I actually think I posted here years ago asking for advice as being a commercial diver was what I always wanted to do but in the mean time saving money for courses I ended up working on ships instead of underneath them. Now I have a situation where my leave goes on for 2/3 months at a time and what I want to ask is, is it possible to work inshore diving during this time or is it something that just wouldn't work out? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I have no idea how your rotas/contracts work, whether it's freelance or permanent etc. I've chatted with divers when we've had them in for hull inspections and opinions seemed to be mixed.
As a bit of background info, I'm lucky enough to be a ship's Officer that spends a lot of time out on deck actually working/ doing maintenance/ fixing screw ups, etc, not just sitting on my a*se in a nice white boiler suit ;-) I'm practical (which is why I can't sit still) can weld, etc. and I would say I have all of the skills you would expect someone working on deck to have.
Anyway, thanks for your time
