A pipeline inspection, maintenance, and repair professional with a career that spans three decades, Joshua Price has served as president of Onyx Services Incorporated since 2013. In addition to his considerable sales and operational management experience, Joshua Price has worked extensively as a commercial diver.
Commercial divers are the most common category of diver that involves working for pay. The offshore oil and gas industry employs the most commercial divers. These divers often live on petroleum operation platforms or vessels for extended periods of time.
Individuals who don’t want to brave the hazardous working and living conditions of the offshore diver can explore various types of inland diving operations in ocean harbors and freshwater bodies such as lakes and rivers. Inland divers are essential elements of many civil engineering operations, but tend to make less money than their offshore counterparts.
Outside of the general civil engineering and petroleum sectors, commercial divers can specialize in HAZMAT diving and diving associated with nuclear operations. Other big employers of commercial divers include the military, the law enforcement community, the media, and the scientific community.
