I am seriously thinking about a career in the commercial diving field. If there's anyone out there who can point me in the right direction, It would be greatly appreciated. As of right now, I've been working in a machine shop for the past nine years and i HATE every minute im there. I have no diving experience, but am extremely motivated for a new career.
any commercial divers?

Yea, there are a few of use out here.
Advice:
1. Learn to swim and get your SCUBA certification.
2. let us know what part of the world you live in and we can tell you about the schools local to you.
3. Working as a commercial diver is not SCUBA diving. It is working in cold, mucky water that you can't see in during the worst possible time of the year. Offshore you will be treated like some know-nothing, snot nose kid for the first two or three years duing your apprenticship. The hours are long, usually 12 or more a shift, and off shore is Friday to Friday, no days off until the project is done.
Otherwise please ask more questions.
