OK, well the bit about thru-hulls is completely irrelevant. But as far as saltwater hull diver safety goes, it simply isn't an issue. It just isn't. Can you get buzzed? Yeah, that can happen (but very rarely.) But nobody ever gets hurt or killed in a saltwater marina due to stray current.

Umm... not really. In freshwater it's a risk. In saltwater, not so much. In fact, not really at all.

Is there a law or regulation in the U.S. requiring scuba certification for tank fills?

Great place to go if student deaths and school accreditation issues aren't something you're concerned about... :rofl3:

Last week I got two calls from Bodega Bay boat owners. One of them had two powerboats, 40' and 49'. I initially turned him down because we don't service Bodega Bay. Then he asked me what it would take to get us up there. I told him that I'd send one of my divers up for $1300 and get both boats...

Did you sell the business?

I paid my top diver $106K last year for hull cleaning in the SF Bay Area. But you guys go ahead and work two or three jobs and complain how there's no way to make a living in the water... :rofl3:

I just sent you a DM.

You should be asking this question in one of the many hat diver groups on Facebook. Much, MUCH more active than ScubaBoard for this kind of thing.

A buddy of mine needs divers for his hull cleaning service in Huntington Beach. Signing bonus of $100/month for the first year and a 10% pay premium as a performance bonus for 200+ feet per day. Company boat and fuel provided. Let me know if you're interested and I'll put you in touch with him...

The question is; how many die (traditional snorkelers vs. users of this contraption) because the equipment itself is dangerous.

People hardly ever die using those. :D

In the U.S. there are no regulations or restrictions anywhere about the fouling growth that is removed from pleasure craft hulls while in the water. There are however, some states and local areas that regulate the type of anti fouling paint that can be cleaned in-water. In fact, the Port of San...

Of course it will.

You have experience?

Where are you located?

It appears to be unvented, correct? With which mask do you use it?

The Bare is working pretty well although I find that the vent does let a fair amount of water in. The K01 just will not work as the face opening is a little too large for my OTS Spectrum mask to seal properly. I tried one of my old Otter Bay hoods but it was so tight at the chin that I couldn't...
