Want a diving job?

Post by girldiver »

So...this is a close friend of mine who has a diving job open. Ignore the "navy background"...what he needs is someone who can do light commercial work underwater and keep their head straight. This is working on the houseboats on Lake Union.

Looking for someone with some knowledge of construction who is good in the water. New divers need NOT apply.

Here's the CL posting...

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/trd/2901698208.html

If anyone knows anyone....all he's getting is "clowns" applying through CL.

Thanks guys!

I recieved a Bachelors in Sociology under the pre law option B which is the Law, Society & Social Policy option, as well as Poli-Sci under the Law Society & Justice option as well as a minor in Communications with a focus on public speaking. I also have some other certifications and degrees in business and some other things as well as radio and audio engineering but thats the jist of it.

Ah, well we have several openings but none for a Sociology major unfortunately. We need Math/Science majors.

Good luck on your job hunt!

I have a few recent Math/Science recent graduates some not so recent. Mostly school teachers but I know at least one of them is job hunting. PM me the info and I can send it to them. They are all great guys...

The "new" status...this is a job which possibly involves entanglement (the bottom of the Lake is a trash heap)...solo diving at all times...so it's not recreational by any means.

Picture getting entangled in random stuff, while having raw sewage blasting into your face and finding the solution to getting out on your own... Yeah...no National Geographic stuff here. :)

So far, the two applicants who have come forward from this board are stronger than the ones he's gleaned off of CL. I hate to sound like a girl..."But I told him so."

This reminds me of a job that I do once in a while cutting line from crab pots out of the wheel of a tug. The last job I did, I surfaced next to the discharge pipe for the head and someone had flushed the toilet and sure enough out come a nice turd and a wad of toilet paper. So yes… It has all the elements Solo diving, entanglement hazards and poop! :partydance:

Too funny, when I was working with my father-in-law I made the mistake of laughing at him once when he got turded while cutting a sewer line. I inherited the "duty" thereafter!

I once had to fix a blocked sewer line in seattle that had a12ft fall to it.

When I cut that line, it gave a whole new definition to dooty geyser.
