What do most Scuba divers do for a living?

[Laurie S.]

I'm a professional archaeologist and have my own company, which allows me the ability to take off and go diving. Unfortunately, when I go I also have to have internet access so I can keep in touch with my company and do work.

I work for the gubment. They better hurry up and pass a budget, i'm not very keen on getting paid in IOUs and having all my planned vacation time cancelled.

I now a project manager that allows me to travel the world. If there is an ocean nearby, I will try to find time to dive. In another 14 years, I will begin my two passions in life besides my family. Assisting on a dive boat on the Kona Coast to get wet and spending time as a volcanologist studying Kilauea.

Safe diving

Administrator/Funds Manager of the National Navy SEAL Museum. I love the Military community, and I get to meet, celebrate and preserve military history. It's the coolest job I've ever had and hope to keep it. HooYah!

I've been in the vending business for almost 15 years. Everybody uses vending machines somehow someway. I started running a route, then became a route supervisor, then technician, then service manager and now operations manager. Looking forward to finding a way to work less and dive/surf more. Wish me luck!

I am a marine biologist, spent a lot of time working on the west coast of Canada in different capacities for a couple of universities when i got my B.Sc. two years ago. Then made the "smart" decision to continue into graduate school on the east coast of Canada. Currently, i make sure that lobster behave themselves.

By smart i mean intellectually, not financially

If your lucky enough you do what you love to do best...dive. How many people can say they have a passion and a love for their work? Get up in the morning looking forward what the day brings?
Granted it's dangerous and no one who dive's for a living really can't say they have never been in a near death situation, but there's something you can't trade in life that people can only dream of. See you underwater!

I agree. My second job I have is only 4 hours per dive but its in the local aquarium here. I have to agree though its paradise!

Oh, I would love to volunteer at the Jenks aquarium. It's just too far away to make any commitment.
