I'm $250 a hour for industry consulting
Interesting that you from the dive center of the world, Georgia that your knowledge and efforts are only are worth $250.00 an hour!
Currently I am billing $475.00 an hour. However, I have the largest diving reference library in the US and have considerably more experienced since I began consulting/professional witnessing in 1962
You get what you pay for
And you have to start some where...but $250.00 an hour?

Seriously, the snide was needed? Why?
I am not from Georgia, I currently live there.
22 years in industry, resort, dive shop, specialty consulting and sales to mega yachts, rep for a few major and few not so major brands, ran one start up that has a good rep, doing a second start up now. Also have some knowledge of the agency side, was a NAUI rep, Board member for a short while and current Advisory Panel for International Training.
No question you have a more impressive resume, more experience and so forth.You should command more,especially if somebody is looking for a more historically based view of the industry. I'm pretty up on current trends, where we are headed versus where most of the industry wants us to be (back in 1989). For those that want that, I suspect that they would be getting a bargain at $475 a hour. If somebody wants to try and position for the future, as a shop or brand, I am probably undercharging. Then again, I like helping people
