Kalau lu berlakon iklan condom kat dalam air pun kira commercial diver gak...do commercials

Betul tu kata SeaDemon, as long as U get paid u r a commercial diver.

I will try to provide more information on Commercial Diving & jobs surrounding it soon.

Thinking of providing information from the very beginning.... how to start.

If Mr. BigJoe74 can find sometime to provide some information, please do so ...... he been in the industry for a long time.

 ;D

In general.. 2 types of Commercial Diver

1. Air Diver
- Surface Supply Limit up to 50m on air
- Helium/Oxygen are use at times

2. Saturation Diver
- 50m below & on Helium/Oxygen


Need to start as Air Diver first ..... then take another course to become Saturation Diver.

Both have Chamber, Air Diver use the chamber for treatment & Saturation diver use chamber as Living Enviroment.

Air Diver work mostly at mid water, Sat Diver work at bottom.

Air Diver have time restriction, deeper you go...less time you have on the job so you need to work fast.

Sat diver have more time ... 8-12hrs each bell run, 4-6 hours work time for Sat diver.

Will add more from time to time, this is just a general information... if you have any question, feel free to ask.

 ;D

So Air Diver ni adik-beradik Extended Range diver la..bin/binti aje lain :-?

Something like dat la .... heheheheheheheheheee

 ;D

nak amik course camtuh nak kena amik kat ne?..nak jadi air diver or saturation?..rase cam dah malas la idup asik atas darat je...

commercial diver ni not necessarily works offshore kan.. but if wanna work offshore camne nak start..

i got myself enroll buat Tropical Water Basic Offshore Safety Induction Emergency Training (T-Bosiet) kat CONSIST Ulu Klang tu.. best jugak course kat situ n got me expose to offshore working life.. but nak tau jugak further detail..

Ironore, how much did it cost you to attend the course?

Ironore,

What job you plan to do offhsore?

I am working Offshore in India doing subsea construction now, so late reply.

i think should we start a columm of helping ppl to get job as commercial divers. I am interested in the 50m diver.. bley tengok ship wreck..... and earn some money.. wif info please indicate yeah.. looking for extra cash now...

SD. is it true that tech divers get all the rush from preparing from a dive... I mean they spend hours preparing for a short (how long is your bottom time at 50M??) excursion into the water...

What is the fun in all that?? :-?

How long? It depends on your SAC rate. If it's about 15 liters/min then the twin tanks should last you 48 minutes. However, since you have to do gas management planning plus having to spare your air for your buddy as well, then probably about 24-25 minutes tops before you start your deco stops.

What is the fun in all that? It gives you the rush...checking your equipment because your life and that of your buddy depends on YOUR equipment. You get to see wrecks of battleships and other warships that look as if time had stopped. You can imagine the crew running here and there doing damage control and at the same time being blown to bits by the bombs the Japanese aircraft drop. You can see the huge torpedo holes on the Repulse and know how it looked like as it steamed at 14 knots as it disappeared beneath the waves.

Then you start your way back to the ascent line and commence your deco stops according to your run times. Curious whale shark stop by to check you out....followed by a school of 2m Cobias...and then schools of Batfish. You reach 21m you switch to your EAN50...at 6m you switch to 100% O2 and you watch your depth...at 3m you're on the deco station breathing surface-supplied oxygen. Cool stuff.

Topside, as you relax while still breathing O2, you have a look at your camera playback, you see 15-inch guns, you see anti-aircraft guns, you see the lifeboats, you see the gigantic propellers, rudders, torpedo holes..and you smile to yourself saying, "Hah! I'm sick of looking at Nemos." ;D ;D ;D

Now I am drooling........

yeah i know tat.. when doin commercial u wont see anything. technical diver.. i think it cost a lot rite the course and equipment.

my fren told me once tat her abang is part time commercial diver at kuantan. so just 1 2 find out more info. looks like earning quite good but of course in return... ur life.... as always need to go to chamber... once u kena chamber.... u will have risk in getting DCS easily....

If you do commercial diving, it'll cost you about RM80-90K. But of course you can recover that in one or to jobs. Tech diving, on average it costs you RM2K per course...starting from basic such as deco procedures, to deep air, trimix I, trimix II and trimix III.

If you decide to become an inshore commercial diver not working for anyone, you have to invest a lot in equipment. For example, one run of diver umbilical costs around RM35-40K. You will need 4 runs. Diver to diver to surface com system will set you back around RM80K. Then you have your LP and HP compressors, your portable chamber (about RM250K). A lot of investment. of course, the cheaper method is to work for others.

Tech diving, you mainly do it for fun...or you can make money from it by doing simple things like search and recovery. However, you must love diving...even if it means at Pulau Besar, PD or Port Klang.

Like I've been saying, there is no such thing as a bad dive site, there are only bad divers.

tech diving.. where can i learn it... u got tech diver license? i am also interested in Tech... any advise... i been like frog bawah tempurung.... just release out... so curious.. and i dont have much diver kaki or sifu's... so i need some guru here... but the tech lesen very expensive...

Hehe..go do your medical first with a Hyperbaric medicine doctor...

Aloha,

Visited www.underwaterctr.com.au and wrote an email to them. But no reply. Need the course info, Can help, Snafu?

Thanks :-?

1. You need to decide if you [highlight]REALLY[/highlight] want to be commercial diver

2. Booked for the course earliest date

3. Make sure you have Medic First Aid & O2 provider (DAN be good) ... before U go there

4. Better master the DM manual & Instructor Manual
- Be good with Decompression table ... US Navy, RN & DCIEM Table.... DM's & Instructors fail big time here
- Very good with diving EQUIPMENT, [highlight]Pratical side of it ... most DMs & Instructors fail big time here[/highlight].

5. Have basic knots skill
- Bowline ...reefknots...splice....back splice... eye splice.... etc

6. Do PULHEEMs/SPUMS FIT TO DIVE check .... HAT in Lumut
- They might have called it Institute Of Hyperbaric Medicine ...now  
- You can check with DIVEDOC ..... he is a moderator for MUW

7. Do BOSIET (opito approve) would be great...cost more but good la
- No budget just do BOSIET at MAS building .... SeaQ

The money is OFFSHORE ..... to work offshore you would need ADAS Pt.1, Pt.2 & Pt. 3
Course Duration 3 month.
