How Long Is The Career Of A Commercial Diver?

We get asked this question a lot! Most people think that a career of commercial diver or underwater welder is a short term career choice. We talk to Patrick Jeffries a lifetime commercial diver that works with the Oceaneering Corporation. He started a career as a diver and now works in a specialized field in the offshore oil and gas industry. He stopped by CDA Technical Institute to interview our divers for their new careers as offshore divers and agreed to answer a few of our questions about the commercial diving industry. How long do commercial divers live and how long is the career of a commercial diver are two of the most commonly asked questions on our social media accounts so we asked him his thoughts on what the lifespan of a commercial diver is, and what the career path of a commercial diver looks like.
This video gives you an honest look at the commercial diving industry from a man who has been around the world during his commercial diving career.

Special thanks to Patrick Jeffries and Oceaneering Corporation for helping us make these awesome videos about commercial diving careers!
