Hi all,
So I have been looking into commercial diving as a job and have done quite a bit of research into it and have been trying to find different ways to get into the job mainly because I keep seeing/hearing that there is no guarantee after qualification that you would be able to get a job and that’s a lot of money to go to waste should you not be able to find placement.
So I was pondering the many underwater jobs available and it came to me that civil engineering would be on the table also and after some research I found marine civil engineering.. thing is I am now a bit confused.. what exactly is the difference between the two? Because it seems like some of the things both jobs entail overlap which makes me feel like they potentially are two of the same jobs but just called different things?
I figured this would be the best place to ask the question as this is a community of divers and so guys, please help me understand what the difference between the two are.
Also I have seen some places say you have to be 35 and younger to start commercial diving but then there has been many other places that doesn’t mention a certain age requirement especially one that says specifically 35… by your knowledge can you get into commercial diving at or after 35 years old?
TIA
