INDUSTRY NEWS

The long term affects of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita on the lives of people living along the Gulf Coast can never be measured in dollars. The emotional impact of the survivors will far exceed the recovery dollars spent and we have extended our thoughts, prayers and contributions to the recovery effort. As a trade school, The Commercial Diving Academy is in the unique position to help with the rebuilding process. Our mission is to train the work force that will be the key to recovery efforts within the energy industry. We have all felt the impact of the recent spike in gasoline prices as a direct result of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. The price increases have highlighted the fact that the energy industry is critical to our nation’s economy, and subsequently, The Commercial Diving Academy is critical to the energy industry.

Historically, devastating weather such as hurricanes have always created employment opportunities for those trained as Commercial Diving Specialists,. The Commercial Diving Academy has been providing training and expertise for students interested in diving careers since 1995. In addition, we assist graduating students with job placement. Recently we hosted Steven B. Moses, the President of Tiburon Divers Inc and Mark Harper of Oceaneering International to discuss job opportunities. . .

Why Learn Underwater Welding?

Why should you learn underwater welding? The immediate answer is, Why not? Because, someone may say, it costs money to learn that stuff. It's true, improving yourself does take time and money and effort. But how can investing in yourself be a bad move? If you analyze the issue, a better answer would be - There's no good reason not to learn underwater welding, especially if you're looking to better yourself and increase your odds of success in finding a satisfying career.

Consider what's involved in becoming an underwater welder. Take either half of the name first - underwater or welding. Start with welding. You know it's always good to have a skill, and being a skilled welder is a good thing to be. You could take up welding as a hobby, and find that your skill develops into paying work. Or, you may go directly to welding as a profession, and turn your profession into a lifelong career. Now take the second part, underwater. The same thing applies for underwater that applies to welding. You could learn diving as a hobby and perhaps turn your hobby into a paying profession. And, you could go directly to diving as a profession and make a good career out of it. The common thread in welding or underwater is this: if you learn a skill, either as a hobby or a profession, you can turn that skill into a career. So why learn to be an underwater welder? Simple - to learn two skills, and double your chances of finding a rewarding career.
