Learn practical offshore career skills with Stu Sutcliffe and the Beyond the Surface community. Join, try it out, cancel anytime.
I built Beyond the Surface to be the offshore career resource I wish existed when I started.
After my commercial diving career was cut short by an accident, I transitioned into offshore work as a Client Representative across diving, ROV, inspection, and survey projects. I now share real-world knowledge to help others break into offshore work and build long-term, resilient careers.
Beyond the Surface is a practical community for people who want clarity, context, and straight answers—from someone who’s been offshore, made mistakes, and adapted.
This community is for:
- People breaking into offshore careers (diving, ROV, rope access, NDT, inspection, HSE)
- Professionals who learn best from real experience, not theory
- Offshore workers looking to future-proof their careers as the industry changes
