...not in the UK, dude...surface welding is a different career path that you have to be serious about, full-time, to make anything much over minimum wage. If you want to be a diver in the UK, keep looking for work, and learning while you're there. If you want to be a welder, you should have thought of that before you spent £10k+!<br />
...and put some of your money aside for the rainy days, cos there's a feckin load of them in diving, especially when you start out!

If I was you I would learn how to weld top side and underwater get both CV's so if there is no work underwater you can fall back on welding top side plus you make more money if you are a good top side welder any were from 30-60 an hour and there is always welding needed to be done all the time and any session.

Just need to keep trucking though.</p>

Well I went to visit TUC on Wednesday an had a chat with one of the guys and got a tour of the place and it looks pretty awesome and I think I'm just gonna stick with my original decision and do the course with TUC. It's all the same qualification wherever I go and I found out that I can buy equipment through TUC at a discount price as one of the guys just got a brand new dry suit for £350 so now it's just a case of working my ass off and getting qualified.

Hi Jerry<br />
<br />
Every school in the UK offers the same "quality" education. As long as you complete the same course requirements, follow the same standards and pay upfront you get a ticket. So if the quality is the same, why not compare the quantity.

Looks like a grab bag set up to me. Education is about the learning lil bro, not the extras (junk you should already have in your bag or can pick up at a used clothing store.<br />
Look at the quality of the education, nothing else. Just cause theres flashing lights and nude girls on the door, doesnt mean your gonna enjoy the view once you go thru the door.<br />
Stick with what you already committed to. YOu wont regret the choice later....
