                  CAL DIVE INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Cal Dive
International, Inc. (Cal Dive, CDI or the Company) and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Energy Resource Technology, Inc. (ERT) and Cal Dive Offshore, Ltd.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
These financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to
instructions for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q required to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and
footnotes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Management has reflected all adjustments (which were normal recurring
adjustments) which it believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated balance sheets, results of operations, and cash flows, as
applicable. Operating results for the periods ended June 30, 1998, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 1998. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN AQUATICA, INC.

In February 1998, CDI purchased a significant minority equity interest in
Aquatica, Inc. for $5 million, in addition to a commitment to lend additional
funds of up to $5 million to allow Aquatica to purchase vessels and fund other
growth opportunities. Aquatica, Inc., headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, is
a surface diving company founded in October 1997 with the acquisition of
Acadiana Divers, a 15 year old surface diving company. Dependent upon various
preconditions, as defined, the shareholders of Aquatica, Inc. have the right to
convert their shares into Cal Dive shares at a ratio based on a formula which,
among other things, values their interest in Aquatica, Inc. and must be
accretive to Cal Dive shareholders. CDI accounts for this investment on the
equity basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes. 


NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF OFFSHORE BLOCKS

In January 1998, ERT acquired interests in six blocks involving two separate
fields (a 55% interest in East Cameron 231 and a 10% interest in East Cameron
353) from Sonat Exploration Company ("Sonat"). The properties were purchased in
exchange for cash of $1 million, as well as assumption of Sonat's pro rata share
of the related decommissioning liability. 
<PAGE>
NOTE 4 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company changed its method of accounting for
regulatory (U.S. Coast Guard, American Bureau of Shipping and Det Norske
Veritas) related drydock inspection and certification expenditures. This change
was made due to the significant changes in the composition of the Company's
fleet which has been expanded to include more sophisticated dynamically
positioned vessels that are capable of working in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico,
a key to Cal Dive's operating strategy. The change also coincides with the first
time these vessels were due for drydock inspection and certification since being
acquired by CDI. The Company previously expensed inspection and certification
costs as incurred; however, effective January 1, 1998, such expenditures will be
capitalized and amortized over the 30-month period between regulatory mandated
drydock inspections and certification. This predominant industry practice
provides better matching of expenses with the period benefited (i.e.,
certification to operate the vessel for a 30-month period between required
drydock inspections and to meet bonding and insurance coverage requirements).
This change had an $800,000 positive impact on net income, or $0.05 per share,
in the Company's first quarter 1998 consolidated financial statements. The
cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle is immaterial to the
Company's consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.


NOTE 5 - SECONDARY STOCK OFFERING

In May 1998, the Company completed a secondary offering of 2,867,070 shares of
common stock at $33.50 per share on behalf of certain selling shareholders. The
Company received no proceeds from the offering. However, shareholder liquidity
was enhanced as public ownership increased to approximately 50% of the shares
outstanding and accordingly, the average daily trading volume of CDI has
increased proportionately since the secondary offering.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

      This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain or incorporate by reference
certain forward-looking statements, including by way of illustration and not of
limitation, statements relating to liquidity, margins, the Company's business
strategy, plans for future operations, and the industry conditions. The Company
strongly encourages readers to note that some or all of the assumptions, upon
which such forward-looking statements are based, are beyond the Company's
ability to control or estimate precisely, and may in some cases be subject to
rapid and material changes. Accordingly, evaluation of future prospects of the
Company must be made with caution when relying on forward-looking information.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

      REVENUES. During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's
revenues increased 35% to $38.5 million compared to $28.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997. The Subsea and Salvage segment contributed all of
the increase with the sales of the Natural Gas and Oil Production segment
remaining relatively flat. 70% of the increase was due to exceptional offshore
performance by CDI's DP fleet, particularly the UNCLE JOHN and WITCH QUEEN,
which both doubled their respective revenues in the second quarter of 1998
compared to the second quarter of 1997. The remainder of the increase was due to
the addition of the Dynamically Positioned ("DP") MERLIN and the charter of the
CSO CONSTRUCTOR filling in for the BALMORAL SEA which was out of service for
scheduled maintenance and inspection.

      Natural gas and oil production revenue for the three months ended June 30,
1998 was $3.3 million as compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. Production declined slightly during the second quarter of 1998 as
compared to the second quarter 1997. However this decrease was offset by higher
gas prices which averaged $2.24/Mcf during the three months ended June 30, 1998
as compared to $2.01/Mcf for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

      GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased $2.9 million, or 31%, from $9.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, to $12.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The increase was due mainly to exceptional offshore
performance and strong rates for the DP fleet (particularly the UNCLE JOHN and
WITCH QUEEN) which offset the favorable impact of a large, complex construction
project in shallow water completed in the second quarter of 1997. Subsea and
Salvage margins remained strong at 32% during the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.

      Natural gas and oil production gross profit was $900,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $1.3 million during the same period
in the prior year. Several key wells required workover operations and the second
quarter of 1997 included a gain of $500,000 from the sale of two properties.

                                      - 7 -
<PAGE>
      SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
increased $1.7 million, to $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998, as compared to $2.0 million during the same period in the prior year.
Included in the $3.7 million is a $1 million provision principally for 1998
Incentive Compensation. In prior years, roughly 65% of CDI's business came in
the second half of the year and thus incentive targets were not achieved (and
bonuses were not recorded) until late in the third and into the fourth quarter.
However, based on the first half 1998 bottom line results, a provision was
recorded in the second quarter 1998 for incentive compensation. The remainder of
the increase is due to the addition of new personnel to support the Company's
deepwater strategy and growth in its base business.

      OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. The Company recorded $500,000 in the second
quarter of 1998 reflecting its share of the second quarter earnings of Aquatica,
Inc., the investment made in February of this year. The Company recorded net
interest income and other of $224,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998
in contrast to $317,000 of net interest expense and other for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. This improvement was due to the repayment of all
outstanding debt with proceeds from its initial public offering of Common Stock
in July 1997.

      INCOME TAXES. Income taxes of $3.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, increased over the comparable prior year period due to increased
profitability.

      NET INCOME. Net income of $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998 was $1.4 million, or 29%, more than the comparable period in 1997 as a
result of factors described above.



COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

      REVENUES. Consolidated revenues of $71.7 million for the first half of
1998 was 52% more than the $47.1 million earned during the first half of 1997
with the Subsea and Salvage segment contributing all of the increase. The
majority of the increase was due to increased demand for services provided by
CDI's DP vessels, particularly the UNCLE JOHN and WITCH QUEEN which together
contributed 60% of the increase. The charter of the MARIANOS during the first
quarter of 1998 contributed $3.9 million as the vessel filled in while the WITCH
QUEEN was in drydock for scheduled maintenance and likewise the CONSTRUCTOR
contributed $3.9 million while the BALMORAL SEA was out of service in the second
quarter of 1998.

      Natural gas and oil production was $7.1 million for the first half of 1998
as compared to $8.2 million for the first half of 1997. Most of the decrease was
due to a decline in average gas prices from $2.48/Mcf for the first half of 1997
to $2.18/Mcf during the six months ended June 30, 1998 as production was
constant at 2.7 Bcf.

      GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by $8.0 million, or 54%, from $14.7
million in the first half of 1997 to $22.7 million in the first half of 1998
with the UNCLE JOHN and WITCH QUEEN making up the majority of the increase. The
remaining increase was due to improved demand for the two saturation diving
vessels and to the impact of a change in the method of accounting for regulatory
related drydock inspection and certification expenditures (see Note 4 of
Consolidated Financial Statements). Subsea and Salvage margins increased from
28% in the first half of 1997 to 31% during the first half of 1998 due mainly to
the impact of the accounting change.


                                      - 8 -
<PAGE>
      Natural gas and oil production gross profit was $2.5 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $4.0 million for the comparable prior
year period. The decrease was due to the aforementioned $500,000 gain recorded
on the sale of two properties during the second quarter of 1997 and to the
decline in average gas prices during the first half of 1998 as compared to the
first half of 1997.

      SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling and administrative expenses
increased $2.4 million to $6.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to the first half of 1997. The $6.5 million includes a $1 million
provision principally for 1998 Incentive Compensation. The remainder of the
increase is due to the addition of new personnel to support the Company's
deepwater strategy and growth in its base business. Even with the increase in
administrative costs such expenses represented 9% of revenues, a level identical
to the first half of 1997.

      OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE. The Company recorded $633,000 in the first half
of 1998 reflecting its share of earnings of Aquatica, Inc. Net interest income
and other of $434,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compares to
$649,000 of net interest expense and other for the six months ended June 30,
1997. This improvement was due to the repayment of all outstanding debt with
proceeds from its initial public offering of Common Stock in July 1997.

      INCOME TAXES. Income taxes were $6.0 million for the first half of 1998 as
compared to $3.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase was
due to the Company's increased profitability.

      NET INCOME. Net income increased 73% to $11.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $6.5 million in the first half of 1997 as a
result of factors described above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has historically funded its operating activities by internally
generated cash flow. An initial public offering of common stock was completed on
July 7, 1997, with the sale of 2,875,000 shares generating net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $39.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and
issuance costs. The proceeds were used to fund capital expenditures during 1997,
and to repay all outstanding long-term indebtedness. As of June 30, 1998, the
Company had $29.3 million of working capital (including $18.2 million of cash on
hand) and no debt outstanding after funding ERT's purchase of offshore
properties and the equity investment in Aquatica. Additionally, CDI has
approximately $40.0 million available under a Revolving Credit Agreement. The
Company has had, and anticipates having additional discussions with third
parties regarding possible asset acquisitions (including natural gas and oil
properties and vessels). However, the Company can give no assurance that any
such transaction can be completed.

      OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash provided by operating activities was $19.6
million in the six months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $10.2 million
provided in the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase is primarily the
result of increased profitability of the Company. Accounts Payable increased
$8.1 million at June 30, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997 due mainly to the
increase in activity during the second quarter of 1998 as compared to the fourth
quarter 1997 and significant accruals as of June 30, 1998 for the Tera Nova
project in the third quarter 1998 (including upgrade and preparation costs of
the SEA SORCERESS). Other current

                                      - 9 -
<PAGE>
assets increased $5.1 million at June 30, 1998 as compared to December 31, 1997
due mainly to the aforementioned Tera Nova deferred project costs and the impact
of the Company's change in method of accounting for regulatory related drydock
inspection and certification expenditures.

      INVESTING ACTIVITIES. The Company incurred $9.3 million of capital
expenditures during the first half of 1998 compared to $10.2 million during the
comparable prior year period. In January 1998, ERT acquired interests in six
blocks involving two separate fields from Sonat Exploration Company for $1.0
million and assumption of Sonat's pro rata share of the related decommissioning
liability. The remaining balance includes costs associated with placing the
MERLIN in service and additions to the SEA SORCERESS in preparation for the Tera
Nova project as well as the cost of new steel and equipment added to the WITCH
QUEEN, BALMORAL SEA and CAL DIVER V. Nearly half of the $10.2 million incurred
during the first half of 1997 related to the acquisition of two ROV's from
Coflexip with a majority of the remaining balance representing costs associated
with installation of a derrick on the UNCLE JOHN.

      In February 1998, the Company purchased a significant minority equity
investment in Aquatica, Inc. (a surface diving company) for $5.0 million, in
addition to a commitment to lend additional funds of $5.0 million to allow
Aquatica to purchase vessels and fund other growth opportunities. During the
second quarter of 1997, the Company sold two offshore natural gas and oil
properties for approximately $1.0 million.

      FINANCING ACTIVITIES. The only activity in 1998 represents the exercise of
stock options. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company repaid
$5.0 million, net of its borrowings under its Revolving Credit Agreement with
Fleet Capital Corporation. Subsequent to June 30, 1997, the Company paid off the
remaining $20.0 million outstanding on July 7, 1997, with proceeds from the
initial public offering. During the second quarter of 1997 Coflexip acquired 3.7
million shares of the Company's stock, consisting of 3.2 million shares sold by
management and First Reserve Funds and 528,541 shares sold by the Company.

      CAPITAL COMMITMENTS. The Company does not have any material commitments
for capital expenditures for the next year. However, as discussed previously, in
connection with its business strategy, management expects the Company to acquire
or build additional vessels, as well as buy additional natural gas and oil
properties.


IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE

      The Company has assessed what computer software will require modification
or replacement so that its computer systems will properly utilize dates beyond
December 31, 1999. The Company has purchased, and is presently implementing, a
new project management accounting system which is Year 2000 compliant. This
system, which fully integrates all of its modules, will provide project managers
and accounting personnel with up-to-date information enabling them to better
control jobs in addition to providing benefits in inventory control and planned
vessel maintenance. This implementation will be completed during 1998.
Accordingly, the Company believes that with this conversion, the Year 2000 issue
will be resolved in a timely manner and presently does not believe that the cost
to become Year 2000 compliant will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements. In this regard, it should be noted
that CDI's vessel computer DP systems are dependent on government satellites and
the government has not yet confirmed that they have solved Year 2000 data
problems.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

      The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings primarily
      involving claims for personal injury under the General Maritime Laws of
      the United States and Jones Act as a result of alleged negligence. The
      Company carries insurance for these types of risks and believes that the
      outcome of all such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect
      on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or net cash
      flows.
