Before WRIGHT, FARRIS and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.


EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Circuit Judge:

Williams, a commercial deep sea diver, petitions for review of a decision denying him compensation under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) for an injury he received while repairing an inland reservoir. He challenges the Administrative Law Judge's finding that the inland lake was not a situs covered by the Act, and that he was not working in a status covered by the Act. We dismiss his petition.
