Some combine their skills to dive as a full-time occupation. Others, such as marine scientists, may dive as only part of their work. Divers may work inland, inshore and offshore. ——————————————————————————————————2/4—— Have you got a careers qujty? Write to: MIKE DRUMMOND, Teletext, PO Box 2:7, London SW6 1XT.
