The
industry BOOM in Commercial Diving careers.
There has never been a better time in history to pursue
a career as a commercial diver. The demand for commercial
divers has rapidly increased due to projects resulting from
hurricanes and major flooding worldwide, as well as increased
regulations and standards.
Currently, the demand for commercial divers far exceeds the
number of divers available. That puts the commercial diver
in the driver seat when it comes to negotiating compensation,
job location and other benefits.
If you started a class at The Commercial Diving Academy
today, you could be working as a commercial diver in about
five months. You would have a full range of diving and mechanical
skills, the potential for excellent income and be presented
with exciting challenges and travel opportunities.
An important factor for anyone considering a career is earning
potential. In the past, the entry level commercial diver
could expect to earn between $18,000 and $35,000 a year.
Salary increases afterward would average $10,000 to $15,000
a year. Top salary ranges could be $50,000 to $80,000 or
more. The demand for divers has driven the compensation ranges
skyward and we are seeing starting salaries 25-30% higher
than normal. This is a trend that is expected to continue
for the near term and in the event of another active hurricane
season, could increase again.
