ITEM  9.  REGULATION  FD  DISCLOSURE

     On August 9, 2001, Marvin J. Migura, our Senior Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, will make a series of presentations to institutional
investors in Boston. The presentation, entitled "Adding Value Through Strategic
Investments - August 2001", will be available on our web site,
www.oceaneering.com, by first visiting our Shareholder Information page and
then choosing Presentations.

     Please note that certain information contained in the update, as well as
certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time
to time by us or our representatives in our reports and filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, news releases, conferences,
teleconferences, web postings or otherwise, are "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to the "Safe Harbor" provisions of those
statutes. Forward-looking statements 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. These forward-looking statements are
based on our current information and expectations that involve a number of
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Among the factors that could cause the
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements are:

         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.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual
outcomes could vary materially from those indicated. For additional information
regarding these and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, see our
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent
Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of our
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise.
