CDA puts out at least 60 entry level divers every month. They're one of the reasons jobs are scarce for newbies.

I am taking this course because I actually need both certifications.   The IMCA DMT will compliment my IMCA LST w/UK leg.. and also Norwegian Leg when I sit the exam.  IMCA LST's in UK are required to have had this at one time or…

Right and right but try telling that to some of the brain dead in our ranks. The ADCI and IMCA are only a contractors club,organization,fraternaty or what ever they are calling them selves and cannot and will not dictate certifications.   Hey…

My understanding is that IMCA does NOT even certify DMT's they just recognize DMTs that come out of IMCA approved training facilities.  I have however found a location that trains both IMCA and NBDHMT Dive Medics, however, the testing for…

What's up people.  I went to LTC in 08-09 I seem to remember my instructor saying something about a 10% retention rate in our industry. Let's test that out. If you went to LTC anytime sound off let the world know when and whether you are still in the industry. Also we'd be interested in knowing whether you love or hate our industry.

A D.M.T. by american standards must first be a trained EMT and then seek additional training  to become a DMT.  IMCA dive medic can be obtained in a week and it does not include the same level of training as American DMT's.  Real…See More
