 That will change once they get into school. Once they learn that they
 have to have their own compressers, volume tanks, dive hoses, and
 gas racks, not to mention the specialized equipment for what ever
 job they are contracted to do. Plus the A.D.C. (Association of Diving
 Contactors) requires two Decompression Chambers for each Job location.
 A good used one will cost only $40,000.
 I do not have any others interested

 Yes I know. I read about open water divers getting killed all the time
 trying to make extra money as a commercial diver. It's a real shame.
 Some business man is trying to save some bucks by talking a scuba
 diver into doing something that is way out of his league. I guess it's
 hard to turn down some guy that is flashing $300.00 in you face just to
 make this little dive. It ends up costing the bussiness man tons of money
 in the end if the diver gets hurt or killed because the law suits fly after
 that.
