Good day guys!

I am new to the forum. Need some info in joining the commercial diving industry.

Currently a PADI Instructor and wish to switch to commercial diving.

Can anyone give detail regarding the matter? Where to do the course, the cost, time, prerequisites where to do a medical check up and so on....

I have browse through a few websites and found one - Descend Underwater Training Centre, Australia. Any other suggestions?

It would be much appreciated for the info. Thanks.

How much is the course fee bro?

I usualy fly from KL-Melbourne (MAS) & Melbourne-Launcheston (Virgin Blue) ... buy early is cheaper.

You can ask our very own Mr. Adik ... for flight quote as he have a travel agency.

As for getting your money back ... hmmmmm for sure U will, first job is always the hardest .... rates are good now.

;D

dive_addict · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2007, 01:57:41 PM »

Good day,

The fee AUS 14,999.00 - might increased for 2008. Not sure how much though. The TT exchange rates are a killer! :o

I just paid the deposit for confirmation.

Thanks for the travel advice. I might wait for the MATA fair to get the super deal fares! ;D

If they increase the Course Fee.... you still be paying for the old price.

MATA fare wont be able to do 3 month tix ..... when i bought mine, is 1 month or 1 year open tix... still expensive.

ironore · « **Reply #20 on:** June 26, 2007, 11:16:00 PM »

bro.. since you have confirmed your placing with TUCT early next year, maybe for the time being you can approach several companies and get an attachment with them as sort of a trainee tender for their Sat team.

just and idea since u still have several months to burn...

dive_addict · « **Reply #21 on:** June 27, 2007, 03:23:32 PM »

thanks bro,

been looking around but do u have any suggestion. not sure which company to look for.

SeaDemon · « **Reply #22 on:** June 27, 2007, 03:48:54 PM »

You can try Alam Maritim or Allied Marine. I'm thinking of going IDESS. ;D

ironore · « **Reply #23 on:** June 27, 2007, 04:29:58 PM »

Yup.. call and talk to them and try to arrange for a face to face appointment..

this side of Malaysia as what SD said plus Offshoreworks 8-), SapuraCrest 8-)...

alot more in Singapore.

SD don't think anymore.. Give Julie or Rose a buzz they will be happy to assist. *poison*

SeaDemon · « **Reply #24 on:** June 27, 2007, 05:28:22 PM »
