Passed my ADCI surface-supplied card in Morgan City after 3 tries on the helmet
Third attempt at the written and the hat check, and the examiner in Morgan City shook my hand and said I was the calmest guy in the water all week. Feels good to finally have the card in my wallet, now I just need to find a tender spot to prove it, any leads near the Gulf?

Got a truck and a dive gear hookup yet? Tenders get picked fast down there.

Skip the online job boards and drive down to Fourchon or Venice in person, walk the docks with your card and ask the dock boss directly. Bring good boots and gloves and be ready to work the same day, because guys who show up ready get picked over guys who call. Make sure your TWIC is current and have your rigging basics down, since tenders who can already handle a wrench and tie off a hose move up way faster. Keep your gear in the truck so you can jump on a boat that needs a body right then. And don't get picky about the first offer, get your hours in and the good spots open up once the crews know your name.
