I would stick with coastal engineering right now there is not much work out there right now. Dive school is too much money for no return. The first thing is you won't be a diver for years, you have to be a tender first and then break out as a diver. It is hard work like right up there with digging ditches and being dirty all day long. A lot of people want to be divers because they think it is cool to be a diver well that is a bad way to look at diving because the last thing your going to think when you are off shore is that your cool. It's nothing like scuba diving so do not put the two together.

I'd agree with Barone on most of what he's said. In Europe the course is going to cost you up to £10,000 with no guarantee of getting any work after you finish. The good side of being in Europe though is you don't have to stand around tending for years, you can go straight to work as a diver.

 

And it is nothing like recreational scuba diving.

Hey again

To be honest i would really like to do some of the work as an consultant or a supervision in diving associated engineering jobs.I will try to get in touch with Halcrow's, Sir Alexander Gibbs etc to find out with them if there is any need for a diver and an engineer in one

and I know that cdiving is not recreational diving,but a very hard and dangerous job,but still I want to know all about it.I would appreciate if you could give me some more names who are doing consulting type of work,and please ignore me if I'm boring :)

tnx
