Check with YOUR diving school, the Coast Guard, OSHA. Visit some local
Marina's and ask who they recommend to their slip holders. Find out where
they are working, go and watch. If your still interested . . . ask them for
a job. Even if they don't hire and train you, I'm sure they will tell you
why not. Then at least you will then have an idea of what you have to learn.

Interesting that you wondered if this was a joke and felt the need to
use capital letters in your reply. Was my inquiry so unusual?
It was someone who does this type of work that encouraged my sister to
look into it and he did offer to train. I just wanted to do a little
research on my own to find out if it is indeed a good way to make a
little money and get some experience in the water. As well as city girl
to explore a different way of life.
Thank you for your input.
