wolf eel:Thanks for your reply but I was more looking at the occupationial course I know all about the commercial end of diving I was com diver for many years. But the farm diver has changed and WCB has got there very nasty talins into it and I think ucked it all up.
Funny how not one farmer has responded.
dilligaf368:I've been a commercial CONSTRUCTION diver for 32yrs. I've made great money and Union too!
In the Pacific Northwest, commercial diving and SCUBA diving are not the same thing. Diving in construction is just that, Construction, but Underwater. Most of the work in on the surface. Few get work all Year 'round. I get an average of 800-900 hrs a year underwater. I work all year 'round but, to round the year out I do Piledriving the other hours.

You posted as I was typing.
Anyhow I know all that all I am asking is do you feel it was worth your time or should it be scraped. I agree about the union also. Its near impossible for young guys to get any form of work. Thats part and parcel to the course it seems like loads of cash with out any real return.
