I am a marine surveyor and thus have to survey various types of vessels and marine facilities. Sometimes there is a need to hire divers to review a hull or running gear without hauling the vessel. Heres my question, what level of dive education do I need to do an occasional dive on a ship or dock to take some pics without having to pay a full blown commercial diver? I have done ships husbandry diving in college, but as I get older, and more educated as a diver, I am becoming way more conservative. Currently I have an advanced and nitrox cert. While there are commercial dive schools, they seem way more indepth than I need. I cannot see going below 50 feet, and would not need to communicate with the surface or anything, so no hard hat diving. Just scuba.
