Maui A (Part 1)

Dreaded HUET (Helicopter Underwater Evacuation Training Unit)

Maui A drilling platform is a small speck on the Tasman sea, 35 kilometers off the Taranaki coastline. The (mostly) men who live and work there have a unique kind of existence, and recently Justin Gregory flew out to meet them. But before he could go, he first had to survive nearly a week of safety training with life boats, gas fires and crashing helicopters. Spectrum learns to duck and cover in Helicopters, Hard Hats and Hydrocarbons: Life on Maui A Gas Platform.
