US to International Transition
So I'm wanting to step outside the US to work. Specifically South Africa or Australia. I have a family and specialize in Marine Construction. Anyone American Divers have any experience navigating this transition? I've looked into the DCBC - Adas crossover and understand it, but after that I'm alittle confused with the citizenship part for Australia and getting the work visa. As for South Africa I wasn't able to come up with a solid route of getting in. All information is welcomed.

Hi Lewis, I am a South African and I would suggest going to Australia if you really want to move. The inshore industry here is quite saturated and the pay will make you cry if you are used to dollars 😂. Why do you want to move?

@Joseph Quinn The owner/ supervisor is a pretty good guy but most of their work is scuba and hookah, so doesn't count for much
