Hull Cleaning Information

[fstbttms]

You should do a search for that on this forum. There is always some slimy outfit or another trying to lure unsuspecting recreational divers to their deaths, diving for golf balls. You wouldn't catch me within a mile of one of those cesspools. At least not without a HazMat suit on. Seriously.

Is the money good? I guess it can be. But you gotta rack up a whole friggin' lot of golf balls to make it pay. From my standpoint, hull cleaning is way safer and pays waaay better.

Oh. Haha. Well the guy here paid 60 an hour no matter how many balls.... It does sound gross and dangerous!

Here is a recent thread about golf ball retrieval diving. Not surprisingly, the OP gives very little information about the actual work:

Aha. He didn't wana give any details over that thread!!! They also sound big and shady...

The one here, all though still gross is a small guy that' sounds nice... Worth looking into... Nothing wring with buying hazmatt

How can the guy pay $60/hour, regardless of how many balls are retrieved? Hell, just go to the nearest WalMart, buy a case of balls and bring one into the guy every day! "Yeah, I was in the water for 5 hours today!" Easy money!

Haha...true. I'm bot totally sure how it works by I thought that's what I heard... I also would dive with the guy. During summer he jar hires another hand so I would dive with him.... No telling fins about how many balls their

Well, the guy must be doing land office business if he can pay a helper sixty bucks an hour.
