable requirements when we performed them. It is possible that other developments, such as stricter environmental laws and regulations, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations, would result in substantial costs and liabilities. Our insurance policies and the contractual indemnity protection we seek to obtain from our customers may not be sufficient or effective to protect us under all circumstances or against all risks involving compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

9

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2000, we had approximately 3,000 employees. Our workforce varies seasonally and peaks during the summer months. Approximately 9% of our employees are represented by unions. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

Financial Information about Geographic Areas

For financial information about our geographic areas of operation, please see the table in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, which presents revenues and assets attributable to each of our geographic areas for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

See Item 1 -- "Business -- Description of Business -- Offshore Oil and Gas" and "Business -- Description of Business -- Advanced Technologies" for a description of equipment and manufacturing facilities used in providing our services and products.

We maintain office, shop and yard facilities in various parts of the world to support our operations. We consider these facilities, which we describe below, to be suitable for their intended use. In these locations, we typically lease or own office facilities for our administrative and engineering staff, shops equipped for fabrication, testing, repair and maintenance activities and warehouses and yard areas for storage and mobilization of equipment to work sites. All sites are available to support any of our business segments as the need arises. The groupings which follow associate our significant offices with the primary business segment they serve.

OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS. In general, our ROV and Other Services segments share facilities. The largest location is in Morgan City, Louisiana and consists of ROV manufacturing and training facilities, open and covered storage space and offices. The Morgan City facilities primarily support operations in the United States. The regional support offices for our North Sea and Southeast Asia operations are located in Aberdeen, Scotland and Singapore, respectively. We also have operational bases in various other locations, the most significant of which are in Norway, Australia, Indonesia and Nigeria.

We use workshop and office space in Houston, Texas in both our Mobile Offshore Production Systems and Subsea Products business segments. Our manufacturing facilities for our Subsea Products segment are located in or near Houston, Texas, Edinburgh, Scotland and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Each of these manufacturing facilities is suitable for its intended purpose and has sufficient excess capacity to respond to increases in demand for our subsea products that may be reasonably anticipated in the foreseeable future. Operations of the mobile offshore production unit Ocean Producer are supported through our regional office in Aberdeen. Operations of the San Jacinto and the Ocean Legend are supported from our office in Perth, Australia, which we opened in fiscal 2000.

Our principal manufacturing facilities are located on properties we own or hold under a long-term lease, expiring in 2014. The other facilities we use in our Offshore Oil and Gas business segments are on properties we lease.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES. Our primary facilities for our Advanced Technologies segment are leased offices and workshops in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, which support our services for the U.S. Navy and our commercial theme park animation activities. We also lease facilities in Houston, Texas, which primarily support our space industry activities and our subsea telecommunications installation joint venture.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to actions for damages alleging personal injury under the general maritime laws of the United States, including the Jones Act, for alleged negligence. We report actions for personal injury to our insurance carriers and believe that the settlement or disposition of those suits will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. For additional information, see "Commitments and Contingencies -- Litigation" in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

We are including the following discussion to inform our existing and potential security holders generally of some of the risks and uncertainties that can affect our company and to take advantage of the "safe harbor" protection for forward-looking statements that applicable federal securities law affords.

From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. These statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future backlog, revenues, income and capital spending. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement and refer to this cautionary statement.

In addition, various statements this report contains, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements appear in Item 1 -- "Business," Item 2 -- "Properties" and Item 3 -- "Legal Proceedings" in Part I of this report and in Item 7 -- "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," Item 7A -- "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated into Item 8 of Part II of this report and elsewhere in this report. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, we disclaim any obligation to update these statements, and we caution you not to rely unduly on them. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:

o general economic and business conditions and industry trends;

o the continued strength of the industry segments in which we are involved;

o decisions about offshore developments to be made by oil and gas companies;

o the highly competitive nature of our businesses;

o our future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital;

o the continued availability of qualified personnel;

o operating risks normally incident to offshore exploration, development and production operations;

o changes in, or our ability to comply with, government regulations, including those relating to the environment;

o rapid technological changes; and

o social, political and economic situations in foreign countries where we do business.

We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. We have discussed most of these factors in more detail elsewhere in this report. These factors are not necessarily all the important factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unknown factors we have not discussed in this report could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update our description of important factors each time a potential important factor arises. We advise our security holders that they should (1) be aware that important factors we do not refer to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

All statements in this Form 10-K, other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding our business strategy, plans for future operations and industry conditions, are forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those we refer to under the heading "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" in Part I of this report. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, because of the inherent limitations in the forecasting process, as well as the relatively volatile nature of the industries in which we operate, we can give no assurance that those expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, evaluation of our future prospects must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We consider our liquidity and capital resources adequate to support our operations and internally generated growth initiatives. At December 31, 2000, we had working capital of $50 million. Additionally, we had $50 million available under committed credit facilities.

We expect operating cash flow to meet our ongoing annual cash requirements, including debt service. Net cash provided by operating activities was $41 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, $38 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999, $53 million for fiscal 2000 and $59 million for fiscal 1999.

Working capital was $50 million at December 31, 2000 compared to $53 million at the end of fiscal 2000 and $41 million at the end of fiscal 1999.

Capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $102 million, $81 million and $102 million, respectively. Capital expenditures during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 consisted of expenditures for the conversion of a jackup drilling rig to a mobile offshore production unit, the Ocean Legend, for initial use offshore Western Australia under a three-year contract, ROV additions and construction costs to complete our second multiservice vessel. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2000 consisted of construction costs for the second multiservice vessel, additions to our ROV fleet and the start of the conversion of the Ocean Legend. Capital expenditures in fiscal 1999 consisted of additions to our ROV fleet, construction costs for two multiservice vessels, one of which was placed in service prior to March 31, 1999, a new umbilical plant in Brazil and the relocation and upgrading of our umbilical plant in Scotland.

Commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 2000 were approximately $5 million for completion of the conversion of the Ocean Legend.

In April 1997, we approved a plan to purchase up to a maximum of 3 million shares of our common stock, and 2.9 million shares were purchased under this plan through December 31, 2000, at a total cost of $40 million. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000.

At December 31, 2000, we had long-term debt of $180 million and a 47% debt-to-total capitalization ratio. In September 1998, we issued $100 million of 6.72% Senior Notes to be repaid from 2006 through 2010. We used the proceeds from the sale of those notes to repay the then outstanding indebtedness under our prior revolving credit facility, which had been incurred in the funding of capital expenditures and repurchases of common stock. In October 1998, we replaced that revolving credit agreement with a new five-year, $80 million revolving credit facility, under which we had $65 million in outstanding borrowings and $15 million available for future borrowings at December 31, 2000. In March 2000, we added a $50 million term loan facility, which is available for drawing until March 30, 2001 and is to be repaid through April 2004. At December 31, 2000, we had $15 million in outstanding borrowings and $35 million available for future borrowings under the term loan facility.

Because of our significant foreign operations, we are exposed to currency fluctuations and exchange risks. We generally minimize these risks primarily through matching, to the extent possible, revenues and expenses in the various currencies in which we operate. Cumulative translation adjustments as of December 31, 2000 relate primarily to our permanent investments in and loans to our foreign subsidiaries. Inflation has not had a material effect on us in the past two years and no such effect is expected in the near future.

In response to (1) continued increasing demand to support deepwater drilling and (2) identified future construction and production maintenance work, we extended our ROV fleet expansion program in 1997 by announcing plans for additional new ROVs. These new vehicles are designed for use around the world in water depths to 10,000 feet and in severe weather conditions. We have added over 50 ROVs to our fleet during the last several years and we plan to add additional vehicles at a rate dependent on market demand.

In the past few years, we have sold or exchanged our foreign diving-related assets to concentrate on our other deepwater services and products which have potential for higher margins:

- In April 1997, we sold our North Sea diving assets, including a diving support vessel;

- In fiscal 2000, we sold our West Africa diving and related vessel assets;

- In September 2000, we exchanged our Asia, Australia and Middle East diving assets, including a diving support vessel, for 11 ROVs.

In the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, ROV revenues were 9% higher than the comparable nine-month period of the prior year. Gross margin percentage rose 2%. These increases were the result of more ROVs available for service and an increase in ROV utilization from 63% to 67%. In fiscal 2000, ROV revenues declined 6% from fiscal 1999 despite our additions to the ROV fleet. Utilization declined from 82% to 62%. Both of our major oilfield ROV markets, drill support and construction support, were adversely affected as oil and gas companies had lower capital spending levels than those in the prior year. We anticipate ROV utilization and margins to increase in 2001 from increased demand as more floating deepwater drilling rigs return to service and from a rise in offshore construction-related activities.

Subsea Products revenues were 52% higher for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 than those of the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to (1) increased demand in Brazil and the U.S., as oil and gas companies proceeded with offshore capital projects which had been delayed, and (2) a large steel tube umbilical order in the U.K. While total gross margin was $2.0 million higher, margin percentages were relatively flat, as increased profitability in Brazil and the U.S. was offset by the large steel tube umbilical order in our U.K. plant, which earned a low margin. Subsea Products revenues were down 4% in fiscal 2000 from fiscal 1999, despite the addition of an umbilical plant in Brazil and the opening of our upgraded facility in Scotland. Umbilical sales and margins were adversely affected by low market demand, as oil and gas companies had lower capital spending levels than those in the prior years, particularly in Brazil. We anticipate improved Subsea Product results in 2001 from increased subsea completion activity.

Mobile Offshore Production Systems revenues were down 13% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 from the comparable period of the prior year, as production-based revenues from the Ocean Producer were lower due to declining production levels and we had lower project management and engineering service revenues from lower demand. As of April 2001, the Ocean Producer unit is on a day-to-day contract. We have a letter of intent to contract the unit for a period of seven years to produce from another property in the area. Gross margin percentage was higher due to $4.3 million of gains on the sales of two out-of-service semisubmersible rigs. In addition, we wrote down the carrying value of our out-of-service tanker, the OCEAN VENTURE, by $2.5 million as our assessment of the market it was targeted for, conversion into production service, had changed. This tanker is not of the size prevalently in demand in the current market and there have been few opportunities to bid the vessel. Therefore, we wrote this vessel down to its estimated market value. Mobile Offshore Production Systems fiscal 2000 revenues were 24% lower than fiscal 1999, as we completed a major modification project for the Zafiro Producer during the year. In addition, production-based revenues from the Ocean Producer were lower due to declining production levels. We anticipate improved Mobile Offshore Production Systems results in 2001 with the commencement of Ocean Legend operations.

Other Services revenues were 16% lower in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 than the comparable period of the prior year. The lower revenues reflect our dispositions of (1) our West Africa diving operations in fiscal 2000 and (2) our Asia, Australia and Middle East diving operations in September 2000, along with more competitive conditions resulting from lower capital expenditures by our oilfield customers. Gross margins were lower due to lower vessel utilization and related services in the Gulf of Mexico. Other Services revenues were up 10% in fiscal 2000 from fiscal 1999, primarily due to a full year of operations from the multiservice vessel Ocean Intervention. However, margins reflected very competitive market conditions resulting from reduced oilfield capital spending. The net operating loss was attributed to two large fixed-price jobs in India. We anticipate improved Other Services results in 2001 from higher demand for our oilfield services in general, including our multiservice vessels.

  Operating Income %            6%            9%           10%            9%

Advanced Technologies revenues were 13% lower in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 than the comparable period of the prior year as the prior period included a large outfall job in Southeast Asia, which was performed using resources associated with our Other Services segment. These resources were part of those we exchanged in September 2000 for ROVs. Margins were lower as the December 2000 period included provisions totaling $1.8 million relating to operations of a division we no longer own. Advanced Technologies revenues in fiscal 2000 were 24% higher than in fiscal 1999 due to increased work levels for the Navy, the outfall job in Southeast Asia and more search and recovery work. Margin percentages were relatively unchanged. We anticipate similar results from Advanced Technologies in the next year, contingent upon the level of government funding for NASA and U.S. Navy programs in which we currently participate or are pursuing.

OTHER. Interest expense increased over the three year period as a result of our increased borrowings to fund capital expenditures and repurchases of common stock. Interest expense is net of capitalized interest of $3.0 million for the nine- month period ended December 31, 2000, $1.8 million for fiscal 2000 and $2.5 million for fiscal 1999.

Our effective tax rate, determined after consideration of valuation allowances and foreign, state and local taxes, was 36%, 36% and 38% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are currently exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions we have entered into in the normal course of business. These risks relate to interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. We do not believe these risks are material. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. We manage our exposure to interest rate changes through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a description of our long-term debt agreements, interest rates and maturities. We believe that significant interest rate changes will not have a material near-term impact on our future earnings or cash flows. We manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates primarily through arranging compensation in U.S. dollars or freely convertible currency and, to the extent possible, by limiting compensation received in other currencies to amounts necessary to meet obligations denominated in those currencies. We believe that a significant fluctuation in the foreign exchange rates would not have a material near-term effect on our future earnings or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Oceaneering International, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oceaneering International, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders' equity and comprehensive income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2000. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oceaneering International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF MAJOR ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oceaneering International, Inc. and its 50% or more owned and controlled subsidiaries ("Oceaneering"). Oceaneering accounts for its investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies under the equity method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Effective November 1, 2000, Oceaneering's Board of Directors approved the change of its year end to December 31 from March 31. This report covers the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2000. The accompanying financial statements for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1999 are unaudited. Management has reflected all adjustments which it believes are necessary to present fairly Oceaneering's results of operations and cash flows for that nine-month period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of the investment.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

                                            December 31,  March 31,
 (in thousands)                                 2000         2000
------------------------------------------------------------------
Spare parts for remotely operated vehicles     $10,568     $ 7,950
Inventories, primarily raw materials             8,848       5,593
Other                                            7,603       5,447
                                               -------     -------
         Total                                 $27,019     $18,990
                                               =======     =======

Inventory is priced at lower of cost or market. Oceaneering determines cost using the weighted-average method.

Property and Equipment and Goodwill

Oceaneering provides for depreciation of property and equipment primarily on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to 20 years for marine services equipment, up to 12 years for mobile offshore production equipment and three to 25 years for buildings, improvements and other equipment. Goodwill arising from business acquisitions is amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years.

The costs of repair and maintenance of property and equipment are charged to operations as incurred, while the costs of improvements are capitalized. Oceaneering accrues in advance for anticipated drydocking expenses of its larger vessels. Accrued drydock costs, which are included in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet, were $3.2 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively. Interest is capitalized on assets where the construction period is anticipated to be more than three months. Oceaneering does not allocate general administrative costs to capital projects. Upon the disposition of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved and the resulting gain or loss is included as an adjustment to cost of services and products.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, Oceaneering exchanged its diving-related assets, including a vessel, in Asia, Australia and the Middle East for 11 remotely operated vehicles. The assets acquired were recorded at their fair market value and the transaction did not result in a material gain or loss to Oceaneering.

26

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Management periodically, and upon the occurrence of a triggering event, reviews the realizability of goodwill and other long-term assets and makes any appropriate impairment adjustments and disclosures required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board Standard Number ("SFAS") 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, Oceaneering recorded a $2.5 million impairment adjustment in the form of additional depreciation included in cost of services and products within the Mobile Offshore Production Systems business segment. This adjustment decreased the carrying value of an out-of-service tanker to its estimated market value. No other impairment adjustments were made during the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Oceaneering's revenues are primarily derived from billings under contracts that provide for specific time, material and equipment charges, which are accrued daily and billed monthly. Significant lump-sum contracts, particularly in the Subsea Products segment, are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, we measure the extent of progress toward completion based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion. Unbilled revenues related to recoverable costs and accrued profits on contracts in process are included in accounts receivable on Oceaneering's balance sheets. These amounts were $40 million and $43 million at December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, respectively. Revenues on contracts with a substantial element of research and development are recognized to the extent of cost until such time as the probable final profitability can be determined. Anticipated losses on contracts, if any, are recorded in the period that such losses are first determinable. Oceaneering's revenue recognition accounting policies comply with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."

Income Taxes

Oceaneering accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency for several of Oceaneering's foreign subsidiaries is the applicable local currency. Results of operations for foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and the resulting translation adjustments are accumulated as a component of shareholders' equity. All foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized currently in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Earnings Per Share

Oceaneering has computed earnings per share in accordance with SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share."

Other Long-term Liabilities

At December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, other long-term liabilities include $9.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, for self-insurance reserves not expected to be paid out in the following year and $19.1 million for deferred income taxes at each period end.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from prior years, particularly segment information, have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

27

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

New Accounting Standard

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board amended SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," by issuing SFAS 137 to defer the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Oceaneering believes the adoption of this statement will not have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

2. INCOME TAXES

Oceaneering and its domestic subsidiaries, including acquired companies from their respective dates of acquisition, file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Oceaneering conducts its international operations in a number of locations which have varying codes and regulations with regard to income and other taxes, some of which are subject to interpretation. On a geographic basis, income before minority interests and income taxes attributable to the United States was $6.7 million, $10.5 million and $18.4 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Income taxes are provided at the appropriate tax rates in accordance with Oceaneering's interpretation of the respective tax regulations after review and consultation with its internal tax department, tax consultants and, in some cases, legal counsel in the various jurisdictions. Management believes that adequate provisions have been made for all taxes which will ultimately be payable.

Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial and tax reporting purposes. Oceaneering's policy is to provide for deferred U.S. income taxes on unrepatriated foreign income only to the extent such income is not to be invested indefinitely in the related foreign entity.

The provisions for income taxes were as follows:

                                                                                                Fiscal Year

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, Oceaneering also received a cash tax refund of $4,353,000.

As of December 31, 2000, Oceaneering's United Kingdom subsidiary had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of approximately $11 million, which are available to reduce future United Kingdom Corporation Tax which would otherwise be payable.

As of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000, Oceaneering's worldwide deferred tax assets and liabilities and related valuation reserves were as follows:

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Oceaneering's gross deferred tax assets consist primarily of NOLs in its United Kingdom subsidiary, which have no expiration date, and insurance claim reserves for which a tax deduction has not yet been allowed. Deferred tax liabilities consist primarily of depreciation and amortization book/tax differences and provisions for income of foreign subsidiaries expected to be repatriated.

Oceaneering has established a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets after taking into account factors that are likely to affect Oceaneering's ability to utilize the tax assets. In particular, Oceaneering conducts its business through several foreign subsidiaries and, although Oceaneering expects its consolidated operations to be profitable, there is no assurance that profits will be earned in entities or jurisdictions which have NOLs available. Since April 1, 1998, changes in the valuation allowance primarily relate to the expected utilization of foreign NOLs and realization of foreign tax credits. Income taxes, computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes and minority interests, are reconciled to the actual provisions for income taxes as follows:

In September 1998, Oceaneering issued $100 million aggregate principal amount of 6.72% Senior Notes due 2010. The net proceeds were $98.6 million after issuance costs and were used to retire existing debt. The notes have an average life of ten years and are scheduled to be paid in five equal annual installments beginning September 2006.

In October 1998, Oceaneering entered into an $80 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") to replace its prior revolving credit agreement. There is a commitment fee ranging from .20% to .25% per annum, depending on Oceaneering's debt-to-capitalization ratio, on the unused portion of the banks' commitments. Principal maturity is in October 2003. Under the Credit Agreement, Oceaneering has the option to borrow dollars at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin ranging from .50% to 1.00%, depending on Oceaneering's debt-to-capitalization ratio, or at the agent bank's prime rate.

In March 2000, Oceaneering entered into a four-year, $50 million term loan agreement (the "Term Loan"). Borrowings under the Term Loan can be made until March 2001 and principal repayments commence in October 2001 with final maturity in April 2004. There are no commitment fees on the Term Loan. Under the Term Loan, Oceaneering has the

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

option to borrow dollars at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from .75% to 1.25%, depending on Oceaneering's debt-to- capitalization ratio, or at the agent bank's prime rate.

All of these credit arrangements contain similar restrictive covenants as to minimum net worth, debt-to-capitalization ratio, fixed charge coverage, interest coverage and restricted payments. Restricted payments, which include dividends and treasury stock purchases, are limited from April 1, 1998, on a net basis, to the sum of $25 million plus 50% of Oceaneering's consolidated net income after April 1, 1998, plus cash proceeds from any sales of common stock.

Oceaneering has uncommitted credit agreements with banks totaling $29 million for use for borrowings and letters of credit. As of December 31, 2000, Oceaneering had approximately $17 million in letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

Cash interest payments of $6.7 million, $7.7 million and $5.7 million were made in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Interest charges of $3.0 million, $1.8 million and $2.5 million were capitalized as part of construction in progress in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

Retirement Investment Plans

Oceaneering has three separate employee retirement investment plans which, taken together, cover most of its full-time employees. The Oceaneering Retirement Investment Plan is a deferred compensation plan in which domestic employees may participate by deferring a portion of their gross monthly salary and directing Oceaneering to contribute the deferred amount to the plan. Oceaneering matches a portion of the deferred compensation. Oceaneering's contributions to the plan were $3,220,000, $2,867,000 and $2,508,000 for the plan years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The second plan is the Oceaneering International Services Pension Scheme for employees in the United Kingdom. Under this plan, employees may contribute a portion of their gross monthly salary. Oceaneering also contributes an amount equal to a portion of the participant's gross monthly salary. The plan assets exceed vested benefits and are not material to the assets of Oceaneering. Company contributions to this plan for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were $41,000, $32,000 and $34,000, respectively.

The third plan is the Oceaneering International, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which covers selected key management employees and executives of Oceaneering as approved by the Compensation Committee of Oceaneering's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"). This plan replaced a prior Executive Retirement Plan effective June 30, 1997 and covers more employees. Expense related to the prior plan during the year ended March 31, 1998 was $576,000. Under the new plan, Oceaneering accrues an amount determined as a percentage of the participant's gross monthly salary and the amounts accrued are treated as if they are invested in one or more investment vehicles pursuant to this plan. Expense related to this plan during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was $921,000, $972,000 and $980,000, respectively.

Incentive and Stock Option Plans

Under the 1996, 1999 and 2000 Incentive Plans (the "Incentive Plans"), a total of 1,165,000, 1,450,000 and 900,000 shares of common stock of Oceaneering, respectively, were made available for awards to employees and other persons (excluding nonemployee directors except with respect to automatic grants as described below and, with respect to the 2000 Incentive Plan, excluding executive officers) having an important business relationship or affiliation with Oceaneering. Under the 1999 Incentive Plan, each director of Oceaneering is automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock on the date the director becomes a nonemployee director and each year thereafter at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the option was granted. These options become fully exercisable six months following the date of grant. The Incentive Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee, which determines the type or types of award(s) to be made to each participant and sets forth in the related award agreement the terms, conditions and limitations applicable to each award. The Compensation Committee may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock and cash awards. The exercise price for each option is not less than the fair market value of the optioned shares at the date of grant. Options outstanding vest over a three- or four-year period and are exercisable over a period of four, five or ten years after the date of grant or five years after the date of vesting.

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

During fiscal 1999 and 2000 and the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, the Compensation Committee granted restricted common stock of Oceaneering to certain of its key executives. These grants are subject to earning requirements on the basis of a percentage change between the price of the common stock of Oceaneering versus the average of the common stock price of a peer group of companies over one-, three- and two-year time periods, respectively. Up to one-half of the grant made in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and up to one-third of the total grant made in fiscal 2000 may be earned each year depending on Oceaneering's cumulative common stock performance, with any amount earned subject to vesting in four equal installments over a four-year period, conditional upon continued employment. All of the total grant made in fiscal 1999 was earned at the end of one year, subject to vesting. At the time of each vesting, a participant receives a tax assistance payment for which the participant must reimburse Oceaneering if the vested common stock is sold by the participant within three years after the vesting date. As of December 31, 2000, none of the grant made in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 has been earned and one-third of the grant made in fiscal 2000 has been earned. As of December 31, 2000, a total of 705,250 shares of restricted stock was outstanding under these and former, similar grants, of which 325,250 shares were earned, subject to vesting requirements. The numbers and weighted average grant date fair values of restricted stock granted were 16,000 and $19.87, respectively, during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000, 549,000 and $17.06, respectively, during fiscal 2000 and 9,000 and $16.83, respectively, during fiscal 1999. In June 1998 and June 1999, certain key executives also elected to receive restricted common stock of Oceaneering totaling 35,920 and 42,812 shares with grant date fair values of $17.94 and $16.56 per share, respectively, subject to similar vesting requirements and tax assistance payments, in lieu of cash for all or part of their fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1999 bonus awards. Each grantee of shares of restricted stock mentioned in this paragraph is deemed to be the record owner of those shares during the restriction period, with the right to vote and receive any dividends on those shares.

Oceaneering accounts for stock options it issues under its plans pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," under which no compensation cost is recognized unless options are granted at an option price below the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. Had compensation cost for these stock options been determined consistent with SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," Oceaneering's pro forma net income for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999 would have been $9,137,000, $15,442,000 and $24,735,000, respectively, and its diluted earnings per share for those periods would have been $0.39, $0.67 and $1.08, respectively.

At December 31, 2000, there were 760,820 shares of Oceaneering common stock under these plans available for grant, awarding stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock and cash awards to employees, subject to no more than 517,220 shares being used for awards other than stock options or stock appreciation rights to employees.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On November 20, 1992, Oceaneering's Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan and, in accordance with the plan, declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each outstanding share of Oceaneering common stock. The plan will cause substantial dilution to a party that attempts to acquire Oceaneering in a manner or on terms not approved by the Board of Directors, except pursuant to an offer conditioned on a substantial number of rights being acquired.

The rights, which do not have voting rights and are not entitled to dividends until such time as they become exercisable, expire in December 2002.

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

Rental expense, which includes hire of vessels, specialized equipment and real estate rental, was approximately $13 million, $22 million and $18 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Insurance

Oceaneering self-insures for workers' compensation, maritime employer's liability and comprehensive general liability claims to levels it considers financially prudent and carries insurance after it reaches the initial claim levels, which can be by occurrence or in the aggregate. Oceaneering determines the level of accruals by reviewing its historical experience and current year claim activity. It does not record accruals on a present-value basis. Oceaneering reviews each claim with insurance adjusters and establishes specific reserves for all known liabilities. It establishes an additional reserve for incidents incurred but not reported to Oceaneering for each year using management estimates and based on prior experience. Oceaneering's management believes that Oceaneering has established adequate accruals for uninsured expected liabilities arising from those obligations.

Litigation

Various actions and claims are pending against Oceaneering, most of which are covered by insurance. In the opinion of Oceaneering's management, the ultimate liability, if any, which may result from these actions and claims will not materially affect Oceaneering's financial position or results of operations.

Letters of Credit

Oceaneering had $17 million in letters of credit outstanding as of both December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2000 as guarantees in force for self-insurance requirements and various performance and bid bonds which are usually for a period of one year or the duration of the applicable contract.

Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration

Financial instruments which potentially subject Oceaneering to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, long-term bank and other borrowings and accounts receivable. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents and bank borrowings approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of those instruments or the short- term duration of the associated interest rate periods. Accounts receivable are generated from a broad and diverse group of customers primarily from within the energy industry, which is Oceaneering's major source of revenues. Oceaneering maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on expected collectibility.

Oceaneering estimated the fair value of its $100 million of 6.72% Senior Notes (see Note 3) to be $94 million as of December 31, 2000. This estimate was arrived at by computing the present value of the future principal and interest payments using a yield-to-maturity interest rate for securities of similar quality and term.

Income (loss) from operations for each business segment is determined before interest income or expense, other income (expense), minority interests and provision for income taxes. An allocation of these items is not considered practical. All assets specifically identified with a particular business segment have been segregated. Cash and cash equivalents, certain prepaid expenses and other current assets, certain investments and other assets have not been allocated to particular business segments.

No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of Oceaneering's consolidated revenues in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000 or the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

EXHIBIT A

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS

of

SERIES B JUNIOR PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK

of

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

We, John R. Huff, President and Chief Executive Officer, and George R. Haubenreich, Jr., Secretary, of Oceaneering International, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 thereof, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

That pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the said Corporation, the said Board of Directors on November 20, 1992, adopted the following resolution creating a series of 900,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock":

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors of this Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, a series of Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Corporation be and hereby is created, and that the designation and number of shares thereof and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the shares of such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as follows:

1. Designation and Amount. There shall be a series of Preferred Stock that shall be designated as "Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock," and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 900,000. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock to less than the number of shares then issued and outstanding plus the number of shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the Corporation.

A-1

2. Dividends and Distributions.

(A) Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash on the 15th day of October, January, April and July in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, the Adjustment Number (as defined below) times the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends, and the Adjustment Number times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, par value $.25 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or fraction of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock. The "Adjustment Number" shall initially be 100. In the event the Corporation shall at any time after November 20, 1992 (the "Rights Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

(B) The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph (A) above immediately after it declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided that, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend Payment Date and the next subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.

(C) Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, in either of which

A-2

events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

3. Voting Rights. The holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

(A) Each share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Adjustment Number on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

(B) Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

(C)(i) If at any time dividends on any Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall mark the beginning of a period (herein called a "default period") that shall extend until such time when all accrued and unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the current quarterly dividend period on all shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. During each default period, all holders of Preferred Stock (including holders of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock) upon which these or like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (the "Voting Preferred Stock") with dividends in arrears in an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series, shall have the right to elect two Directors.

(ii) During any default period, such voting right of the holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be exercised initially at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this
Section 3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual meetings of stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the right of the holders of any other series of Voting Preferred Stock, if any, to increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of Directors shall be exercised unless the holders of ten percent in number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy. The absence of a quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock of such voting right. At any meeting at which the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting right initially during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect Directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of Directors as may then exist up to two Directors or, if such right is exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two Directors. If the number that may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the required number, the holders of the Voting Preferred Stock shall have the right to make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to permit the election by them of the required number. After the holders of the Voting

A-3

Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors in any default period and during the continuance of such period, the number of Directors shall not be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

(iii) Unless the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall, during an existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent of the total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of series, may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, a Vice President or the Secretary of the Corporation. Notice of such meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Voting Preferred Stock are entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph (C)(iii) shall be given to each holder of record of Voting Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the Corporation. Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20 days and not later than 60 days after such order or request or, in default of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or request, such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent of the total number of shares of Voting Preferred Stock outstanding. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (C)(iii), no such special meeting shall be called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders.

(iv) In any default period, the holders of Common Stock, and other classes of stock of the Corporation if applicable, shall continue to be entitled to elect the whole number of Directors until the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two Directors voting as a class, after the exercise of which right (x) the Directors so elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock shall continue in office until their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of Directors may (except as provided in paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3) be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore elected by the holders of the class of stock which elected the Director whose office shall have become vacant. References in this paragraph (C) to Directors elected by the holders of a particular class of stock shall include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence.

(v) Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the right of the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class to elect Directors shall cease, (y) the term of any Directors elected by the holders of Voting Preferred Stock as a class shall terminate and (z) the number of Directors shall be such number as may be provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3 (such number being subject, however, to change thereafter in any manner provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws). Any vacancies in the Board of Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors.

A-4

(D) Except as set forth herein, holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action.

4. Certain Restrictions.

(A) Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not

(i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock;

(ii) declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

(iii) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (both as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock; or

(iv) redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among the respective series or classes.

(B) The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner.

A-5

5. Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

6. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. (A) Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of such payment (the "Series B Liquidation Preference"). Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference, no additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series B Liquidation Preference by (ii) the Adjustment Number. Following the payment of the full amount of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment Number to 1 with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

(B) In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series B Liquidation Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, that rank on a parity with the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

7. Consolidation, Merger, etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination, or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to the Adjustment Number times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock is changed or exchanged.

8. Redemption. (A) The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock in whole at any time and in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the Adjustment Number times the current per share market price (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Common Stock on the date of the mailing of the notice of redemption, together with unpaid accumulated dividends to the date of such redemption. The

A-6

"current per share market price" on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the closing price per share of such Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days (as such term is hereinafter defined) immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that in the event that the current per share market price of the Common Stock is determined during a period following the announcement of (A) a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock other than a regular quarterly cash dividend or (B) any subdivision, combination or reclassification of such Common Stock and the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, shall not have occurred prior to the commencement of such ten Trading Day period, then, and in each such case, the current per share market price shall be properly adjusted to take into account ex-dividend trading. The closing price for each day shall be the last sales price, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in the principal transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted sales price or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or such other self-regulatory organization or registered securities information processor (as such terms are used under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that then reports information concerning the Common Stock or, if on any such date the Common Stock is not quoted by any such entity, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in the Common Stock selected by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. If on any such date no such market maker is making a market in the Common Stock, the fair value of the Common Stock on such date as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be used. The term "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading is open for the transaction of business or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday on which banking institutions in the State of New York are not authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.

(B) In the event that fewer than all the outstanding shares of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the number of shares to be redeemed shall be determined by the Board of Directors and the shares to be redeemed shall be determined by lot or pro rata as may be determined by the Board of Directors or by any other method that may be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion to be equitable.

(C) Notice of any such redemption shall be given by mailing to the holders of the shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock to be redeemed a notice of such redemption, first class postage prepaid, not later than the fifteenth day and not earlier than the sixtieth day before the date fixed for redemption, at their last address as the same shall appear upon the books of the Corporation. Each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date;
(ii) the number of shares to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where

A-7

certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the close of business on such redemption date. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the stockholder received such notice, and failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice, to any holder of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock that are to be redeemed. On or after the date fixed for redemption as stated in such notice, each holder of the shares called for redemption shall surrender the certificate evidencing such shares to the Corporation at the place designated in such notice and shall thereupon be entitled to receive payment of the redemption price. If fewer than all the shares represented by any such surrendered certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

(D) The shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall not be subject to the operation of any purchase, retirement or sinking fund.

9. Ranking. The Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of any such series shall provide otherwise.

10. Amendment. At any time that any shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

11. Fractional Shares. Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share that shall entitle the holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Series B Junior Participating Preferred Stock.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

BYLAWS

OF

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The Board of Directors of Oceaneering International, Inc. (the "Corporation") by resolution has duly adopted these Amended and Restated Bylaws (these "Bylaws") to govern the Corporation's internal affairs.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. The Corporation will hold an annual meeting of the holders of its capital stock (each, a "Stockholder") for the election of directors of the Corporation (each, a "Director") at such date, time and place as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") by resolution may designate from time to time. The Corporation may transact any other business at an annual meeting which has properly come before that meeting in accordance with Section 1.11.

Section 1.2 Special Meetings. Any of the following may call special meetings of Stockholders for any purpose or purposes at any time and designate the date, time and place of any such meeting: (i) the Board pursuant to a resolution that a majority of the total number of Directors the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies (the "Whole Board") has duly adopted; (ii) any committee of the Board (each, a "Board Committee") the Board has duly designated and empowered to call special meetings;(iii) the chairman of the Board (the "Chairman"); and (iv) the CEO (as hereinafter defined). Except as the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation (as amended from time to time and including each certificate of designation, if any, respecting any class or series of preferred stock of the Corporation which has been executed, acknowledged and filed in accordance with applicable law, the "Certificate of Incorporation") or applicable law otherwise provides, no other Person or Persons may call a special meeting of Stockholders.

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. By or at the direction of the Chairman or the secretary of the Corporation (the "Secretary") whenever Stockholders are to take any action at a meeting, the Corporation will give a written notice of that meeting to the Stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting which states the place, date and hour of that meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which that meeting is called. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides, the Corporation will give the written notice of any meeting of Stockholders not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of that meeting. If mailed to any Stockholder, any such notice will be deemed given (whether or not delivered) when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to that Stockholder at his address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation.

-1-

Section 1.4 Adjournments. Any meeting of Stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business it might have transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, the Corporation will give, in accordance with Section 1.3, notice of the adjourned meeting to each Stockholder of record and entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.5 Quorum. Except as the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides: (i) at each meeting of Stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting could cast will be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum; and (ii) the holders of stock so present and entitled to vote at any duly convened meeting at which the necessary quorum has been ascertained may continue to transact business until that meeting adjourns notwithstanding any withdrawal from that meeting of shares of stock counted in determining the existence of that quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting or the Stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner Section 1.4 provides until a quorum attends. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity (each, an "Entity"), if the Corporation, directly or indirectly, holds a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors (or the equivalent) of that other Entity, will be neither entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing will not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, it holds in a fiduciary capacity.

Section 1.6 Organization. The Chairman will chair and preside over any meeting of Stockholders at which he is present. The Board will designate the chairman and presiding officer over any meeting of Stockholders from which the Chairman is absent. The Secretary will act as secretary of meetings of Stockholders, but in his absence from any such meeting the chairman of that meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of that meeting. The chairman of any meeting of Stockholders will announce at that meeting the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter on which the Stockholders will vote at that meeting.

Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies. (a) Except as the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, each Stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders will be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock of the Corporation he holds which has voting power on the matter in question. Each Stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no proxy will be voted or acted on after three years from its date, unless that proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy will be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Stockholder may revoke any proxy he has given for a meeting which is not irrevocable by attending that meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary. Proxies for use at any meeting of Stockholders must be filed, before or at the time of

-2-

that meeting, with the Secretary or such other person as the Board by resolution may designate from time to time.

(b) The secretary of any meeting of Stockholders will take charge of and canvass all ballots delivered at that meeting and will decide all questions relating to the qualification of voters, the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes at that meeting, unless the chairman has appointed an inspector or inspectors to decide those questions. Voting at meetings of Stockholders: (i) need not be by written ballot unless the Board, in its discretion, by resolution so requires or, in the case of any such meeting, the chairman of that meeting, in his discretion, so requires; and (ii) unless applicable law otherwise requires, need not be conducted by inspectors of election unless so determined by the holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes the holders of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by proxy at that meeting could cast.

(c) At all meetings of Stockholders at which a quorum is present for the election of Directors, a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote in the election of Directors will be sufficient to elect, except as the Certificate of Incorporation may otherwise provide. In the case of any question to which the stockholder approval policy of any national securities exchange or quotation system on which capital stock of the Corporation is traded or quoted on the Corporation's application, the requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the rules and regulations thereunder (the "Code") applies, in each case for which question the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL"), does not specify a higher voting requirement, that question will be decided by the requisite vote that stockholder approval policy, Exchange Act requirement or Code provision, as the case may be, specifies (or the highest requisite vote if more than one applies). A majority of the votes cast on the question whether to approve the appointment of independent public accountants (if that question is submitted for a vote of Stockholders) will be sufficient to approve. All other elections and questions which have properly come before any meeting will, unless the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable law otherwise provides, be decided by the vote of the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at that meeting and having a majority of the votes entitled to vote thereon.

Section 1.8 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board by resolution may fix a record date, which record date: (i) must not precede the date on which the Board adopts that resolution; (ii) in the case of a determination of Stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or adjournment thereof, will, unless applicable law otherwise requires, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of that meeting; (iii) in the case of a determination of Stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, will not be more than 10 days from the date on which the Board adopts the resolution fixing the record date; and (iv) in the case

-3-

of any other action, will not be more than 60 days prior to that other action. If the Board does not fix a record date: (i) the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders will be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting will be (A) if applicable law does not require a prior action by the Board, the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law; and (B) if applicable law requires prior action by the Board, at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution taking that prior action; and (iii) the record date for determining Stockholders for any other purpose will be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of Stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of Stockholders will apply to any adjournment of that meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled To Vote. The Secretary will prepare and make, at least 10 days before each meeting of Stockholders, a list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at that meeting which complies with the requirements of Section 219 of the DGCL as in effect at that time. Such list shall be open to examination by any Stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting.

Section 1.10 Election of Directors. (a) Subject to such rights of the holders of any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock as the Certificate of Incorporation may prescribe, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures this Section 1.10 sets forth will be eligible for election by Stockholders as Directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at any meeting of Stockholders at which Directors are to be elected: (i) by or at the direction of the Board or any Board Committee the Board has duly designated and empowered to nominate persons for election as Directors; or (ii) by any Stockholder who (A) is a Stockholder of record at the time that Stockholder gives the notice this Section 1.10 specifies below, (B) will be entitled to vote at that meeting in the election of the Director for which that Stockholder is making the nomination and (C) complies with this
Section 1.10.

(b) For a Stockholder to bring any nomination of a person for election as a Director properly before any meeting of Stockholders, that Stockholder must have given timely notice of that nomination (a "Nomination Notice") in proper written form to the Secretary. To be timely, a Stockholder's Nomination Notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation: (i) if it relates to an election at any annual meeting of Stockholders, not later than the close of business on the 120th day and not earlier than the 180th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that, if the date of the pending annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after that anniversary date, that Nomination Notice will be timely if it is so delivered not later than the last to occur of the close of business on (A) the 120th day prior to the pending annual meeting or (B) the

-4-

(d) Except as applicable law otherwise provides, the chairman of any annual meeting of Stockholders will have the power and duty to determine whether proposals by Stockholders of any Other Business to be brought before that meeting have been made in accordance with the procedures this Section 1.11 sets forth and, if that chairman determines that any such proposal has not been made in compliance with these procedures, to declare to that meeting that such proposal is defective and will be disregarded.

(e) At any special meeting the Corporation holds pursuant to Section 1.2, the Stockholders will transact only such business as (i) the notice given of that meeting pursuant to Section 1.3 sets forth and (ii) constitutes matters incident to the conduct of that meeting as the chairman of that meeting determines to be appropriate.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a Stockholder also must comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters this
Section 1.11 sets forth.

Section 1.12 Approval or Ratification of Acts or Contracts by Stockholders. The Board in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of Stockholders, or at any special meeting of Stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that the holders of shares of stock of the Corporation present in person or by proxy at that meeting and having a majority of the votes entitled to vote on that approval or ratification approve or ratify will (provided that a quorum is present) be as valid and as binding on the Corporation and on all Stockholders as if every Stockholder had approved or ratified it.

Section 1.13 Action By Consent of Stockholders. Unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, Stockholders may, without a meeting, prior notice or a vote, take any action they must or may take at any annual or special meeting, if the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present sign a written consent to that action which sets forth that action and cause the delivery of that consent to the Corporation (i) at its registered office in the State of Delaware or its principal place of business or (ii) to an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the books in which the Corporation records minutes of proceedings or other actions of Stockholders. Any such delivery made to the Corporation's registered office in the State of Delaware must be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Stockholders may execute any consent pursuant to this Section 1.13 in counterparts, all of which together will constitute a single consent. Every written consent pursuant to this Section 1.13 shall bear the date of signature of each Stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner this Section 1.13 requires, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the

-7-

Corporation in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.13. The Corporation will give prompt notice of the taking pursuant to this Section 1.13 of any action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent to those Stockholders who have not consented to that action in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for that meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as this Section 1.13 provides.

Section 1.14 Conduct of Meetings. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of Stockholders as it deems appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with those rules and regulations, if any, the chairman of any meeting of Stockholders will have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of that chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of that meeting. Those rules, regulations or procedures may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to Stockholders of record, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Except to the extent the Board or the chairman of any meeting otherwise prescribes, no rules or parliamentary procedure will govern any meeting of Stockholders.

ARTICLE VI

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 6.1 General. The Corporation will, to the fullest extent applicable law as it presently exists permits, and to such greater extent as applicable law hereafter may permit, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses whatsoever arising out of any event or occurrence by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a Director or an officer of the Corporation. The Corporation may, but need not, indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee from and against any and all judgments, penalties, fines (including excise taxes), amounts paid in settlement and, subject to Section 6.2, Expenses whatsoever arising out of any event or occurrence by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving in another Corporate Status (other than as a Director or an officer of the Corporation) at the written request of the Corporation.

Section 6.2 Expenses. If any Indemnitee is, by reason of his serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Corporation will indemnify him against all his Expenses in connection therewith. If that Indemnitee is not wholly successful in that Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to any Matter in that Proceeding, the Corporation will indemnify him against all his Expenses relating to that Matter. The termination of any Matter against which any Indemnitee is defending himself by dismissal of that Matter with or without prejudice will constitute success of that Indemnitee with respect to that Matter. If any Indemnitee is, by reason of any Corporate Status other than his serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, a party to and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in any Proceeding, the Corporation may, but need not, indemnify him against all his Expenses in connection therewith. If any Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status, a witness in any Proceeding, the Corporation may, but need not, indemnify him against all his Expenses in connection therewith.

Section 6.3 Advances. In the event of any threatened or pending Proceeding in which any Indemnitee is a party or is involved and that may give rise to a right of that Indemnitee to indemnification under this Article VI, following written request to the Corporation by that Indemnitee, the Corporation promptly will pay to that Indemnitee amounts to cover his Expenses in connection with that Proceeding in advance of its final disposition on the receipt by the Corporation of (i) a written undertaking of that Indemnitee executed by or on behalf of that Indemnitee to repay the advance if it ultimately is determined pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI or by final judgment or other final adjudication under the provisions of any applicable law that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation pursuant to these Bylaws and (ii) satisfactory evidence as to the amount of those Expenses.

Section 6.4 Request for Indemnification. To request indemnification, any Indemnitee must submit to the Secretary a written claim or request therefor which contains sufficient

-13-

information to reasonably inform the Corporation about the nature and extent of the indemnification or advance sought by that Indemnitee. The Secretary will promptly advise the Board of each such request.

Section 6.5 Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights of indemnification and advancement of Expenses this Article VI provides are not exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of Stockholders or a resolution of Directors, or otherwise. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI or any provision hereof will be effective as to any Indemnitee for acts, events and circumstances that occurred, in whole or in part, before that amendment, alteration or repeal. The provisions of this Article VI will continue as to any Indemnitee whose Corporate Status has ceased for any reason and will inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators. Neither the provisions of this Article VI nor those of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party will preclude the indemnification of any person whom this Article VI does not specify as having the right to receive indemnification or is not a party to any such agreement, but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the DGCL.

Section 6.6 Insurance and Subrogation. The Corporation will not be liable under this Article VI to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder to or for the benefit of any Indemnitee if, but only to the extent that, that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract or agreement or otherwise. In the event of any payment hereunder to or for the benefit of any Indemnitee, the Corporation will be subrogated to the extent of that payment to all the rights of recovery of that Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action the Corporation reasonably requests to secure those rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Corporation to bring suit to enforce those rights.

Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI will be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

Section 6.8 Certain Actions Where Indemnification Is Not Provided. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, no person will be entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI with respect to any Proceeding, or any Matter therein, brought or made by that person against the Corporation; provided, however, if any Indemnitee seeks a judicial adjudication of or an award in arbitration to enforce his rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Article VI, that Indemnitee will be entitled to recover from the Corporation, and will be indemnified by the Corporation against, all his Expenses in that judicial adjudication or arbitration, but only if he prevails therein; and if it is determined in that judicial adjudication or arbitration that he is entitled to receive part of, but not all, the indemnification or advancement of expenses sought, his Expenses in connection with that judicial adjudication or arbitration will be appropriately prorated between those in respect of which this Section 6.8 entitles him to indemnification and those he must bear.

Any communication required or permitted to the Corporation must be addressed to the Secretary at the Corporation's principal executive offices, and any such communication to any Indemnitee must be addressed to that Indemnitee's address as shown in the Corporation's records, unless he specifies otherwise, and must be personally delivered or delivered by overnight mail delivery.

AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

GENERAL

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Oceaneering International, Inc. shall consist of three independent directors. Members of the Committee shall be considered independent if they have no relationship to the Company that could interfere with the exercise of their independence from management and the Company. As determined by the Board of Directors, the Members of the Committee will be financially literate with at least one having accounting or related financial management expertise. Company management, internal and independent auditors and the Company's General Counsel may attend each meeting or portions thereof as required by the Committee. The Committee will have two meetings each year on a regular basis and will have special meetings if and when required.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The Audit Committee's role is one of oversight whereas the Company's management is responsible for preparing the Company's financial statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company's financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent auditor's work. The following functions shall be the key responsibilities of the Audit Committee in carrying out its oversight function.

1. The Committee and Board shall be ultimately responsible for the selection, evaluation, and replacement of the independent auditors. The Committee will:

5.

6. Provide an open avenue of communications between the internal and independent auditors and the Board of Directors, including private sessions with the internal and independent auditors, as the Committee may deem appropriate.

7. Review the internal audit program in terms of scope of audits conducted or scheduled to be conducted.

OCEANEERING INTERNATIONAL, INC. EXHIBIT 10.09
2000 BONUS AWARD PLAN

On June 16, 2000, a 2000 Bonus Award Plan was approved by the Company's Board of Directors to be administered by its Compensation Committee. In November 2000, the Company's fiscal year-end changed to a December 31st fiscal year and this bonus award period is for April 1 - December 31, 2000. Individuals were nominated and approved for inclusion in the Plan and reviewed after final results were completed. Recommendations for cash bonus awards were based on the accomplishment of results (Individual, Profit Center and Total Company) in order to determine the amount of award, if any, to be made. People must be amongst the nominated group for eligibility, and be employed by the Company at the time of funding. Bonuses are earned when paid. Individuals, as designated, are subject to a maximum bonus eligibility of 10%-150% of current base salary.

The 2000 Bonus Award Plan is based on achieving specific results by the Individual, his Profit Center and the Total Company. In order to integrate each of these performances in a fashion that benefits the Shareholders and Employees, each item is interrelated. The amount of award recommendation was based on the following methodology:

Individual Coefficient

The Individual Coefficient is determined by taking the individual's weighted average evaluation of objectives achieved times the individual's salary maximum. This is the beginning step in determining the final award. An individual's performance must meet certain minimum criteria or he is eliminated from bonus award consideration.

Profit Center Results Contribution

The Profit Center Contribution is determined by comparing the Profit Center Net Income Objective with the results achieved and determining the Contribution to the Individual Coefficient.

Should the Profit Center results be below a specified amount, all the individuals in that Profit Center may be eliminated from the Award Program. The Chief Executive Officer may review the performance of areas within the region on a case-by-case basis and take appropriate action. Should the actual results be equal to or greater than such specified amount, the individual becomes eligible for an award.

Oceaneering International, Inc. Results Contribution

The Company Results Contribution is determined by comparing the Company's Net Income Result with the Objective planned. The results achieved determine the multiplier used. Thus, an individual may, subject to the determined maximum, be recommended for an award equal to the Individual Coefficient times the Profit Center Contribution times the Company Results Contribution times current base salary.

The 2000 Bonus Award Plan is in effect for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2000. It is extremely important that the Company continue improved results. All participants must be committed to a reward system based on achieving results. The Company is entrepreneurially oriented and must use its maximum creativity, effort and determination in achieving individual results that collectively increases its Shareholders' Net Wealth. The 2000 Bonus Award Plan

is structured to foster that position.
