Either will do. The basics are the same no matter what. There are no need for fins, flashlights or foofoo items. We dive mainly in a drysuit with coveralls. We wear boots instead of fins. We work around steel and it wears quickly on unprotected neoprene. Working environment ranges from lakes, streams, watershed projects, swamps , containment ponds etc. you name it. Visability is non existant so you must be able to work in dark waters. Sometimes the current is moving at 3000 cfs sometimes its not moving at all. Right now the waters are warm and in the winter we dive in ice flow. Majority of our work is shore launch and then we do work from barges as well. We dive with fish, turtles, snakes and alligators and these we can see... god knows what else is there that we dont see. But the pay is above average and I love my job. So if you are able to be based out of the St. Louis area (this means that you must make it to the yard / shop when we leave out) then please contact me at the address provided and I will forward all the information to my boss as well.
Thank you
I hope this paints a better picture.
