Greetings:

The number you posted on does not even come close to
including commercial divers.  Commercial divers don't go through a SCUBA
training agency for gas training like IANTD, TDI etc.  Commercial divers
will be trained in house by whatever company they are working for
(Oceaneering Int. etc.).  Since you get paid by the depth (the deeper
you go the more you get paid) the most experienced divers will get to do
the gas diving.  In most cases it will take someone breaking into the
commercial field a good 4 years before they will being diving gas.

Commercial companies also do not give you a  little card for
certification, you learn it and do it.

Tom
