Applied for a job a few weeks back, they gave 12 interviews out of 367 applicants... I got one, went quite well and they said they'd invite the 3 best candidates a days trial... just got a letter basically telling me I was the 4th best
so close yet so far!!

Nope, the role was to spend 2 years with them working from the boats and basically learning everything you possibly could without actually going in the water, then when your ready they'd pay for your HSE which is a full 9 week course to become a qualified commercial diver.
