There is very little call for commercial divers these days. Let's face it,
sitting on the bottom of the North Sea welding pipelines is probably better left
to machines. However, according to the Professional Association of Diving
Instructors (PADI) there are more jobs in the recreational industry that there
are professionals looking to fill them.
Recreational Diving
This covers Rescue
Divers, Divemasters
and Instructors,
all of whom can work professionally in the UK. With the world seemingly getting
smaller, the demand for exotic holiday locations is increasing and so is the
Dive Industry. The opportunities for those looking to work abroad as Dive Guides
or Instructors have never been better. A foreign language will be a great
benefit as will boat handling, equipment repair and servicing and retail
experience.
Research Divers
A lot of this work is usually voluntary, but someone has to organise it. An
appreciation of conservation, coral, fish identification and leadership skills
are a general requirement. At Divemaster Scuba we promote conservation
presentations on a voluntary basis. Keep an eye out in the Scuba magazines for
opportunities.
Emergency Services
Police Divers and those working for the Emergency Services all had to start
somewhere as do Navy Divers. Perhaps not as glamorous as teaching off a beach in
the Caribbean, but can be equally satisfying for those not set on a nine to five
job. A Diving Qualification in leadership would be a great asset.
Travel and Leisure Industry
Specialist Travel Companies, holiday companies, leisure pools all come in to
contact with Scuba Divers at sometime or other. Even a basic knowlege of Scuba
will be of great benefit.
