[edit] Merging

I'd say keep them separate. Neither article is that great but they are about significantly different things: Commercial Diving is a highly specialised operation which needs a separate page, but the Underwater diving page is just a general introduction to the whole topic of diving - be it SCUBA, free-diving, commercial or however else. Definitely keep them separate - but cleaning them both up and expanding would be good. If you get time before me then please do it! Iancaddy 00:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree to all of Iancaddy's arguments. Heinrich L. 19:52, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I also strongly oppose the merge. This article contains a lot of information specific to commercial diving. The majority of scuba divers are recreational for whom the introductory material on Underwater diving is appropriate. Viv Hamilton 12:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Yup, don't do it. Keep 'em separate. --UD75 17:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] General

Man, that hazmat diving sounds just wonderful. I can't possibly imagine welding something inside a live septic tank. Now that should definitely be on the discovery channel's world's dirtiest jobs.
