  • Answer:

    If you haven't done it already, Google might help you here. I Googled 'commercial diver training UK' and got page-1 hits on the following websites: http://www.theunderwatercentre.co.uk http://www.interdive.co.uk http://www.professionaldivingacademy.com http://www.puffin.org.uk http://www.diving-serv.co.uk These are all schools offering 'commercial diver training'--for very large up-front fees. I also found this discussion thread, which has a lot of input from people who've already gone through the system: http://www.ukdiving.co.uk/forums/topic.php?t_id=577 Bear in mind that learning to be a commercial diver (i.e. learning how to safely operate a commercial diving equipment setup) is only a minor part of what commercial diving entails. What's more important is the jobskills you can actually offer as a diver, e.g. underwater construction, welding, repair, inspection etc. Those courses cost extra, and they aren't cheap either. And even if you can afford to pay for the extra courses, that's still no guarantee of employment afterwards. The schools are training centres, not employment agencies--finding a job after you qualify will be up to you. I also Googled 'commercial diving contractors UK' and got a whole swathe of hits for various companies offering commercial diving services (i.e. employing commercial divers), which I won't list here. Another possibility would be to sign up for military service (provided you're so inclined), and aim for military diver training, which would give you many of the skills required for a career in commercial diving after demob. This training would be free to you, with the drawback that you'd effectively have to put yourself at the beck and call of the UK Gov't for 3-5 years (whatever the standard term is for UK military service). All the best.

I have been researching the same subject. PADI offers some classes geared toward recreational divers training from 0-instructor around 2K. I was wanting to get some certifications to service Poseidon regs. it seem the USA is deficient in class but your area is a good spot. If you were thinking of diving and working on oil rig etc not much and not that great of pay. If this helps maybe you could check in your zone for Poseidon tech classes.
