Hello, the scallops are mostly from Hitra and Frøya, the company i know about is Seashell, just do a search on the net with the locations, good luck :)

At 5:56am on November 16, 2009, Dan Simion said…: Hi again, in norway we dive mostly in dry suits, because of the cold water, at most companies they have the equipment u need, its anyway ok to have your own drysuit, as for the scallops company u have to have your own scuba gear.
The only wetsuit is the hot water suit used in offshore diving.

Do you dive in a dry suit or a wet suit? Sorry to bother you with all the question I'm just curious as to how things are in this branch of diving.

At 10:58am on November 15, 2009, Dan Simion said…: For a new diver its about 200-250kr/hour, its not easy for a foreigner to find work, in norway u should be able to speak norwegian, most of the supervisors are old and dont speak other languages, some friends of mine work with picking scallops, but then again this is not for permanent basis. Just focus on finishing the school and get the certificates, make some friends and have a lot of patience, then suddenly an opportunity will come to u, but dont depend on a job the day u finnish, then u will be dissapointed.

At 10:46am on November 15, 2009, Erik Golub said…: Thank you for the reply Dan. How's the work at the farm? I heard that the payment is around 300 NOK/hour? Is that true? Also I'd like to know if it's possible for foreigners after finishing the course at NYD to get work at a fish farm or can only norwegians apply to such a company?

At 4:21am on November 15, 2009, Dan Simion said…: Hi Erik, yes i have been living in Norway for 20 years, the course was very good, i found work but only in fishfarms, i want to find something more challenging like construction etc. I am sure something will pop up, u just have to be patient and ready to work, best of luck to u.

At 1:04am on November 15, 2009, Erik Golub said…: Hi Dan. I see you went to NYD. Are you from Norway? Anyway I wanted to ask how you liked the course and if you were able to find work anywhere after the course. Stay safe.
