Can you make a video specifically talking about your personal experience in learning how to dive, how hard are lessons? What’s the lifestyle of a commercial diver? Because I’m really interested in this field but I don’t know much about it to be sure
@Daineal Murray It all depends where you work. But in general your social life will take a big hit as you're always away, missing events. It's fun travelling but keeping relationships needs alot of work. I've been in the industry since 2013, i did my training at the TUC in Fort William, then did an inspection diving course in Middlesbrough. Money is good but you have to weigh it up with being away alot. Like now, I work mainly in Nigeria. I've been away since Feb because of the virus. No flights since March. But usually it's 60days in, 60 days off
@@odin5188 Might I ask a question if you don't mind, answer if you want to. I have dive experience but no experience with the actual work you do underwater. Ex. Construction, inspecting, towing, welding etc etc. Do you learn this after taking the comm. dive license? Did you attend any trade school or did you join the industry with just comm. dive and later the inspec. course? Thanks in advance.
@@axelnordstrom3900 All commericial dive school is really is making you safe underwater. That's to say you know what to do if any emergency and you're competent. Yes you touch on underwater tools such as air bags pneumatic and hydraulic tools tasters but rescue/controlled ascending is what your marked on. After the 10-12 week course is when you can go for welding and inspection courses. But for inspection diving, you need some commericial dive logs before you can go
@@odin5188 So really you go to school and afterwards you try to land an entry level job, get some experience and meanwhile go to useful courses for within the industry (like inspection diving) ? So most actual work skill is learned through courses and on-job experience? Thanks for the quick response.
Dude! That was an honor to try out the creation that made diving possible at all. The physics and the logic are still the same and if you don't understand or respect them, then this is not the place for you. Going underwater is a question of respect for the world in general and the people before us, who made it possible.
@@jamesgarrity3532 They still have canvas suits for sale, around $1500. That's just the suit. A lot of parts go on it, very expensive. Interesting that you can still buy all the equipment needed.
Diving? Of course. Humans are not meant to live or work underwater. That's why we are not holding our breath and working, but enjoying the constant air flow from the surface. And why do you need to learn this in a diving school? To do it in a safe way. So is it still dangerous? Yes, but if you do it according to the rules and regulations as we are taught, then and only then it is not so dangerous. But you have to be aware of the dangers all the time.
@@nothingheretowatch7371 Yes, we have some companies scouting people straight after graduation. But all in all, you yourself have to be good and in the right mindset. You should always think through all the angles of a job offer. Not only as a worker but what would you search in a worker as a job supplier. Wich kind of a worker would you hire? And are you yourself at the moment the best option for them. Do you have some more special skills that might come in handy (not only barely making the cut) and so on...

Do you know if canvas diving suits are still made? And are your boots weighted?
I tried to google it, but I think the canvas suits are no longer been made. And the boots?... are weighted of course ;)
@@rannarlaur I think that replica canvas and latex suits are still being made.
DESCO corporation. You can get the entire hard hat( MK V) dress from them.

Have you learned to jet yet?
Is that dangerous

@@rannarlaur Very good advice, I'm in the industry coming up to 7 years. How are you finding it with the coronavirus?
