[PSUBS-MAILIST] Commercial

[swaters]

I know we have some retired commercial divers in psubs. What kind of work is out there for subs like ours realistically. I know in order to be effective we need tooling and manipulators. What are the benifits from the employer to use a sub rather that divers? 
Thanks,
Scott Waters

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

Makes sence Brian. How do you know what to charge for stuff like that? Is there some kind of industry standard for per hour sub work or any kind of guidelines? Maybe a combination of diver and sub together with comms doing tasks?
Thanks,

Hi Scott,
                I think they do pick up odd jobs here and there.  I know they do the fish count out here by the Channel Islands, which is some sort of government related survey of different species of fish around the oil platforms.  Seems like a highly unscientific and random kind of survey but I guess it's better that no survey.  You can see them on youtube counting fish from the sub.  I tried to get some info from those guys, since they used to be based a few miles from me, but they were not interested in sharing any information.   I think the best way is to create your own work.

How does delta oceanographics find work? Do they just wait for people to find their web site or just through their connections in the past? 
How does a group like that charge for work? 
This is a realm I know nothing about and would love to learn more about.
Thanks,
Scott Waters
