I am almost 33 years old and have been in corporate America for the past 7 years. I need a change and I hope commercial diving is still an option. I keep reading that offshore diving stops being an option around the age of 38 or 40, is this more of a guide line or a rule? What are the chances of working in the offshore arena after 40? I am in good physical condition, approaching great. I have a limited knowledge/ experience working with my hands and no scuba experience. I worked construction for about 5 years in my 20's. I am very comfortable in the water and on the water. I am not afraid of hard work.

Are there any schools in California? I keep finding them on the gulf and the east coast but not the west.

Any additional info that can be supplied by an experienced commercial diver would be greatly appreciated, i.e; the stuff you wish you knew before choosing this as a career.
 
I would have thought you'd want to get some diving experience first before deciding if you wanted to do commercial diving as a career...
