Solid program for anyone looking to get there endorsement. Captains and crew members are very knowledgeable and experienced. Willing to help you and offer advise at any experience level! Cool lads, glad I went with Diamond.

I was having a really difficult time getting hired on tugs nationwide. I graduated with a 3/m unlimited license but never got any towing experience. Everyone I spoke to about a job wanted new hires to have a TOAR already. By the time I finally got hired, I had to start with AB wages. I found out about this TOAR class in NY and gave Sam a call. I took the class and got everything I needed for the Coast guard endorsement. Diamond Marine Services made the process a breeze, everyone was helpful, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. This class has paid for itself OVER AND OVER, I got a pay increase for getting the endorsement immediately. Sam is a great guy, he will help you get what you need. Give DMS a call!!!

Diamond Marine Services will get you informed and taught on all aspects of towing/pushing operations, and will do it in a quick and efficient manner. I recommend the class for anyone wishing to acquire their TOAR.

I highly recommend this course for anyone who is trying to attain their towing endorsement and get some experience behind the wheel.
In some instances it’s just not practical or possible to finish your assessments at work and Diamond Marine rises to the occasion to meet that demand in our industry.
Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. There are few courses I’ve taken where I can walk away and say, in all honesty that I enjoyed it as well as leave with knowledgeable and prepared for the real thing.
Thank you!

Many thanks to Birk, Matt, Sam, and the CORNELL Crew for a great day of instruction, discussion, and assessment on the water.
I cannot say enough good about this avenue for completion of the TOAR and the great work of the entire Diamond Marine Services group. BZ! Well Done.
