If you like to go scuba diving but you are tired of diving in the customary places, then you might want think about trying for something more adventurous like deep sea diving.

Deep sea diving is rated the greatest variety of scuba diving there is. Whether you are a recreational diver or you want to start a career in scuba diving, deep sea diving is a testing offshoot of examining the underwater world.

Like scuba diving, you will be using some of the standard equipment, such as regulators, scuba tanks, lead weights, BCD, wetsuit or dry suit, fins, mask, and others. However, you have to realize that there is still quite a lot of equipment and some particular abilities that you will have to learn in order to become a deep sea diver or what is often named a technical diver in the non-professional diving world.

In professional diving circles, deep sea diving is often called commercial diving. If you love diving so much and you want to make a living out of it, one of the best career choices is being a commercial diver.

But, before you put on your scuba diving gear and apply for a job as a commercial diver, you have to recognize that commercial diving is a different variety of diving. There is high tech apparatus involved and you will also have to learn how to use unusual tools.

Commercial divers are often employed in undersea assembly and submarine reclamation projects to name but two. You will have to handle dangerous materials and operate special apparatus to get the job completed. For instance, there will be times where you will need to fix high explosives undersea to blow up sunken ships that are a hazard to other ships, and you will also have to cope with undersea welding for underwater construction.

Decontaminating the hulls of ships is also a component of the job of a commercial diver. On oil rigs, you will be called on to fix problems with an oil rig undersea, or you will also be required to construct or weld pipelines.

Because of the hazards of commercial diving, you will have to go to a special commercial diving school first, where you will be taught how to handle the special equipment used in commercial diving. |Furthermore, you will be instructed about undersea pressure, as well as the different equipment used in commercial diving, such as the full face mask, the helmet, lead boots and other things.

Commercial diving really is very different from recreational diving. In diving school, deep sea diving is often the subject, but here you will also be instructed about the varying types of air mixes, particularly the trimix, that is used for breathing undersea. You will also learn the subject of diving medicine like how to treat decompression sickness and nitrogen narcosis.

Although there are hazards in commercial diving, accidents are rare, which just goes to show that commercial divers are well-trained. There is just no room for error in commercial diving, which is why commercial divers study very intensely in order to go into their profession.

If you would like to become a deep sea diver, then becoming a commercial diver most likely is the right job choice for you. You will not only be able to earn a lot of money, but you will also have a profession that is full of exhilaration and adventure.
