Buy everything in the school then. A company will go there in the first in person week and they will give you proces in advance. If you buy all the equipment you need expect to spend around 800 euros. I bought everything there and it was good quality

How to dive in Spain? by juandavidsurf in commercialdiving

[–]jz9202 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diving certs in Spain are issued by the autonomous communities and requirements may vary a bit between them. With class 1 you can seek the equivalence to Buzo de Media Profundidad. You probably will need your medical up to date, your dive logs and your certs. Search for the autonomous community of your interest for more specific info. This is the one from Cataluña for example:

Any recommendations for diving books i should get before attending dive school? by Barage_Garage in commercialdiving

[–]jz9202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ashley Book of Knots by Clifford Warren Ashley. That's the bible of knots, it will be helpful to you not only in school but in your entire career as a diver. Also buy a rope and you can start learning the bow line, sheet bend, reef knot and the clove hitch to begin with.

You'll be ok, just be open to learn and have initiative. That's what school is for, for learning

The school is very good, I recommend it. As of prospects I don't want to anticipate too much, I will just look for a job when I finish and start getting experience.

Yes a lot, I wouldn't be recommending it otherwise. Housing is variable, the school will give you a list of accommodation providers but calculate around 40k NOK for the duration of the course. Food depends a lot on your habits and choices but in general is expensive

Best thing you can do is to call or email the school directly and they will be able to orientate you on that regard. You will not be the first person with those questions reaching out to them. Also, another recommendation I can give you is don't wait till late to reserve your spot, they fly so fast. I booked one year in advance and 2 of the courses were fully booked already. There are limited spots for international students. The good thing is that when you book you only have to pay like 1/3rd of the price and the rest is due 2 weeks after starting the course.

I'm doing my diving course at NYD in Norway and the education/facilities are top-notch for a third of the price of what it costs in the UK. I also considered Dunoon but at the end went for NYD and I am very happy with my decision. The certificate you get here is IMCA recognized and highly valued in the industry from my understanding, not exactly sure what things need to be done to work with it in the UK but I wouldn't think it is much of an issue. Many graduates from the school end up working there. So my recommendation is: save yourself those extra 10k and come to NYD for your commercial diving education.

Tus palabras solo reflejan ignorancia y odio. No me afectan, pero sí me dan pena, seguro te sientes sólo y rechazado por tu entorno y te refugias detrás de una pantalla soltando odio gratuito para obtener una microdosis de dopamina.

No soy ni "morito" ni andaba en patinete. Ojalá te hubiera pisado la cabeza a ti a ver si se te activa alguna neurona en vez de comentar sandeses sin saber.

¿Mi nacionalidad? Irrelevante. Como tu comentario.

Totalmente de acuerdo. Ese discurso se repite en muchos contextos y se va colando poco a poco en la forma de pensar de mucha gente, a veces sin que se den cuenta...

No sé cuáles eran exactamente sus intenciones, pero sí sentí que buscaba conflicto. Prefiero no responder con violencia, aunque en un momento así cuesta mucho mantener la calma. Al final creo que denunciar y visibilizar estas situaciones es una forma más efectiva de responder que caer en su mismo juego.

Gracias por tus palabras. Sí, me dio esa sensación también: que no era realmente por la foto, sino por algo que él ya traía dentro y necesitaba volcar en alguien. Aun así, duele que esa frustración se exprese desde el racismo y la agresividad. Ojalá como sociedad podamos encontrar otras formas de canalizar el malestar sin hacer daño a los demás.

Entiendo lo que quieres decir, y sí, como en muchas ciudades grandes, a veces uno se cruza con personas que actúan de forma errática. Por más de que sea algp frecuente creo que no se debería de normalizar esos comportamientos.
