Commercial Diving and Underwater Welding Training at Divers Institute of Technology in Seattle, WA.

foreign [Music] [Applause] like I could be a diver ever in my life before I decided to do underwater welding but here at dit they really take the time out to show you things and teach you the right way it gave me a lot of confidence that I could actually do any kind of job under the water whether it's underwater welding burning rigging whatever the job is I feel comfortable getting in the water and getting it done [Music] I had served in the United States Marine Corps as a machine gunner I did a couple deployments deciding that I needed to shift focus in my life and do something that brought that sense of camaraderie back in a different way while allowing me to work outside of a cubicle keeps that degree of danger there we're diving in Open Water we run everything from chainsaws to Impact Guns to hammer driller Jackhammer the instructors here are really big on the team environment and giving you the most realistic training that you can get I was a machine operator in Arkansas for seven years and I just decided that that's not what I wanted to do with my life so I I made the leaf and moved out to Washington and it's just been a great experience I've loved every minute of it dit staff and instructors they're all great they've been super helpful and just throughout the whole process of school they would send us packets with all the companies that you can go work at the possibilities are endless as a veteran you know you have all these benefits afforded to you and I'd never use my GI bill before the admissions office definitely made it a very smooth transition and it took a lot of that worry and stress away from tapping into those benefits and still pursuing the career that I want if you're currently serving and getting ready to end your contract I would definitely give dit a call I went for my first interview and I started next Wednesday for my first dive job I just look forward to it being able to take care of my kids and get them the best word I can give them and I did that all because of dit from start to finish it's been a real good experience I wouldn't chose no other school level dit [Music] this is my last week here I graduated on Thursday after my finals super excited dit hooked me up with company down in Miami Florida and I just can't wait to see where this career is going to lead me this has been one of the best experiences of my life and I recommend it to anybody that is thinking about it you should go and do this [Music] [Music]
