I would suggest that any resettlement money would be better spent on gaining electrical/electronic or hydraulic qualifications.
Getting an insight or introduction to ROVs will do you no good if you are unable to maintain and repair them, which is what employers are looking for.
I have heard the argument about how Divers can get into ROVs "because they know about working in the water" but in reality ROV personnel are taken on to maintain and repair the equipment – this is the number one priority. All operational stuff with ROVs is learnt AFTER you get the job.
^^^^ this ^^^^^^ The main thing about getting into ROV’s is being able to fix/maintain them. What’s the point in being able to fly an ROV if you don’t have one to fly because its on the deck and you can’t sort it? We had an ex diver out with us through an agency and he was not asked back due to his severe lack of technical ability. His diving experience had no relevance to the job we were doing.
