Hello, i'm 19 and my application has been accepted by the Royal Navy.. Just need to sit the test.. What i want to know is, what life is like as a Royal Navy diver.. i already know a lot, but any additional information would be greatfully appreciated!
also, is it a good place to go.. so when i come out i will have good opportunities as a 'commercial diver'.
Thnxs for your help, Dean.
p.s and links regarding military diving would be great....

Dean.........we talked a lot about this on MSN. I think personaly that your best bet is to go the Navy road. The commercial one is full of potholes, never having a minimum wage (Onshore) and never being sure if your employer will/can pay...........
I really hope that you find your path...........
keep in touch............and let us know which way you go.

the more i look into it.. the more i think the navy option is better, it's all good having the qualifications on paper... But with no practical experience it may be hard to find good work..
thanks alto Argo, you helped me a lot...

Isdeep, were not talking about you are we... it's about me And it's more of a means to an end, as they say.. I'll gain good training skills and experience with the navy, and thats why i'm asking around.. Argo seems to be the only 1 willing to help with questions here... thnxs 4 ur time anyway :S |

If I would know how to help you with info, I would. But because of lack of experience in this field I just can't help you! But I'm more than eager to hear from your upcoming experience!!!!!!

Hi d3an, maybe you want to ask this same question on www.yorkshire-divers.com and you might get some more answers as that there are a few RN divers roaming around. It's going to be muddy!!! |
