I am interested in possibly going to a commercial diving school sometime next year. I have seen advertisements for schools such as CDA, OceanCorp, divers institute, etc. but recently a commercial diver told me to go to a smaller school such as SCL Tech (Young Memorial) because it is much cheaper and companies will train you their way anyway so spending almost $20K for a big time school is a waste of time and money.
Basically, I need some advice...is there a particular school that I should look at? I am currently a Rescue Diver with PADI (been diving since I was 10 years old) working up to divemaster, work full-time in sales/service at a local dive shop and have a B.S. in Marine Biology from SFSU. I would love to use my degree in conjunction with a commercial diving cert. Is there a program that I should pursue that would benefit my bachelors degree? Should I go to a dive school if I am interested in working for the DFG or other environmental agencies?
Any advice will help...trying to start a career that includes my interests is not the easiest thing to do!!
