Going Offshore
I am looking at going offshore for the 1st time and I was wondering what to expect and which companies are better to work for. Any info would be helpful

I have heard good things about UCC. I believe it was US Underwater Services (?) that came up north here to offer some OPEX on nuke diving.
What Edward Southworth and Marty Jones said is spot on. Not sure what its like in the US, but we have Zebra…

If you find a company starting you out at at least 15 ph as a tender (I don't know how much water time you have logged.) that pays travel, and has insurance. Take it and learn from the divers around you. Dont "cut-throat" other…

I learned on and bought a KM 27, I like it better than any others I have dove

Don't bother. They don't really do much welding, and you won't be diving there for a good year or two anyway. haha.
Wet welder cert
I am thinking of going down to the Commercial Diving Academy an getting my wet welder cert. Is it worth it or should I just not bother dropping the cash right now for it and just go down to the GOM with my topside welder certs?

EMT, DMT and HCT certs on rigs
I graduated from DAI a few months back and had to take a few months off from working due to a knee injury. I am looking to head off shore at the end of March. While I am in recovery I am planning on getting my EMT-B cert. Is it worth also getting my DMT and HCT cert? I heard that getting my HCT cert would screw me over and pretty much just make me a inside chamber tender and I won't get to do any diving at all.Can someone please give me some advice on what is right and wrong about all this.See More

Richard Wisneski replied to Nigel Bryant's discussion 'Think about it Please'
The way I look at it is we are all on here cause we are divers of one sort or the other. And the only thing I have ever asked for or heard on the forms is for leads to jobs, who is good to work for and who is not. But to those who have asked…

I for one would like to know from someone 1st hand what would happen, but I think you should just not take that chance. Just think of this "Your life or your coke. Your choice"
Richard Wisneski replied to Ace Parnell's discussion 'Underwater welders $250 a hour'
I am figuring that I might have to save up some cash and head down there. Seems to b the only way I will make any cash, that or to head up to Alaska
Richard Wisneski replied to Ace Parnell's discussion 'Underwater welders $250 a hour'
It makes perfect sense to me. I was told that out of school I would be in the water making 100k a year. I have been out for a month and haven't found anything in the Philly PA area. I am back to topside welding and pouring concrete till I find…
Richard Wisneski replied to Heysen Dennis's discussion 'Tips for new divers'
Any ideas on how to get your foot in the door with an inland company? I have been out of school for a month now and only had one job that lasted 2 weeks for a shit company that I knew I had to quite or get really hurt with the shit that company was…
