Summary
After working as a casual Abalone and Urchin diver for 6 years during my off season at the meat works, I worked towards my aquaculture certifications to further my diving career harvesting Geoduck Clams on surface supplied air. I was then given the opportunity to work with a commercial diving company relocating mussel farms and conducting mooring maintenance but was limited to the diving work I was able to conduct with my current diving qualification and decided to enrol in an ADAS course. I am looking to enter to job field with a company where I can learn as much as possible, further my career and apply all the skills I have obtained in real world conditions. I have a strong work ethic and great time management and believe I could be a quality member of your team.
