As you will read on here and in the news, the industry is going through a massive downturn at the moment. People with 20+ years experience are struggling for work, this is not the time to be looking to join this industry.
Regarding training, I would highly recommend any raining you wish to do should have transferrable skills and not specifically for ROVs. For example doing an ROV Training course would only count towards getting a job in ROVs. However doing a hydraulics course, a fibre optics course and an electronic course would also all count towards getting a job in ROVs, but are still useful for getting work elsewhere.
First and foremost ROV personnel are there to repair and maintain the equipment. Then, you get to do some flying which is a skill you mainly can only learn on the job. This is why Employers mainly take people on who can repair and maintain electrical/electronic/hydraulic equipment.
Hands on experience will also always count more than theoretical pieces of paper. Degrees are not as useful as having a Degree, you are not taught to solder etc. You may be able to design a circuit but can you actually get your hands dirty and fix stuff.
The qualifications and experience you have would certainly look like you have a suitable background, but the jobs just are not there. Realistically no-one will be taking on trainees for the next year or two.
