another question is that... after doing all these courses, is there a guarantee that u'll see be getting an off-shore job? or like any other thing... eg, a fresh-grad from uni might be jobless on the dry land (hard to look for job)

and do we need to do ER.. trimix... first then go down to the commersial courses? or we can just go from OW direcly.. 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.

This is the website[highlight] www.underwaterctr.com.au[/highlight]

 ;D

oh.. kekeke.. guess i opened the windows tooo early
thanks for highlighting...

like one of the post by ironore... he did the bosiet for about 2k only... compared to what u mentioned earlier.. about 80-90k?

and do i need to be an dm & instructor to go bosiet? ... or just reading their book?

thanks

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........

I am so jealous coz I am imagining all that in my head >
