I dove for golf balls a few years ago.
My perspective:
If it weren't for the chemicals, rotting algae, and the ever so pleasant decomposing semi-liquid goose poo it's a great job. By the time I dealt with and paid for fills, got to the site, got kitted up, mucked around in the nasty for a few hours, and cleaned up my gear, I ended up making about $15 bucks an hour. I tried a few courses thinking that maybe I just hadn't found the motherlode. But they were pretty much all the same.
When I was 16 I would have jumped at the chance to make $15 per hour doing anything. Now I'm not sure there is a price that would get me back onto the goose poo milk shake.
Of course, YMMV
Best,
Hunter
