    Why should deep sea divers on circa 1000 GBP a day
    I was actually going to mention this yesterday,my kid currently vacillates between wanting to be a dentist/doctor or a technical diver,I found a few decent Technical diving colleges in asia,one in Singapore,but one of my mates who was a technical diver till his early 30's said their career is very short,my old man was in the navy for 20 years.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Tawi, Sat diving is very competative business and you have to really suck up to the dive superintendant to maintain a regular slot. The courses are also very expensive to qualify, I think it is somewhere around £10,000 to 15000!! I know of sat divers in their 40's still going in the bin and doing 28 days in sat. You do have to have a specail mentality for sat diving. You are kept in a chamber approx 1.7m diameter by about 5 meters with 2 other blokes for 28 days!! You have to be able to get on with everyone!!! But if you can pay for the course, find a regular slot then as ricky says you can earn vast amounts of money. Plus you can then go on to do the supervisors course and that means no more sat, you'd run the divers from topside on the ship. The big plus is apart from not being in sat the money goes up even higher. £1200-1500 / day.
    It's been emontional
