Commercial Diving education/career
I am interested in pursuing a career in commercial/scientific diving. I have always enjoyed fast paced, labor intensive work and I also enjoy recreational diving. Spending my summers in highschool working for a construction company building foundations and working for a precast concrete company has developed a strong work ethic. Jobs that present challenges from day to day and that demand quick thinking has always appealed to me. Commercial diving seems like a career I would persevere in.
Three years ago I was enrolled in the Commercial Diving Academy but was unable to attend because of an unfortunate accident at work. I was working for Binghamton Precast and Supply when a four ton sound barrier crushed my left hand (luckily not my dominant hand). My left ring finger had to be amputated at the second knuckle and I am expecting another surgery to help improve my range of motion. I do not expect this to have an effect my ability to perform as a commercial diver. Do you think that my injury will hinder my ability to work as a commercial diver? I decided to use my recovery time to go to school; though I have returned to work at Binghamton Precast and Supply, part time, doing the same hands-on jobs. I have completed my A.A.S. in Civil Engineering Technology at Broome Community College and was wondering about further schooling. First, I am planning to attend Stony Brook University and complete my bachelors degree in civil engineering and a bachelors in marine science. After completeing college I plan to go to the Commercial Diving Academy in Jacksonville, Florida. Do you think civil engineering and marine science are the best degrees to pursue in relation to commercial/scientific diving?
