The problem is that OSHA requires ALL diving jobs for hire to be a three man dove team. So, unless all three divers are owners, you’re screwed in several ways.

OSHA can't require someone who is not subject to OSHA to follow OSHA's regs. Individuals doing business are not required to be under OSHA for work they themselves perform.

I am not sure what type of work you are doing, but, if you are working for a legitimate company, no one in the marine business will hire you without insurance. In Florida, there is a employee leasing work around, where you "lease" your employees, and the leasing company carries the insurance, and charges you a percentage of your payroll.
