Question
Posted : February 11, 2014
I'm a 28yr old serving prison officer but feel the time is right for a change. Commercial diving seems quite appealing to me but i have no trades and only basic school qualifications behind me. Is this likely to be an issue or will the training courses give me the skills required to fulfill the role? Any comments much appreciated.

Hi, as long as you have a practical aptitude then you should do fine, as our commercial diving courses include training in subsea construction, tools and tasks. For more information on the kind of background it's good to have, read this blog post: http://blog.theunderwatercentre.com/2013/12/what-background-best-suits-a-career-as-a-commercial-diver/
