You're right to<br> estimate relative to similar activities. You have to<br> cover your basic operational costs, your time and what the<br> sub itself could charge per hour or per job. Degree of<br> difficulty and also degree of risk<br> involved.

How do you know what to charge<br> for stuff like that? Is there some kind of industry standard<br> for per hour sub work or any kind of guidelines? Maybe a<br> combination of diver and sub together with comms doing<br> tasks?Thanks,Scott Waters<br> <br> <br> <br> Sent from my U.S. Cellular©<br> Smartphone <br> Brian Cox <brian@ojaivalleybeefarm.com> wrote:<br> Hi<br> Scott, <br> I think they do pick up odd jobs here and there. I<br> know they do the fish count out here by the Channel Islands,<br> which is some sort of government related survey of different<br> species of fish around the oil platforms. Seems like a<br> highly unscientific and random kind of survey but I guess<br> it's better that no survey. You can see them on<br> youtube counting fish from the sub. I tried to get<br> some info from those guys, since they used to be based a few<br> miles from me, but they were not interested in sharing any<br> information. I think the best way is<br> to create your own<br> work.
