Kinda funny question,what do you mean by diving in oil? Never heard of it.
Im trying to learn how to weight myself right for proper buoyancy , betcha it would be a real pain in oil, or maybe no different.

You need to be set up as a hazmat diver, decontaminated after the dive and it's hard on the gear.
Ummm, have to use a lot of extra weight, can't see much, ...
What the heck kind of question is this? No flame, just curious.

The kind that I guess could be quite relevant in situations like a stupuid italian captain taking his cruise ship too close to shore?
"in oil" isnt necesarilly used engine oil or crude oil..

The first divers who got into the USS Tarpon came out covered in 50 year old diesel and lub oils. Most of the gear had to be replaced within the next week as the oil dissolved all of the rubber parts - mask, hoses, BC, dry suit, etc. That was the cost of first penetration - about 4 grand each.
