I'm a master diver from Kansas, and planning to head to Sarasota for the winter to snowbird before heading to Portland Oregon to start graduate school summer 2016. I want to get into hull cleaning in Florida and learn the trade, then get involved once I get to Oregon (part time) while I go to school. I'm interested in buying my own equipment and already own much of my own gear. Anyone needing any help with hull de-fouling, zinks, etc. look me up. I've been self employed for 22 years in Kansas, and have a bachelors degree in management and ethics. I'd like to work as a contractor/sub contractor doing hull cleaning, which is the only way to do it thanks to OSHA and the rest of the government red tape. I have done some reading on the nightmares of dealing with them on commercial diving. I should have mentioned that I have a Kansas State Safe boaters card which is required in order to rent boats here in certain circumstances. It was an all day course with exams.
