Hay man,good video, i now own my own company and started @diverdixon and have afew questions about starting a channel...do you have a sec?

Is this place still open? Or do you know who owns the property or which shop has access to allow dives? I can’t find anything on it since 2021 Thanks in advance!

um

He's already experiencing not enough work. I was in the commercial diving industry for 10 years both offshore and Inland and you will starve to death. You'd have to be making $100 an hour to compensate for all the time that you're not at work. You're going to be lucky to be making $20 an hour starting out even today is inflation rates. Basically, this job is unstable and you will wind up homeless if you do not get away from it

What are you doing now

For anyone wondering about alternative paths, I enlisted in the army as a 12d, ADCI, DCBC, and IMCA recognized my military diploma and dive logs and issued certifications. Unlike navy divers we put our hats on ourselves, but people in the industry will still give you shit for it. I’m convinced the ADCI and commercial diving education complex have a racket and are colluding through their pricing and the ADVI requiring attendance at them, and it’s unfortunate there is only one or two publicly funded programs in the country. The ADCI seemed kind of annoyed I went through the process to get them to issue my certs instead of wasting my GI bill to go to a diver mill. DCBC and IMCA actually issues my certifications faster and with less issues than ADCI did. Besides that, for new divers, you play a very important roll in helping fight the rampant wage stagnation that’s plaguing this industry. Ask for more money. Tell your senior divers how much you make when you get it. $30/hr was amazing money in the 70s and 80s, problem is it’s still $30 on average and the 90s, 00s, 10s, and so on have come and gone. If they can’t hire new talent at the pisspoor rates they are offering they will raise them.

TH-cam advice; monotone voice makes the video hard to make it through the first 2 minutes let alone 15. Just some constructive criticism. Brighten it up a bit. Sound excited to talk to your audience. Sound excited about your experiences and the information you’re relaying.

Lol. Listen go hang onto a blast hose/ spray. Easy to get into union. Every single job ive ever been on is hiring. Been doing it for 30 years.Bridges and steel. Tanks, Dams, Water treatment facilities, marine, ect. DO NOT WORK NON UNION unless you are hispanic then look at the money to be made doing bridges.Also be smart work for contractors Mid West, certain North East and Northern West coast and Hawaii, Alaska.

CDA was a scam turns out. This guy would have been a year or a year and a half before the scandal unfolded. Hopefully he got his money back.

Did you go to this school knowing they had a history of student deaths?

Falling asleep is not loosing conciousness.

Are you still diving for work? Would you still recommend the trade to people

Are you still diving for work? Would you still recommend the trade to people

You take a liberal 2 minute video and make it over 15....

Got any new updates?

OK, respectfuly and firstly, where is the divers bail out function test, non return valve check and the pillar to first stage leak check? Secondly, why is the diver not varifying every thing for him self? Note well, this is not a bell dive. It can not even be called a bell bounce dive.

He was narced

Bro for 30k of of non dischargeable debt for only 17 hours and less then 500$ dude that’s 🐂💩 seem to me bro like you got 👉🏻👌🏻 and hard

Сколько ты оплатил за обучение в школе?

Not worth it bro. Get your cdls

I just can’t get into these videos. Drink an Energy drink or something. Sounds like the guy from the Visine red eyes Commercials from the 90s lol

How hard is the physics I suck at math

Hey that’s me lol

did you use your GI bill for this?

Seems like the tenders were very inexperienced

Loved this series man, hopefully gonna be going to CDA Tech here soon all thanks to you and your journey!

You gonna make anymore videos?

Why did you guys go down there ?

Do you get breaks during training?

Ouch how do you make a living as a diver? You’ve either got to be very lucky or connected

Trying center number

Damn that’s real irresponsible

Which knots do you need to learn to do? I want to practice the knots

Those new Kirby Morgan’s are so sexy.

Have you thought about ever doing sat diving?

So besides diving school what other certifications/schools did you do ? Does this really count as commercial diving paychecks since you said it’s mostly scuba

For those tuning in...watch at 1.5x speed.

You need to change your saw. In 1992 I built and tested a system of underwater wood pile cutting 16 X 16 inch greenheart just above bed level. My first attempt I did 42 piles in 5 hours. Less that 1 minute to cut each and the bulk of the 5hours was taken up by craning them out as cut.. At that time most people couldn't guarantee cutting 2 per 8 hour day.

With the chief instructor providing you with a number, how the heck did you end up with the 1099 job?

1099 is alot more than just being your own tax man, it means that they don't have to pay workers compensation. If you have a diving accident you are on your own. Keep looking for a real company.

Wish I was still young for your profession... 52 now

No more GI Bill VA funding, ADCI suspended. What a fucking joke of a place.

Alex Kral Diving I would have liked to asked this in private but this is the only way and I am not stirring the pot....just my observation i want to understand how the commercial side works....he goes unconscious and you need to do a chest rub to wake him....and the op continues....if this is normal procedure understand...BUT how could you and topside (Dive SUP) be confident he is alert and oriented to continue especially when you stated in the vid you felt narc'd.....

Sent you. DM on scubaboard. (How I found your channel)

please..please make an update, i really hope your alive man..this was one of the few channels that i was really hoping for updates..i hope your alive and thriving.

Prevailing wage jobs are 12 hours a day even if you dive for 20 minutes that way you won't get paid $42.50 to rig up a sunken anchor at a 100'.

To any new divers or students - none of this shit means anything really. Your school begins the moment you step foot on a crew boat in the Gulf or West Coast. You will be wearing a red hat telling everyone above you what you are, a fucking worm, the FNG that they will attempt with a 99% futile rate mold into some kind of hand then maybe by some miracle you might dive. Forget the welding to, that's the biggest rip off I have ever heard of.

Was the school hard

They use bigger air bottles because of safety check Last breathe movie

Please oooh... Am interested in this diving training, can u giv me updated abt the training?
