Item 5.02		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 28, 2011, Oceaneering International, Inc. (“Oceaneering”) announced that T. Jay Collins will retire from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) immediately following Oceaneering’s 2011 annual meeting of shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 6, 2011. M. Kevin McEvoy, Oceaneering’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has been designated to succeed Mr. Collins as President and CEO. Mr. Collins will stand for re-election as a Class I Director at Oceaneering’s 2011 annual meeting of shareholders and continue to be employed by Oceaneering until the end of 2011. It is anticipated that, concurrent with Mr. McEvoy’s appointment as President and CEO after the annual meeting of shareholders, Oceaneering’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) will also add him as a Class II Director. A copy of the press release announcing Mr. McEvoy’s designation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. No changes were made to Mr. McEvoy’s compensation arrangements as a result of this designation, but portions of the total number of performance units and restricted stock units awarded to him on February 25, 2011 and reflected in the table below were awarded in recognition of this designation.

On February 25, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) granted awards of restricted stock units and performance units under Oceaneering’s 2010 Incentive Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”) to various employees, including each of Oceaneering’s executive officers. The following table sets forth the number of performance units and restricted stock units awarded to Oceaneering’s CEO and each other current executive officer of Oceaneering listed as a named executive officer in the “Summary Compensation Table” in Oceaneering’s proxy statement for its 2010 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Named Executive Officers”).


Named Executive Officer and Title	Number of Performance Units(1)	Number of Restricted Stock Units(2)
T. Jay Collins President and Chief Executive Officer	19,500	19,500

M. Kevin McEvoy Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer	19,500	19,500

Marvin J. Migura Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer	7,000	7,000

George R. Haubenreich, Jr. Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary	6,000	6,000

Kevin F. Kerins Senior Vice President — ROVs	4,500	4,500


(1)		The performance units are scheduled to vest in full on the third anniversary of the award date, subject to: (a) earlier vesting on an employee’s attainment of retirement age or the termination or constructive termination of an employee’s employment in connection with a change of control or due to death or disability, resulting in vesting on a pro-rata basis over three years for each of Messrs. Collins, McEvoy, Migura and Haubenreich (as a result of each of them having obtained retirement age); and (b) such other terms as are set forth in the award agreements. The number of performance units shown represent units with an initial notional value of $100 and are not equivalent to shares of Oceaneering common stock. The Compensation Committee has approved specific financial goals and performance measures based on cumulative cash flow from operations and a comparison of return on invested capital and cost of capital for the three-year period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2013 to be used as the basis for the final value of the performance units under the 2010 Incentive Plan. The final value of each performance unit may range from $0 to $150. Upon settlement, the value of the performance units will be payable in cash.

(2)		Restricted stock units are scheduled to vest in full on the third anniversary of the award date, subject to: (a) earlier vesting on an employee’s attainment of retirement age or the termination or constructive termination of an employee’s employment in connection with a change of control or due to death or disability, resulting in vesting on a pro-rata basis over three years for each of Messrs. Collins, McEvoy, Migura and Haubenreich (as a result of each of them having obtained retirement age); and (b) such other terms as are set forth in the award agreements. Each restricted stock unit represents the equivalent of one share of Oceaneering common stock. Settlement of the restricted stock units will be made in shares of Oceaneering common stock.

In addition, the Board granted awards of 8,000 shares of restricted stock under the 2010 Incentive Plan to each of the following nonemployee directors: Jerold J. DesRoche; David S. Hooker; D. Michael Hughes; and Harris J. Pappas. The restricted stock awards are scheduled to vest in full on the first anniversary of the award date, subject to: (a) earlier vesting on a change of control or the termination of the director’s service due to death; and (b) such other terms as are set forth in the award agreements. The Board also granted awards of 15,000 performance units and 15,000 restricted stock units to John R. Huff, Chairman of the Board.

The performance units awarded to Mr. Huff are scheduled to vest on a pro-rata basis over three years from the award date by reason of Mr. Huff having attained retirement age as of the award date, subject to: (a) earlier vesting by reason of Mr. Huff’s cessation of service as Chairman for a reason other than his refusal to serve; and (b) such other terms as are set forth in the award agreement. The performance units have the same notional value equivalent as the awards to executive officers described above. The Board approved the same performance goals and measures over the same time period and with the same range of value as described above for Oceaneering’s executive officers. Upon settlement, the value of the performance units will be payable in cash.

The restricted stock units awarded to Mr. Huff are scheduled to vest on a pro-rata basis over three years from the award date by reason of Mr. Huff having attained retirement age as of the award date, subject to: (a) earlier vesting by reason of Mr. Huff’s cessation as service as Chairman for a reason other than his refusal to serve; and (b) such other terms as are set forth in the award agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents the equivalent of one share of Oceaneering common stock. Settlement of the restricted stock units will be made in shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Compensation Committee approved the grant of an aggregate of 178,900 restricted stock units and 131,600 performance units, and the Board approved the grant of an aggregate of 15,000

performance units, 15,000 restricted stock units and 32,000 shares of restricted stock, including the awards referenced in the table and the discussion above. Those awards were made to a total of 321 Incentive Plan participants.

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved: (1) the form of 2011 Restricted Stock Unit Agreement that will govern the terms and conditions of restricted stock unit awards made to Oceaneering’s executive officers and other employees; and (2) the form of 2011 Performance Unit Agreement and 2011 Performance Award: Goals and Measures that will govern the terms and conditions of performance unit awards made to Oceaneering’s executive officers and other employees. The Board approved: (1) the form of 2011 Nonemployee Director Restricted Stock Agreement that will govern the terms and conditions of restricted stock awards made to Messrs. DesRoche, Hooker, Hughes and Pappas; and (2) the forms of 2011 Chairman Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, 2011 Chairman Performance Unit Agreement and 2011 Performance Award: Goals and Measures that will govern the terms and conditions of the awards of restricted stock units and performance units to our Chairman. As provided in the 2011 Chairman Restricted Stock Unit and Performance Unit Agreements, Mr. Huff is not eligible in 2011 for any retainers or meeting fees applicable to nonemployee directors.

The foregoing descriptions of the awards under the Incentive Plan are not complete and are qualified by reference to the complete agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this report and incorporated by reference into this Item.

On February 25, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved bonuses under Oceaneering’s 2005 Incentive Plan (the “2005 Incentive Plan”) to various employees, including each of the Named Executive Officers. The Committee previously established performance goals for calendar year 2010 with respect to achievement of net income by Oceaneering in calendar year 2010 under the 2005 Incentive Plan (the “2010 Cash Bonus Award Program”). The Committee determined the attainment of such performance goals was 5% more than the target performance goal for 2010. The Committee awarded bonuses under the 2010 Cash Bonus Award Program to the Named Executive Officers. In addition, the Committee approved an additional merit bonus to each of the Named Executive Officers based on Oceaneering’s achievement of the highest net income in 2010 in its history.

The following table summarizes these cash bonuses under the 2010 Cash Bonus Award Program and the additional merit cash bonuses to be paid:


	2010 Cash Bonus
	Award Program		Additional Merit
Named Executive Officer	Amount		Bonus Amount		Total

T. Jay Collins	$	929,700	$	120,300	$	1,050,000
M. Kevin McEvoy	$	510,000	$	90,000	$	600,000
Marvin J. Migura	$	382,500	$	67,500	$	450,000
George R. Haubenreich, Jr.	$	308,500	$	16,500	$	325,000
Kevin F. Kerins	$	170,000	$	15,000	$	185,000

On February 25, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a performance-based 2011 Cash Bonus Award Program under Oceaneering’s 2010 Incentive Plan, with any payments to be made no later than March 15, 2012. Bonuses under this program for executive officers will be determined by the level of achievement of net income for calendar year 2011 compared to the planned amount recommended by Oceaneering’s management and approved by the Committee. Under this program, the maximum possible bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, as a percentage of each such officer’s base salary for 2011, is as follows:


			Maximum Bonus
			as a Percentage
Named Executive Officer	2011 Base Salary		of Base Salary

T. Jay Collins	$	700,000		175	%
M. Kevin McEvoy	$	500,000		150	%

9. Assignment of Award. Except as otherwise permitted by the Committee and as provided in the immediately following paragraph, the Participant’s rights under the Plan and this Agreement are personal, and no assignment or transfer of the Participant’s rights under and interest in this Award may be made by the Participant other than by a domestic relations order. This Award is payable during his lifetime only to the Participant, or in the case of the Participant being mentally incapacitated, this Award shall be payable to his guardian or legal representative.

The Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (the “Beneficiary”) to whom the Award under this Agreement, if any, will pass upon the Participant’s death and may change such designation from time to time by filing with the Company a written designation of Beneficiary on the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or such other form as may be prescribed by the Committee; provided that no such designation shall be effective unless so filed prior to the death of the Participant and no such designation shall be effective as of a date prior to receipt by the Company. The Participant may change his Beneficiary without the consent of any prior Beneficiary by filing a new designation with the Company. The last such designation that the Company receives in accordance with the foregoing provisions will be controlling. Following the Participant’s death, the Award, if any, will pass to the designated Beneficiary and such person will be deemed the Participant for purposes of any applicable provisions of this Agreement. If no such designation is made or if the designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant’s death, the Award shall pass by will or, if none, then by the laws of descent and distribution.

10. Withholding. The Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable withholding requirements including those related to federal, state and local income and Service taxes (the “Required Withholding”). The Company may withhold an appropriate amount of cash (with respect to the payment of dividend equivalents) or number of shares from the Common Stock that would otherwise have been delivered to the Participant (with respect to the settlement of the Award) necessary to satisfy the Participant’s Required Withholding, and deliver the remaining amount of cash or shares of Common Stock to the Participant, unless the Participant has made arrangements with the Company for the Participant to deliver to the Company cash, check, other available funds or shares of previously owned Common Stock for the full amount of the Required Withholding by 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the date an amount is included in the income of the Participant. The amount of the Required Withholding and the number of shares to satisfy the Participant’s Required

Page 6 of 9

11. Stock Certificates. Any certificates representing the Common Stock issued pursuant to the settlement of an Award will bear all legends required by law and necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of the Plan and this Award. The Company may place a “stop transfer” order against shares of the Common Stock issued pursuant to this Award until all restrictions and conditions set forth in the Plan or this Agreement and in the legends referred to in this Paragraph 11 have been complied with.

12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Participant, the Company and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including personal representatives, heirs and legatees), except that the Participant may not assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement except to the extent and in the manner expressly permitted in Paragraph 9 of this Agreement.

13. No Service Guaranteed. No provision of this Agreement shall confer any right upon the Participant to continued Service with the Company or any Subsidiary.

14. Code Section 409A Compliance. If any provision of this Agreement would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Code Section 409A and related regulations and Treasury pronouncements (“Section 409A”), that provision will be reformed to avoid imposition of the additional tax, including that any Award subject to Section 409A held by a specified employee that is settled by reason of termination of employment (other than death) shall be delayed in payment until the expiration of six months, and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to adversely affect the Participant’s rights to an Award.

Exhibit 99.1

Oceaneering Announces McEvoy to Succeed Collins as President and CEO

February 28, 2011 — Houston, Texas — Oceaneering International, Inc. (NYSE:OII) announced that T. Jay Collins will retire from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) immediately following the 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is scheduled to be held on May 6, 2011. M. Kevin McEvoy, Oceaneering’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has been designated to succeed Mr. Collins as President and CEO.

Mr. McEvoy has been with Oceaneering for 32 years, serving since late February 2010 in his current position. He started his offshore career as an officer in the U.S. Navy working in the areas of diving, salvage, and submarine rescue. During his tenure at Oceaneering, he has held a variety of progressively more responsible domestic and international positions in marketing, administration, and operations.

T. Jay Collins stated, “I am very pleased to turn over the executive leadership of Oceaneering to such a qualified and experienced individual as Kevin, who I have worked with since I joined the company in 1993. I am confident he will continue to manage and plan for the growth of Oceaneering and am positive our business strategy of focusing on deepwater services and products will continue to prosper under his direction.”

Mr. Collins will stand for re-election as a Class I Director at Oceaneering’s May 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It is anticipated that concurrent with Mr. McEvoy’s appointment as President and CEO after the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Oceaneering’s Board will also add him as a Class II Director.

Statements in this press release that express a belief, expectation, or intention are forward looking. The forward-looking statements in this press release include the statements concerning: Mr. Collins’ expressed confidence that Mr. McEvoy will continue to manage and plan for the growth of the company; Mr. Collins’ expectation that Oceaneering’s business strategy of focusing on deepwater services and products will continue to prosper under Mr. McEvoy’s direction; and the anticipation that Mr. McEvoy will be added to the Board of Directors as a Class II Director. These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on current information and expectations of Oceaneering.

Oceaneering is a global oilfield provider of engineered services and products, primarily to the offshore oil and gas industry, with a focus on deepwater applications. Through the use of its applied technology expertise, Oceaneering also serves the defense and aerospace industries.
