Hello everyone, I want to take a commercial diving course but I’m not sure when and where to do it. Let me give you some context: I’m currently taking a welding course where we learn all types of welding, and the course ends in August. I’m not sure whether to work for a while as a welder and gain experience or go straight into the commercial diving course and enter the industry. Maybe not as a welder, but doing other types of underwater work. I’m good with my hands, having done plumbing, mechanics, so I think this could be useful.
My other question is that I live in Spain, where they offer professional diving courses, but they’re only valid for work within Spanish territory, and they’re divided into shallow, medium, and deep diving. I was thinking of doing the shallow course and trying to find work here in Spain to gain experience, and then later do the IMCA-certified course in Norway. Or would it be better to finish the welding course and go straight to Norway?
As for working underwater, I don’t think it would be a problem. I’m currently a rescue diver recreationally, and I’ve dived in wrecks, at night, and with poor visibility.
Thanks so much, I hope I’ve explained myself well.
