Beginning the grind
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…?

@Christopher Eckert solid advice - appreciate it. Yeah I suppose getting the certs in advance would mean I’d be in a better place to throw myself straight into getting work and paying it back rather than the pace I train being dictated by the company paying for it I guess. Appreciate the advice - solid 💪🏼
