Dude, Young Mem is the school to go to. The others give afew more certs for what you are paying them, but there is a good chance that by the time you can use those certs, you will have had to update them a couple of times and the company that you work for will pay for that instead of out of your own pocket. Just go to youngs mem, and see about getting a HazWoper on the side(youngs doesn't do that, but might need it thanks to BP)

Follow your dream!! At 43 it is not too late - just a little harder beating the perceptions that prevail that younger is better (they are only a little cheaper hehehe). Your brain is your biggest asset and the more mature of us have a lot of experiences stored in our brains which are valuble to diving, even if it is not necessarily dive related your life experiences and work ethic are what will work in your favour. Your brain is what will make you a safe diver that people will want…

I am encouraged by many of the comments in this discussion about older divers starting out and it keeps my hopes going for a dive job.
