My father did a BUNCH of work building a pro-level garage for a tech diver who worked the Gulf of Mexico. He was the guy of last resort and charged unbelievable rates. Only worked a couple of days of month and the rest of his time was restoring a couple of classic muscle cars. The garage had a full height hoist and a ridiculous set of tools and a security system to match. Paid cash for everything too.

I gather that there are more sat divers than available work at the moment so the industry rates have taken a hit but if you're one of the true specialists (apparently the guy I know is one of two people with his skills in the world), you can really rake it in.
Don't they end up having to spend two weeks in decompression ffs?

I know somebody who charges anything up to £35k per day to hire him as a diver. Specialist ultra deep welding oil drilling equipment sort of stuff.
