Chopping suits
Hey divers Time for a new wetty jacket and all the good ones here in Aus have hoods on them. Last few I’ve just chopped them with scissors, but wondering if there are any tricks for a neater seam/cut eg hot knife?? Or neoprene tape etc… what do you guys do?

Intro
Hello all, Career changer here. Have done a little bit of everything from carpentry, composites, marina work, military service and most recently IT. I’ve realized office work isn’t for me and this trade has interested me for a long time so I enrolled at Santa Barbara’s MDT program and will be starting this fall. Interested in growing my network as I get through training and learning whatever I can from this group. Thanks!

Global Network for Commercial Divers
I never thought this page would take off like this, our network is growing every day. I just had a look at the MAP tab and it's quite impressive to see that we come from nearly every corner of the globe. My challenge for you: Zoom in to your region and send a message to all crew in your area to touch base. Maybe you can help each other out, maybe you just catch up for a beer/coffee. You never know who you might meet and how that connection might change your career path in the future. It was because of networking that I managed to get a start offshore, back in the day we didn't have tools like this so make the most of it. Jobs don't fallout of the sky near you unless you put yourself in a position to catch them.

Track your tickets
Hey divers, I’m coming up to my dreaded time of year where i gotta do yearly medical and first aid certs, but of course it’s landed in the timeframe where I’ve come off one project and haven’t started the next so can’t get employer to pay 😭 Anyways, I got sick of going through my folders to check each cert expiry individually and I made my own tool to track it. It’s on IOS only right now but thought I’d share in case y’all would find this helpful. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/certitracker/id6752984516

Introduction
Hi everyone, I'm Josh a ADAS pt3 (IMCA SSBA 50m) Air diver working onshore in Australia. Glad to join the community here this is a great idea - thanks Jed! I'm looking to get my first swing offshore, i'll go anywhere and do anything - I've got 3 passports i'm trying to take full advantage of haha! Last year i did both BOSIET & DMT with this goal in mind and am doing more rigging tickets here in Aus to continue adding to my list which includes STCW, LF, DG, current medical, first aid/CPR/O2, confined space/work at heights and CO (chamber endorsement). Looking forwards to connecting with divers around the world! Josh.

@Lucas Michel molina For sure, i getcha. We can trade I'm chasing my first offshore and don't care about the pay to get the experience haha! All the offshore is in WA (western australia) but i don't think theres much right now. On the east coast, so Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane (the main cities) all have heaps of inshore companies but rates are a bit varied. For working during the day and being home each night you'll be able to get that with pretty much all inshore companies, some do away work and you can mostly choose if you do or don't want to do it. Thats for construction stuff, we also have a pretty big fish industry and there's work in South Australia on tuna tows/fish farms and Tasmania also has heaps of fish farms - but I wouldn't recommend it for you (just letting you know) In terms of peculiarities, I can't really say because I don't know that much different, but there are a lot of smaller companies that will do some cowboy things and cut corners, as well as big companies who have great vessels and equipment and follow offshore standard. Hope this helps, send me a message if you want any more info :)
