No more ads please Jeff - this is becoming spam. Your initial post was welcome, this next set are unnecessary. Put a link in the directory if you want, but no more posts.

Dear BSAC boys,

Just trying to do the dive community a service, we do this all for free in our spare time, we promote all agencies and enjoy using the WEB as a way to communicate as best we can.

I have been diving for many years,as a Recreational and Commercail diver and feel this is a little way to give somehing back.

Give a guy a break

So as requested put a link in the link database and stop clogging up the fora

[Ben Panter]

Jeff,

Same rules for you as for everyone else. One post is an informative link, three get annoying. Were your first post to have come from a commercial organisation we would have probably removed it immediately... as it seems to be not-for-profit the admin team decided to let it stand. We run this board for the benefit of divers who wish to partake in it - not as a free advertising space for all and sundry.

If you're interested in helping out fellow divers, it would be great to have a foreign perspective on the diving discussions here. Join in some of the topics, contribute some of your knowledge to the training of others - If you're contributing, you can even put a discrete link in your signature if you like. Otherwise, well, sorry our way of doing things doesn't suit you - a pity, as it suits the vast majority of the 3600+ members of our online community pretty well.

Cheers,

Ben

Isn't this getting beyond a joke? :mad:

This purpose of this particular forum is to advertise jobs in the dive industry - therefore there's GOT TO BE A LINK TO A COMMERCIAL ORGANISATION!!!:confused:

Come on Admin type guys - this thread at least should be full of links, otherwise were would prospective professional instructors look - surely the BSAC Forums School Instructors: Jobs available and wanted thread is the place to start......

Yes, to advertise jobs, not repeat posts advertising another site.

Jeff could have a single entry in the links directory like any other business.

Fair point Adrian, but I'm no wonderkid when it comes to the internet - and if I was looking for anything like this I would look in this forum first.

Plus having just had a look at the links bit (IMHO), it did not look too user friendly and couldn't see straight off where to find jobs etc - so I would have come back to this forum anyway!!!

OK, how would you improve the links directory Steve?

There is a search facility in the directory. If the link mentioned jobs, then it would be found.

Plus if you came back to the forum, and there were multiple posts to another site, how fed up would you get? Personally, this kind of repeat post would start to put me off.

Adrian,

I clearly see your point, but as I say I'm not as "netfriendly" as some and cannot say/help to improve unless its got big pictures of nemo/action man scuba diver etc, and trawling through a forum like this was what found me my first job in diving (though thats another story), and besides some people like just trawling through stuff....clicking on links to see where it takes em.....

Steve

PS. Am just off my 300th post. Do you get greens for reaching milestones? ;)

Maybe a Jobs section under "Commercial Services"?!

I guess jobs would get covered under "Other" but it might make it clearer where people should be posting links to and not using the forum.

It isn't a dig at the forum design as I have no trouble using it, but as you asked.

Aaargh - the devils own testicles..........:mad:

Getting back to the discussion though:

Just went into links directory and did a search for jobs = 0
went into forums directory and did same search for jobs = 63

See my point?

Steve

Just 2 posts off number 300...... and still "lovin it"

Ah, but that is down to users... And most appear to have used the jobs forum in the spirit intended.

The forum is for jobs, not for sites advertising jobs - a subtle difference.

Steve,

I think I do see your point. We approach these things with our own expectations and use our intuition. Contrary to the views of Microsoft and many techies, intuition is not wired as standard by our manufacturer, it is environmental conditioning - we develop it, empirically and involuntarily, as part of being alive. Fact is, I am so frequently let down by the web, its partiality, its assumption of in-depth prior knowledge and the overbearing proportion of sheer garbage sloughing around that I use it less and less.

Still, if we want to be informed - in these days of information pull - we just have to knuckle down and search systematically through this great load of junk in the hope of finding that pearl of great price. I'm afraid that the information suppliers have become the thought police, a universal KGB. You and I will be as guilty as sin for many years yet. They certainly show every sign of becoming ever less tolerant.

Sorry about your weather - but not yet tearful

Mike

[jeff scott]

Maybe the Guys should stop deliberating about it and just set up a section dedicated to dive jobs...........! you would get tons of new traffic and tons of new readers.............! did I say tons.....!

Rock on BSAC forum

[Tristan Green]

John,

Like that? Have another look now.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Cheers,

[jeff scott]

Dear Forum,

The link has created loads of new interest we are posting loads of opportunities every day........Please take your fingers out the rule book, this is the internet, this is the 21st Century.

Not looking to rock your little Boat.

I HOPE THAT IS CLEAR.

Hi, this message is for anyone who remembers what it's like to be just coming out of dive school and not knowing exactly what to do about finding work and who has a little time to give a newbie a hand.

I'm graduating from the Divers Institutes of Technology in Seattle Wa. USA in April. I'm not really interested in going to the gulf of Mexico where I hear Caldive and Global are basically hiring every single student from our graduating classes every month. I'm more interested in working inland and getting a whole lot of different experiences i.e different underwater construction projects, NDT, maintenance etc. Basically I want to do something different every day and I'm not all that interested in cleaning chambers and painting floors and what not (which I hear are a few menial tasks that tenders have to do for a period of 2-3 years if they go offshore.)

I have nothing against doing these jobs as well as diving, because obviously it happens in every career that you have to do jobs you don't want once in a while but 2 years of it seems a little steep.

Anyways, I've been looking for inland companies on Longstreath.com and emailing them that I'm interested but so far not much luck. I was hoping someone could give me some ideas on who to contact, people who are looking for tenders inland and even offshore experiences that counter what I've heard over the past couple of weeks.

Basically any informations would be greatly appreciated on my hunt for inland (or offshore) employment that might steer me in the right direction.

Thank you.

I clearly see your point, but as I say I'm not as "netfriendly" as some and cannot say/help to improve unless its got big pictures of nemo/action man scuba diver etc,Who's fault is that then? [rhetorical]

If you want/need training to use a computer or the web there are plenty of places you can pay for training. Personally I don't think the BSAC membership should be prevented from using technology or paying for your lack of training. (ooh the irony of it).

and trawling through a forum like this was what found me my first job in diving (though thats another story), and besides some people like just trawling through stuff....clicking on links to see where it takes em.....And some people can't stand reading repetitive adverts masquerading as forum posts. Both sides complain to the moderators about it.

We publish a policy that considers EVERYONE's wishes and which we would like EVERYONE, including the moderators to stick to. We do not totally prevent or ban adverts and announcements. Neither do we provide a free for all advertising channel. It is a compromise.

Personally I think that even in the 22nd century there will still be people unwilling or unable to compromise, claiming they are hard done by when nothing could be further from the truth. I guess the same people think nothing of stuffing their faces with the free peanuts on the bar, denying anyone else a handful and complaining loudly when the bar maid stops filling up the bowl!

Advertisers have a free facility here. It is not an unlimited resource.
