There's a course by me that neighbors salt water canals. A friend of mine use to dive and sometimes drag a net on the bottom of these canals. He made a few bucks. (man, there must be a lot of crappy golfers out there).

I have no experience in golf ball retrieval, however I do have experience in doing math. If those guys with the roller came up with 14,000 balls...at 5 cents apiece...that's only $700. Even 150 balls is only $75. Shoot, you can't even replace the damage that it sounds like it does to your gear for $75...even on eBay.
I imagine it would be dangerous doing this solo, but like everyone has said there is no viz, so even if a problem arises it's probably not likely you'll be finding your buddy. Would it be any worse diving these solo rather than with a buddy?
