cheers mate, How are you? Still looking for a job in the bloody financial crisis!!

Same for me, I will be in Scotland end of march for doing my wet welding course..

yes I finnished the construction course about 2 weeks ago. You must have been on the course infront of me. Are you having any luck finding work? I think the dive companies are waiting for the new tax year to kick off properly, thats what the construction companies do!!

Thanks for your comments! Yes it does happen all over. Sad but true.

Just some places it happens more than others.

Hai ,svetozer,I am fine,I am a Dmt Air Diver,now i am searching job,how you are?where are you working?

everithing going good,now i am enjoing with my family,now i am start searching job,but i cant get any one,how your family?howmany days you will get that job?are you working freelance or permanent?

Hi Svetozar. Haven't heard from you in a while mate. How are things for you? Hope you're working. Dive safe.

Finished my medical and in November off to Norway. Course will last 4 months. Hope till then things will have cleared up a bit. All the best mate. Dive safe.

In Scotland I'd have to pay 11000 Euros. Part 1 course in Norway is only 4000Euros since the Norwegian government is co financing the course. Apart from that I have to pay the living costs myself. Course lasts 4 months. I also thought that the course would give me exposure to the Norwegian market which, at least I was told so, is expanding. I was also told that many divers are soon going to retire.

thank you for advise

very goodmorning to you u r my first friend of my c divernet thank u meet again

Hai..svetozer,still i am trying to send my CV somany company ,but stil i did't get any good reply....i want job now so i am trying....this year i done my job june after that i dint get....then how?how many year do you have experince hour industry?

Hi Svetozar. Haven't spoken to you in a long time. How are things? Got work? Have you made it offshore or still inshore?

s***, that sucks. I'm waiting for my course to start in March 2010. What is it with the industry that even people like you with years of experience can't find work?

I had to apply for a residence permit since the course lasts 4 months. I need time to take care of the doc**ents.

I still haven't finished all the paperwork yet. Its a lot of paperwork and I was told that my application can still be refused. I don't know the procedure if you apply for a permit in case of finding a job in Norway. I'm applying as a student and it still proves to a son of b****. Considering work I was told that there's plenty of work if you want to start in the fish farming industry, which of course isn't the best option but I wouldn't care. Anything that can get me experience would be good enough. When it comes down to inland or even offshore I really don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should check out the Norwegian diving group on cdiver and find somebody who you could talk to. There are also people from Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. I don't know man I have been on this site every day following the oil prices and other information. the only thing I have is a huge motivation to start with this line of work, but it's so discouraging to see so many divers out of work.

Well, the problem is that the course lasts 4 months and that's longer than any other course in Europe. I could use my tourist visa if the course lasted 3 months. In that case I would have nothing to worry about but since the course lasts longer I have to apply for a residence permit and that takes a lot of paperwork. Also I forgot to tell you that the guys in the Norwegian group are very hard to reach. I guess they are very busy. Not like the rest of the diving world. Sometimes it takes weeks till somebody replies. And yes I do work, but my friend it has nothing to do with diving. Unfortunately.

I'm a high school teacher. I teach english and german at a high school.

I was supposed to be a military diver but I didn't pass the miliary medical which is extremely strict over here in Croatia. my eyesight was a problem even if I had a slight correction and wasn't even wearing gla****. The eyesight has to be as if you were a damn jet pilot. However after my military time was over I went to college and since I was very good at languages I decided to give it a try but I never forgot about diving and I can tell you one thing. I will do anything it takes to make it happen. I have always wanted to make diving my way of life and I will never forgive myself if I now let the opportunity slip away for a second time.

Svetoza do you have any connections? Anyone who could push you forward or mention your name to a supervisor or manager?

I'm sending you a link to some Norwegian companies you can apply to.
I don't know where you got your list from (maybe longstreath) but I got the link below from a Swedish guy working offshore. let me know if anyone replied.
