SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus, but does not contain all information that may be important to you.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include specific terms of the
offering of the notes, information about our business and financial data. We encourage you to
read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, together with the documents
incorporated by reference, in their entirety before making an investment decision.

In this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we refer to Pride
International, Inc. and its subsidiaries as "we," "us" or "Pride," unless we specifically
indicate otherwise or the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms "2020 notes" and
"2040 notes" refer to the 6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2020 and the 7 7/8% Senior Notes due 2040,
respectively. The term "notes" refers to both series of notes collectively.

About Pride

We are one of the world's largest offshore drilling contractors. As of July 28, 2010, we
operated a fleet of 24 rigs, consisting of three deepwater drillships, 12 semisubmersible rigs,
seven independent leg jackups and two managed deepwater drilling rigs. We also have three
deepwater drillships under construction, with the total remaining costs for the construction
projects estimated to be approximately $1.1 billion as of June 30, 2010. Our customers include
major integrated oil and natural gas companies, state-owned national oil companies and
independent oil and natural gas companies. Our competitors range from large international
companies offering a wide range of drilling services to smaller companies focused on more
specific geographic or technological areas.

We provide contract drilling services to oil and natural gas exploration and production
companies through the use of mobile offshore drilling rigs in U.S. and international waters. We
provide the rigs and drilling crews and are responsible for the payment of operating and
maintenance expenses. In addition, we also provide rig management services on a variety of
rigs, consisting of technical drilling assistance, personnel, repair and maintenance services and
drilling operation management services.

The Offering


Securities Offered
$900 million aggregate principal amount of 67/8% Senior
Notes due 2020

$300 million aggregate principal amount of 77/8% Senior
Notes due 2040

Maturity Date
August 15, 2020 for the 2020 notes

August 15, 2040 for the 2040 notes

Interest Payment Dates
February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing
February 15, 2011

Optional Redemption
We may elect to redeem any or all of the notes of a series at
any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount
of notes redeemed plus a make-whole premium. We will
also pay accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
Please read "Description of the Notes -- Optional
Redemption."

Ranking
The notes will constitute our senior unsecured debt and will
rank:

· equally in right of payment with our senior unsecured debt
from time to time outstanding;

· senior in right of payment to our subordinated debt from
time to time outstanding; and

· effectively junior to our secured debt and to the debt of our
subsidiaries from time to time outstanding.

Covenants
We will issue the notes under an indenture containing
covenants for your benefit. These covenants restrict our
ability, with certain exceptions, to:

· incur debt secured by liens;

· engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and

· merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of our
assets.

Change in Control
If specified change in control events resulting in specified
rating declines with respect to a series of notes (as described
under "Description of the Notes -- Repurchase at the
Option of Holders on Certain Changes in Control") occur
prior to maturity, you may require us to purchase all or part
of your notes of that series at a repurchase price equal to
101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest through the applicable purchase date.

Use of Proceeds
We expect the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to
be approximately $1,189.3 million, after deducting
underwriting discounts and estimated expenses of the
offering that we will pay. We will use approximately
$517.6 million of the net proceeds to retire the $500 million
outstanding principal amount of our 73/8% Senior Notes due
2014. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds for
general corporate purposes, which may include payments
with respect to our three drillships under construction and

holders.

with, the laws of the State of New York.
