It's the kind of business where you want to employ people to work for you. You go drum up the business and contracts and have others go do the hard work and face the hazards. You make decent money and they get paid little for their efforts. After all, manual labor is fairly easy to come by.
The problem is you normally have to have some knowledge and train people about the business. Hence, you would have to have done it first. I think people see this as some kind of scoop and grab easy money thing. If it were that easy, contracts wouldn't be easy to come by.
On a side note, I have a friend who runs a pool cleaning and repair business. Since draining pools isn't always an option, he has asked if I could help him do some projects underwater via scuba. To me, working in a pool is a million times better than working in some scummy pond filled with a ton of hazards. Then again, this is a side thing, not a full-time gig.
