I know there must be tons of these posts, but have a few q's for the divers in the industry. I have been diving for about 5 years now, and have been considering being a working diver for a while now. The only thing keeping me back is the job market. I already love diving, and Im thinking going commercial is the only realistic way to make a living doing diving as a career. I am currently a welder (with schooling and tickets) and have been working at that for about 2 years now. The only thing about that is that I want a career where Im doing a different job atleast every couple months, cant stand doing the same thing over and over every year, and Im definately willing to travel the world. Here's the thing, what I've been reading online is that there is job shortages for divers, and dont want to jump into a career where I wont find any work. On the other hand, Ive talked to a local owner of a commerical diving business, and was told by them that there is lots of work available if you're willing to travel. So what's the actual situation with finding jobs?
Thanks!
Thanks!
