Presentation Outline:
I have been in the commercial diving industry for 45 years. I
started at Seneca College in the Underwater skills program and
have worked in the water doing construction on piers, bridges,
power dams, oilfield platforms and many other diversified
projects.
The job has taken me to the Arctic, the North Atlantic, the Gulf
of Mexico, South China Sea, Arabian Sea, Indian Ocean, Persian
Gulf, the Great Lakes, and many inland rivers.
I presently teach at the Canadian Working Divers Institute in
Chapleau Ontario. This allows me to completely avoid airports,
Customs officials, Visas, and passport offices.
Diving has been a rewarding and interesting career for me and
I hope you will find it of interest.
