On a related question, Assume somone is diving for an organization like an aquarium and the dives, such as cleaning tanks, are nominally commercial dives. Does this mean that they must be (or become) a member of the UBS union? Does it mater if they are employed or volunteers?
What about the same question for diving that is just observational, such as underwater photography, videography, or just a buddy for someone preforming these observational tasks?
P.S. The aquarium I have volunteered at had rules set so that both scientific and OSHA standards were met for all dives so they didn't have to worry about classifications. I'm not sure how this worked, but I would have thought there were some conflicts between the two.
