Hey all, new to the group and just about to start the journey. 24, from the UK, living in UAE & spent the last 5 years working commercial office jobs because I thought ‘I had to’ to make money, but last few months realised that my time working in industrial construction + teaching rec diving were some of the best times of my life. Figured what better way to make a career than combining my love for being subsea with my love for construction work and move towards commercial diving. I previously worked with a number of commercial diving companies out here in UAE and I’m wondering if a sensible pivot would be to try to find an opportunity with one of them and try to get them to semi-fund my training…? Not sure if anyone has any experience with that going successfully…?

Just wanted to say that I'm grateful for the man himself @Jed Curtis for setting this page up, along with all the contributors, fills me with hope and I am really looking forward to doing the course and getting into the industry. See you on the other side!

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
