Hello Jerry. Thank you for being the first perosn on here that actually didnt laugh at my question. As i replied to Mike Woods. I thought about doing to Medic course after the commercial diving course. Also i do have 14 years of Military Service. but its the 20,000 dollars i'm concerned about. i hate to get into that much debt and not be able to get a job.

Carmen, I applaude your earnest desire. If you intend on becoming self employed then go for it, If you just want to prove you can do it then go for it.

<p>No. You're too old. It's a young's man game. Those of us over 40 are supervising now. I still get wet when the puppies can't get it done, but it takes a bit longer to snap back. If you still want to go through with it all, then get a full blown diving physical. You can down load a copy from the ADCI website. It's gonna cost you several hundred dollars, but if you have a underlying condition you may not pass the pre-employment physical. </p>

<p>IF! you get a job offshore in the GOM. You will be taking orders from a 21 year old punk LT. Can you handle that!? I could go on and on but it's time to hit the rack.</p>

Very accurate and you will really need a strong trade skill. Good luck not impossiable but difficult to say the least.
