The field of commercial diving encompasses a wide range of industrial activities and environments. As a professional commercial diver, you'll work on jobs that others only dream about and see the underwater world few people ever experience.
Just about anywhere there is water, there is a need for professional divers. Divers work in oceans, rivers, lakes, harbors, even containment ponds in chemical, nuclear or other energy producing facilities.
Many professional divers work in exotic places worldwide; places like Borneo, Singapore, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and the South Pacific. Inland and offshore, you'll find commercial divers enjoying the payoff of a challenging and stimulating career.
Today there are over 250 marine construction and contracting firms in the U.S., plus approximately 350 diving contractors working in foreign waters throughout the world. These very divergent companies have one thing in common, their need for divers and support personnel. The jobs are there, and they are exciting, challenging, and financially rewarding. National Polytechnic College of Science can provide the basic training you need for a career in many underwater specialties.
