Do you enjoy scuba diving? Would it not it be great to be able to do what you love and make a profit? Fortunately for you, there are many types of diving careers.
The most well known branch of commercial scuba diving is offshore diving. Offshore divers work to support the oil industry. Their work may include building underwater structures to enhance the production process or maintaining the oil platforms. This is often an entry point to the scuba diving industry.
Inland divers are very similar to offshore divers; however their work is usually located in lakes, hydroelectric dams, bridges, and rivers. Their work mainly includes underwater survey and engineering work.
A third type of professional diving is HAZMAT diving. The main tasks for these divers include sewer maintenance, pollution control, repairing damaged pipes, and finding lost objects or bodies.
Nuclear diving is very comparable to HAZMAT diving. However, nuclear diving involves the exposure to radiation instead of a water borne contaminant. Nuclear divers often work in dangerously high water temperature environments.
Scientific diving is a very popular option for career diving. It is one of the least dangerous types of commercial diving. However, most scientific divers must first be a qualified scientist before entering into this field. The three most common sciences that are studied underwater are geology, underwater archeology, and marine biology. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency employs many scientific divers to study the extent and affects of pollution on water quality and underwater organisms.
A form of professional diving that is quickly gaining popularity is media diving. Media diving is used to get underwater photography and film. This media is then used for documentaries, television programs, and even Hollywood movies. Most people who are successful in media diving are also professionally trained cameramen.
If you are in the military, you may have the option of pursuing military or naval diving. Military divers carry out both offensive and defensive studies. Infiltration, sabotage, and underwater demolition are typical maneuvers. However, locating underwater explosives and underwater enemy presence also makes up a significant portion of their work. Naval divers serve a very different function. They are responsible for maintaining and repairing military ships and equipment.
Police diving is another form of commercial diving. The police force uses trained divers to locate criminal evidence or bodies that could be in rivers, lakes, or even the sea. Another aspect of police diving includes checking incoming ships for contraband items that could be attached underneath the water to the hull of the ship.
Finally, you could also become a dive instructor. There are two types of dive instructors: recreational and commercial. Recreational instructors train people who are interested in learning to dive for fun. They often work at vacation areas and resorts. Commercial dive instructors are used to train employees in one of the above categories of commercial diving.
If diving is your passion, you are in luck! You have numerous options to easily turn it into a successful career!
