Introduction
Hello everyone, i have no clue how to start so i will just lay it down. I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering, University in Belgrade, and am expecting to finish my bachelor’s degree this time next year, however i have realized that i would much rather enjoy a different type of career. My plan was to start with diving courses this October and learning as much as i can about commercial diving starting now. However i have no clue where to start and if such courses are even available in my country, i was looking forward to getting some insight from people that are already in the industry about my starting point

@Nikola Kojovic Hey Nik, cool that you're thinking about getting into commercial diving. With your background, I would suggest looking into Mechanical Dive Technician to supplement the diving. A bit of a force multiplier to help you along the way. They tie in well together and give you a very well rounded exposure into the industry. Have you checked out the E-book in our Classrooms tab? There's a bit of industry information thats based on experience to give you a better understanding about what to expect before you sign up for training.

@Louis Landu Where abouts are you working at the moment?
Greetings from Belgium
Getting in the game a bit later as a 35 year old. Been diving for since 2020 and got my divemaster, left my job back than to pursue a carreer in the military as a clearance diver. Until last april I was in training, completed everything except for the last part of closed circuit rebreathing. This because my wife had a big opportunity in Spain that forced us to move on short notice and forced me to cut my training short just before the end. (This because I otherwise would have a ROI-period that would prohibit me from leaving the Navy) Got basic 4 week hands on training with the kirby morgan together with some welding/burning/working underwater. Now I still really love my job but a military certificate is not valid in the civilian world so will follow the course in Barcelona in Spanish. Which will most likely be a lot of reviewing but still it is in Spanish so I’m currently fully invested in mastering the language. Found this board through the school Oceanos-EBP I’m applying and thought it would be a good investment to get into the commercial world. Hope to learn a lot and widen my views on the trade. Hoping to work in the shipping business because that is what I know. But open to all the options that are available. As a Belgian I speak a lot of languages (Dutch/French/German/and working on Spanish) and hope to use that to my advantage.
