If you are a boat owner in need of a dive service or a hull cleaner looking for new clients, I have created a Facebook group designed to put the two of you together. A bulletin board where boaters can post "help wanted" ads and divers can advertise their businesses. Hundreds of hull cleaners are already members and are waiting to provide you with great underwater services!

The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has convinced itself that as part of it's quest to reduce the copper load in Newport Beach, it will restrict and regulate hull cleaning. This despite a consulting scientist's finding that the bay is within limits and life is flourishing. Sigh.

Silly question here - What constitutes a "good diver" in your opinion?

One who does what he says he will, when he says he's going to do it and at the price for which he said he would do it.

I was expecting to hear something more along the lines of someone who can recognize impending problems like a worn cutlass bearing & predict the amount of life left in your bottom paint, but I'll accept those three basic qualities as a valid criteria set.

Thanks for the reply.

In the boat maintenance biz (and especially the hull cleaning end of it), the bar is not set particularly high.

I have no real experience in that realm, which is why I asked. Thank you for improving my perspective.
