Episode 3 of Beyond the Surface The Truth About Money
Episode 3 of Beyond the Surface 🎙️ "The Truth About Money: What Commercial Divers ACTUALLY Earn" Tired of seeing inflated salary claims and vague day rates online? I break down the REAL numbers: ✅ Actual day rates (Inshore divers to sat divers offshore) ✅ What rotations mean for annual income ✅ Tax reality (HMRC loves divers, no seamans tax here) ✅ Hidden costs nobody warns you about ✅ Why high day rates ≠ wealth After 20+ years in the industry - from air diver to client rep - I'm sharing the financial reality of commercial diving in the UK and North Sea. If you're considering this career or advising someone who is, this episode will save them years of unrealistic expectations.

@Adrian Jagielski standard offshore shift is 12 hours. Entry level is tricky. For new divers, I would usually suggest an inspection course or a DMT. Because then as a new diver, you have something to offer I got started in the Middle East and then once I had some experience, I was able to get a job in the north sea but many guys are lucky and get a start in the north sea there’s a lot of luck and sometimes you just have to be in the right place at the right time.

Subsea Leak Calculator
Geeking out on a Monday morning 🤓 We've just made available a Subsea Leaks Calculator for the Beyond the Surface offshore community. Convert field observations of leaks into quantified flow rates for compliance reporting and risk assessment. Built for subsea engineers, ROV operators, and environmental consultants who need accurate leak rate calculations in the field. The calculator is based on a spreadsheet that's been passed around subsea professionals for years - we've turned it into a free, accessible web tool that works on any device. You can find it in the Free Resources section of the Beyond the Surface community. #SubseaEngineering #OffshoreOilAndGas #ROVOperations #SubseaIntegrity #CommercialDiving #BeyondTheSurface

Nuke Diving
Hi, a French woman was recently certified as a nuclear diver. I know that there is (or was) Kyra.R in the United States as well, but I’m wondering how many other women around the world are doing this type of diving. Do you have any idea? (photo F.H)
