Commercial Diver Training

[MrBryce47]

how long do you think there will be a need for commercial divers?

[bandyman87]

@MrBryce47 As long as there is ROV pilots fouling their ROV´s. Then forever! :P

[Murvend07]

wow, so extreme and cool~

[spunkybdub320]

Why the FUCK would you use Katy Perry? So. Gay.

[bandyman87]

@spunkybdub320 Im tottaly not using this song next time, lols. too many complaints :)

[Nurr0]

@bandyman87 Ehh I didn't mind it!

[Gazza14387]

are you an instructor or were u a student on the course ? im very interested in doing the course. i was looking at the courses at fort william in scotland. looks class.

[Gazza14387]

whats happening near the end where the person is being dragged ?

[bandyman87]

@Gazza14387 I think your looking at the part where we were doing rescue dives, Guy comes down and grabs the diver then gets hauled back via umbilical. All very funny :)

[sebhead]

terrible music

[CYLing90]

what is the name for this song??????????

[bandyman87]

@CYLing90 Katy Perry - Hot n Cold

[makealilmoney]

katy perry?

[bandyman87]

@makealilmoney yeah, guy kept singing it on my course so I thought it would be funny to use it in the vid :)

[OM33333]

@bartapian5

offshore under the RMT agreement

baby Air Diver is about £310 per day

'professional' Air Diver is £480 per day

Highest it gets is in sat £1198 per day

Chances of getting any of the above - next to nil, the market is depressed at the moment and North Sea jobs are like rocking horse teeth.

[nostakahn]

good vis!

[bandyman87]

I heard that they are doing the full NDT course now? I would still go to TWI to do it though.

[st4221]

well yeah i mean if its scots running the show, its bound to be a rip off

[DougieBarclay]

good video mate, possible to do a re-do with depth superimposed onto scenes?

[bandyman87]

I'le have to dig up the videos and see, I dont think it showed the depth etc but i'm sure there will be one somewhere which does. For some reason when I got the Vids off the ROV guys i got multiple copies of the same vid, So you never know. I might if I can find it :)

[papajoe750]

was the course difficult bandyman87? more importantly, any work prospects as yet? thinking of doing it in 2010. many thanks

[bandyman87]

The Course itself was good fun, I dont know what it will be like for you but the course for me was good though i think i should have read up a bit more, Also sleep more :). As for work, i dont know about other divers but i am finding it difficult to find work but i'm in the wrong country completely to get dive work so that my fault. lol.

[dedcell]

did u have to pay all cash upfront or did u get like a deal with the council so they pay it and u pay them back plus interest?

[bandyman87]

I paid it all upfront but I used my Dads company to get VAT off which was quite nice :)

[danieleriver]

but he school for become inernational commercial diver ?? in italy there arnt i thx :(

[saladdogger]

Great video Thanks for posting Nice to see a freeflow hat in action for a change.Whats the music called?

[Finomej]

Katie Perry - Hot and Cold

[scubadev]

Meh, I dive inland. Not that great. Offshore is where its at.

[bandyman87]

At least your honest, lol.

[bandyman87]

I though the song was quite fitting to commercial diving in general, the words Hot & Cold, Yes & No, In & Out Up & Down, All having meaning. Hot & Cold = Make it hot or make it cold as in the tool etc. Yes and No is what you would probably have to respond to most of the times to you supervisor telling you off :), In & Out is self explanatory and so is Up & Down.... Thats the reason i choose it... Ahh also i choose it more cause this guy on my course kept singing it, lol.

[fightinguandi1]

Song? Very raunchy

[bandyman87]

From a past TUC student, I will warn you about Fort William, they HATE! us divers! no kidding!

Plus sleep when you have the chance, I was exhausted at the end of my 3month course! Tell me how your course goes! :)

[marcvanbastard]

Why would they hate us ?am suppose to be going there come month of july this year.

[bandyman87]

I dont know they just do, But i suppose its like that with any town with a training centre in it. They just get sick of us or something. But I wouldnt worry, you will enjoy your course like hell! I loved my time there and I imagine you will too!, Drop a message on how it goes for you!! :)

[marcvanbastard]

Yeh sure no problem...have u gotten a job out there as yet in the field?

[skinhead389]

[bandyman87]

[skinhead389]

[LB1973]

@marcvanbastard stems from the sheer amount of absent divers kids in the town wierdly enough
