How much? Well, in most regions of the world, an awful lot less than in 2017, unfortunately...
 
Not enough. But when I was near it, about $1400/day in the GOM. What if I told you that for the same $45k you spend on comm dive school & gear I could put you in an industry that will make you a millionaire in 36 months.

I'd assume you were a liar/scammer or the industry was less than legal and move on down the road. I probably wouldn't be inclined to buy your book on the topic, either. :wink:

There's always outliers of course. Somehow Chip and Joanna Gaines made 20 million bucks renovating houses in a somewhat undesirable area of Texas. Doesn't mean I'm trading in my keyboard for a paint roller any time soon.

Are we talking something ethical or becoming a politician? :wink:
 
I don’t think money is the only or best way to value working underwater, I got 210 euro to service two yacht moorings today but I also had my lunch at 1 o’clock with my family.

You’d be wrong on all counts. I could show you the math, but without taking five minutes to look at my books, you’d never believe it. I’ve helped half a dozen people duplicate what I’ve done in the last 12 months (for free)

Prior to buying a dive shop recently, I worked about 4 hours per month. We typically fly to lunch :)

So you need a partner you say...

I don't mind working if I like the job. I also want an honest wage with enough to retire but also have my fun. I know I'm not alone but things like this feel like an infomercial. No offense just untrusting..

but your welcome to PM and share :wink:
