So a buddy of mine is looking to repair a valve on a pool pump for an apartment complex. I was asked if I wanted to make some money putting a plug in the pool, so he can open the piping to replace a valve, without having to drain the whole pool. Don't have all the details, but shouldn't be hard. I'm guessing in the water 10-20 minutes, water for a while while he works, no clue how long, and in the water again to take plug back out.
I'm thinking asking $150-$200. You know, skilled specialized labor and all. Not many plumbers can get a scuba diver to help.

I wouldn’t even need to pull out my drysuit. 5mm would be sufficient.
Geez, you should be ashamed of yourself. |

$250 is my minimum fee for a dive. That includes 1 hour.

Keep in mind that this is going to be a gentleman's agreement sort of thing, so you're probably not going to get a real commercial wage out of it. If you want a commercial wage, you're going to have to deal with a bunch of regulations and OSHA gets involved and it's a pain in the ass.
I'd say ask for a hundred bucks so you don't look like you're trying to take advantage of him, and go grab lunch while he's doing his thing. |
