NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION

TO A VIRTUAL-ONLY 2020 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To the Shareholders of Oceaneering International, Inc.:

In the interest of the health and safety of our shareholders, directors, officers, employees and other meeting participants, and in light of developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and U.S. federal, state and local public health authorities, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Oceaneering International, Inc. ("Oceaneering") now will be held by remote communication in a virtual-only format via an audio webcast. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. The previously announced date and time of the meeting (May 8, 2020 at 8:30 a.m., Central Daylight Saving Time) has not changed. The items of business are the same as set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Proxy Statement") previously mailed or made available to shareholders. The format of the virtual meeting has been designed to ensure that shareholders who attend the meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in- person meeting. All of Oceaneering's directors are currently expected to attend the meeting via the webcast. Oceaneering currently expects future annual meetings of its shareholders to be held in person. More details are provided below.

Attending the Virtual Annual Meeting

To attend the virtual Annual Meeting, log in at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OII2020. Shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 20, 2020 will need to enter, when prompted, their unique control numbers, which appear on their proxy cards (printed in the box and marked by the arrow). Those without a control number may attend the virtual Annual Meeting by registering, when prompted, as guests, but they will not have the option to vote their shares or ask questions during the Annual Meeting.

Voting Matters

None of the agenda items presented in the Proxy Statement are affected by the change to the virtual-only meeting format. The proxy card and voting instruction form previously distributed with the Proxy Statement will not be updated to reflect the change to a virtual-only meeting and may continue to be used to vote shares in connection with the Annual Meeting. If you have already voted by proxy, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. Validly completed proxies and voting instruction forms already returned for use at the Annual Meeting will remain valid and will be voted at the Annual Meeting unless revoked. Shares represented by validly completed proxies or voting instruction forms timely returned before the Annual Meeting will be voted with respect to all other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting as instructed thereon.

Information regarding how to vote your shares, or revoke your proxy or voting instructions, is available beginning on page 1 of the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting. The following summarizes the methods by which you may vote:

Voting by Mail- You may sign, date and return your proxy card in the pre-addressed,postage-paid envelope provided. If you return your proxy card without indicating how you want to vote, the designated proxies will vote as recommended by our Board.

Voting by Telephone- If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by proxy by using the toll-free number listed on your proxy card.

Voting via the Internet- If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote in advance of the meeting at www.proxyvote.com. Whether or not you choose to vote in advance, you may cast or change your vote by logging into and voting at the virtual meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. However, even if you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting via the webcast, we recommend that you also vote by proxy as described in the Notice and Proxy Statement, so that your votes will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the meeting.

Submitting Questions at the Annual Meeting.

In connection with the Annual Meeting, Oceaneering will hold a live Q&A session, during which its management intends to answer any questions submitted by shareholders of record during the meeting, in accordance with the Rules of Conduct for the meeting, which are pertinent to the meeting matters, as time permits. Shareholders may submit questions in writing during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OII2020. Shareholders will need their unique control numbers, which appear on their proxy cards (printed in the box and marked by the arrow). If there are questions pertinent to meeting matters that cannot be answered due to time constraints, our management will post answers to a representative set of such questions that are not addressed during the meeting as promptly as practicable following the meeting on our website at www.oceaneering.com under the links "Investor Relations"-"Governance." Those questions and answers will be available until we file our proxy statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Technical Difficulties

Oceaneering will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the Annual Meeting live audio webcast. Online access to the audio webcast will open approximately 30 minutes prior to the start of the meeting to allow time for shareholders to log in and test the audio system. Oceaneering encourages shareholders to access the webcast prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, so that any technical difficulties may be addressed before the Annual Meeting live audio webcast begins.

Other Information

A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, which is ordinarily available for inspection at a physical annual meeting of shareholders, will be available for inspection during the Annual Meeting by any shareholder registered as a participant through the webcast during the Annual Meeting. In addition, the Rules of Conduct referenced above will be available for review by participants and guests during the webcast.
