Hello all!
I am new to the group as well as scubaboard. I currently live in Colorado, just graduated from CU in Boulder and then went to get my EMT-B cert. I am a dive master and have been volunteering with a rescue group here in Colorado which is great for training in water rescue and dive rescue. I fell in love with the rescue aspect of diving and now want to make a career out of it;hence the EMT cert. However, I feel I may be in the wrong location for this. Many Firefighting departments have dive teams which is great I would love to do that; unfortunately they say the same thing, that they only adage a few actual dive rescue calls a year :depressed: So instead of finding some other career I am very persistent and determined to make diving a career for me. I'm even willing to move if that may help my chances.
Now, for the reason of this post, I am looking for any and all advice, tips, help on what I should do to help boost my chances of becoming a career rescue diver. Please respond with any advice, tips or ideas. Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

, you would have had a much better education had you graduated from Colorado State Univeristy...trust me I know.
I graduated from CSU and my daughter graduated from CU and we both know that CSU rules.:chairfight: But the good thing about life there is time to make ammends. :banana:
