Hi Guys,

Have just stumbled upon this site, this minute. It is interesting to see the bubble-blowers sitting quiet?

I've been doing ROV since 2002 and it is always up and down. In fact more down than up. I've only worked 11 weeks in about 14 months and I'm thinking about getting back into diving but first have to move the family as we lost the house etc.

So, it seems no work in ROV or Diving? Perhaps Politics?

Chin-up and I hope it gets busy soon.

Hi all, I'm new - a diver in training.  Currently a student at Diving Dynamics in Kelowna, BC, Canada.  We've been assigned the task of researching what companies are doing what, and who's hiring who.  I've been searching every commercial diving site I can find, and so far haven't come up with much...

Scott this is a tough profession and traveling all over hell and back is not for the weak in spirit (not saying you are). Maybe I can share a few words that will help you out here. When I have had simular thoughts I just have to ask myself "Ace do you want to be a diver or some kind of a housekeeper" My answer is "Diver" with that then my task is to take my balls back out of my wifes purse and place them back where they were intended to be hanging and go get a job diving some where ever in the World a seemling good job comes appears. I hope this helps you refocus. Good luck Scott.

Aw ! To dive or not to dive thats the question. I love being a lifetime career diver!
