How many of you here have had experience working in The North sea or the The Mediterranean?
The North sea VS The Mediterranean sea I have always wondered which one of these seas have the more unfavorable climate conditions, and hard to work at.

Nice comparism
I'd put good money on the north sea being more unfavorable to work on. It's certainly less predictable and subject to worse weather conditions for sailing.
And it's cold as hell, too.
Yes, you are right. Especially when you're offshore for months.
Can’t speak for North Sea but Mediterranean Sea is not so rough. Crossing the Atlantic during hurricane season in the us was probably the roughest body of water I’ve been in.
I only have experience working in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, in which the Gulf seems calm.
