     (c)  Exhibits

          99.1      Press Release dated April 1, 2003

Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

         On April 1, 2003, OMNI Energy Services Corp. (the "Company") issued a
press release announcing financial results for its fiscal year 2002. The press
release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is furnished to, but
not filed with, the Commission. This information is provided under Item 9 and
Item 12 of Form 8-K.

         The press release includes net loss excluding a non-recurring gain,
which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Presenting net loss excluding a
non-recurring gain provides insight into the results of operations of the
Company and facilitates comparisons between the results of operations of the
Company for the current, past and future periods. Management believes that the
presentation of net loss excluding a non-recurring gain is useful to investors
for these reasons.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
