Item 8.01 Other Events.

Modified SEC Reporting

As previously reported, on March 3, 2015, Cal Dive International, Inc. (the "Company") and its United States subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed simultaneous voluntary petitions (the "Chapter 11 Cases") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code").  The Debtors are continuing in possession of their assets and are managing their businesses as debtors in possession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court in the proceeding "In re Cal Dive International, Inc., et al.", Case No. 15-10458.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company has adopted a modified reporting program with respect to its reporting obligations under federal securities laws.  In lieu of filing annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, each month the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") a current report on Form 8-K that will have attached to it the monthly financial report required by the Bankruptcy Court.  Accordingly, the Company did not file an annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, nor will it file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.  The Company does not intend to file periodic reports while the Chapter 11 Cases are pending, but will continue to file current reports on Form 8-K as required by federal securities laws.  The Company believes that this modified reporting program is consistent with the protection of its investors as set forth in Exchange Act Release No. 9660, dated June 30, 1972.

Monthly Operating Report

On May 5, 2015, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report for the period beginning March 4, 2015 and ending March 31, 2015 (the "Monthly Operating Report") with the Bankruptcy Court.  The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.  This Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) should not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Cautionary Note Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company.  The Monthly Operating Report pertains only to the Debtors and thus does not represent operations of all of the Company's subsidiaries.  The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements applicable in the Chapter 11 Cases and is in a format acceptable to the U.S. Trustee.  The Company is not required to publicly update the Monthly Operating Report to reflect more current facts or estimates or the occurrence of future events, including if the facts, estimates and assumptions upon which the Monthly Operating Report is based are erroneous.  The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent public accountants, does not contain all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation.  There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company's securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete.  The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company's reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company's financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company's financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act.  Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.


Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included herein may constitute "forward-looking" statements that are generally identifiable through the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project" and similar expressions and include any statements that are made regarding earnings expectations.  The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise such statements to reflect new information or events as they occur.  These statements are based on a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company.  Investors are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual future results may differ materially due to a variety of factors.  Factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially include: (i) the Company's ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) the Company's ability to operate its business during this process, (iii) the effects of the Company's bankruptcy filing on the Company's business and the interests of various creditors, equity holders and other constituents, (iv) the length of time the Company will operate under the Chapter 11 Cases,  (v)  risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, which may interfere with the Company's ability to develop and consummate a plan of reorganization, (vi) the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company's liquidity or results of operations, and (vii) other factors disclosed by the Company from time to time in its filings with the SEC, including those described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. As a result of these factors, the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Cautionary Note Regarding Chapter 11 Cases

The Company's stockholders are cautioned that trading in shares of the Company's equity securities during the pendency of its Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks.  Trading prices for the Company's equity securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company's equity upon wind-up of the Chapter 11 Cases.  Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its equity securities.

Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update such statements.
