well i have to admit dusty did give me my first lead that led to the first of 3 companies i currently work for. if you go get your DMT if you want to go off shore you get a job fairly easy inland dose not give a s*** if your a DMT. and if you push hard enough you can get a job but if you don't show they will just starve you out on shop pay. most got a job but most didn't make it.

Why didn't they make it? Is it because it’s just too hard or is it that it just doesn’t pay enough the first two or three years to cover the lawn payments that you have to start paying on after school?

FIRST THING FIRST Being a "Master SCUBA DIVER" Dosent mean s*** when it comes to the commercial side of things.And DOES NOT QUALIFY You to work as a COMMERCIAL DIVER !!!!!!
All Inland and Offshore companies that are reptuable are going to insure you are properly trained by an accredited school before hiring you.(PADI NAUI YMCA are NOT!!) If your serius about going to a school for diving go to Young memoral in Morgan city La its cheep teaches what you need to start That way in a year from now when you are working at Burger King you wount be out $22000

hey chuck never said it qualifies you to be a commercial diver, it just comes in handy being able to get a job from a dive shop on the off season. god this is why i hate going on these diver Forums you make one comment and every roided bubble blower wants to jump on you.

Well Cody lets just say after 25 plus years in the dive industry anytime I hear or read the word SCUBA and commercial diving in the same paragragh or conversation it makes my neck hairs stand up. But the way you implied it was that it got you work as a commercial diver therefore I jumped on it. I apoligize if it hurt your feelings I also cant figure out how Capt Black is getting away with a $26000 "Instuctor course" for lack of better words as you can do both PADI and NAUI for under 2 grand! and you can get your ADCE/I cert for around $6000 at Youngs Memoral in Morgan City. Please dont take it wrong it Im not saying that being a SCUBA instucter is a bad thing as Ive been teaching for 20 years Im just clarifing to the kid that it is totaly seperate from commercial diving

Ya i know what ya mean whenever i have to explain what i do, someone says there scuba certified and think its the same thing. and it might be a bit of me being sore i payed so much for CDA.
