[PSUBS-MAILIST] Commercial

[swaters]

Good information guys. I feel like my K boat is only good for a observation boat currently, until I design a good manipulator arm. It's a dream of mine to go into sub work for a living, but I probably ought to stay with what I am good at and keep growing retail stores to fuel my hobby. I really enjoy the little bit of low vis lake work I do a few times a year. Maybe some day an oprotunity will come up. 
Thanks,
Scott Waters

Prices range up from $3500/day (plus consumables) and more for a sub and crew with ship costs above that. If your customer supplies the vessel, they pay. If you arrange for it, then I'd say costs times 150% plus consumables at the least. For an observation sub/support vessel back in the day we charged $14K/day. Five years later HBOI was running $16K//day. Who knows how much it costs for Alvin today. Kittredge usually charged $1K/day if he could get it for a sub and pilot.

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
