Business is Booming: The Growth of the Commercial Diving Industry

If you’ve recently been finding yourself more interested in becoming a commercial diver, you’re not alone. Becoming a commercial diver may only require a comparatively short period of education, but there are a wide variety of occupations this certification opens doorways to. While some commercial divers are in charge of inspecting, repairing and removing structures and equipment in underwater environments they may also work for police departments, salvage companies, film production companies, or a whole host of other industries. With such a wide range of career paths to choose from this one certification, it’s no wonder this industry’s growth in demand and wage continues to rise every year.

industry has had an average growth of roughly 3 percent per year in both the private and public sectors. That means that since 2004 alone, the demand for commercial divers has more than doubled. What’s more, this trend shows no signs of slowing down. That growth is expected to continue to increase 17 percent over the next 8 years, with an expected 700 new jobs filled by 2030.
