Couldn't you just keep drilling and drilling till you found the water table and then go diving.

Think of the tourist opportunity.

Water table? What water table? This is Australia you are talking about...... Still, over here on the Mainland we have lots of water.

Take Note and Note Well.....

I did say keep drilling and drilling, or should I have said drill and drill and drill and drill.

And at the same time, include Confined Space Training to Occupational Health and Safety Standards along with HAZMAT Dangerous Goods and Environment Training.

Thanks for all the tips.......

Steve, I'm working on it. I fully expect, when I say the words "i do", to instantly harden the f#ck up, to be able to pass any lingo test, drive a ute, marry a Sheila and to be able to drink like a fish and still stand up. Or drop down and not care.

Dave, you're idea sounds great, apart from the fact that I do have an airconed room with en-suite for the nights... And they actually expect me to do some work in the day. silly buggers. Not going to be easy 6 ft under breathing through a straw.. Wireless internet on my rig, now that would be improvement...

Almighty, I do have 2 sumps, a mud tank and a fresh water tank, but too hot to jump in unfortunatly. Water coming from the bore, about 1 1/2 km up the road travels through black poly and by the time it reaches the rig it's scalding hot. You can't even wash your hands in it.
And I usually drill only HQ which is about 3 3/4 inch diametre, so it'll be hard to stuff my 6'9 arse down there....

Denz.

PS, the best solution I've found so far is to make my off siders do the work....

Three options, Denz

1. Move somewhere colder
2. Get nekkid
3 Wear this shirt. Cool Shirt - Cool Vest - Personal Cooling and be a Chiller Driller.
