Opportunities await in 2018

January 9th, 2018

Welcome to 2018. The year is starting with a bang as the Aquaculture industry out east changes, grows, moves and 'morfs' with Marine Harvest looking to take over Northern Harvest in Newfoundland and Grieg Seafoods also expected to begin operations along the eastern seaboard. Whatever your personal feelings about it are, the aquaculture industry provides a start and an excellent...

I really enjoyed the projects. They were great ways to get experience using tools underwater. Before the barrel project I had only used a come-along once on the surface, I learned to use it pretty quick during that project! The bird house project was really fun and way more difficult than I thought it was going to be!

Impressed with the quality of instruction!

Awesome instructors who are knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I learned tons of practical diving skills im going to use in the commercial diving industry.

- Alec SCUBA Grad May 2017

Instructors were fun and professional - I had a great time.
- Grad

Ongoing support and contact about future opportunities has lead to work immediately after the course. Biological surveys, boat work and now on a urchin harvester Kirby. Rock on Divesafe!! Couldn't be more prepared.

I really enjoyed the flexible approach the instructor(s) took in allowing students to address and solve problems on our own and learn through experience

Very good and knowledgable instructors. Thank you.
- CSD Grad

I like the diversity of each others experience and how it shaped my own. Where you help someone in one area, they often can help in another.
- Robert SCUBA Grad May 2017

I came in with no dive experience and leaving with professional knowledge - thank you DiveSafe!
- OSD class 2017

They have told me that I am way more prepared than any other starting employee they have ever had. That's where I owe everyone there thanks. I feel confident in what I am doing, and it has shown. I want to thank everyone there for teaching me what it takes to be a diver, and giving me the knowledge and confidence I need.
- T. Carnahan

Divesafe gave me the skills needed to be a commercial diver. All of the instructors are top notch and have a ton of knowledge to share. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

- James

Kelly and his team are very well known in the industry.

- Sasha

I liked the short course time.
- Student

Ahoy just completed my occupational unrestricted scuba with nitrox last week. What a jumpstart into the commercial diving world. Divesafe has an outstanding dive and ofifice staff helping you all the way though.
- Matthew Kirby

Best Instructor I have had in all my years of schooling.

- Grad

From the beginning they were extremely well organized and clear with a complete class and dive schedule. That definitely helped me complete the course by knowing which day what sections were being covered and allowed me proper preparation prior.

- Matthew Kirby

This course took my career to a new level.

- Mike

The instructors were professional and fun, I appreciated the constructive criticism. The projects were hard but teach you a lot.
- SCUBA Grad 2017

I finished the commercial scuba class and swim away impressed, educated, and supported. The training and equipment are top notch and the staff are friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable. I go out into the underwater world equipped with practical skills while knowing Divesafe is there for me, like a family, providing, support, encouragement, job postings, and advice. If I could give more stars in this review I would!
- Rob Field - DiveSafe Grad 2016

Great overall course, awesome instructors. I'd recommend Divesafe to anyone!
- Grad

The SCUBA course was both exciting and educating and the instructors are knowledgeable 10/10 I would refer this course to anyone.
- SCUBA Grad 2017

I did not really know what to expect from a commercial dive course, but Divesafe provided a great experience and a course that more than prepares you for the diving industry. Also incredibly helpful getting work for recent graduates. I had three or four opportunities right out of school thanks to the Divesafe staff. All in all I learned a lot and had a great time doing it. Still have nightmares about that birdhouse though!
- Paul Hinton

You have a great program, and also a great staff, it was a pleasure being able to come out and take your course.
