This was our first time scuba diving. We dove with Eagle Ray Divers in Cozumel, Mexico on April 19, 2007 and are probably among the few Hyderabadis to have tried it …and hopefully we’ll try to change that. This is one adventure you should try at least once in your life time. The video was shot using Sony HDR HC1 by Miguel (cozumeldigitalcreations@yahoo.com).

I am a certified PADI diver looking to crew on a dive boat in the Florida Keys. How much would a low level crew member make (not dive instructor-just basic crew). Are you paid only when the boat goes out?

No dive outfit would hire just a "basic crewperson". They'd want you to be at least a Dive Master or above. It's called killing two birds with one stone. One body on the boat doing two jobs instead of two bodies doing those jobs. Space is at a premium on any charter boat.
You'll then be paid what the going rate is for that cert level and demand, in that area and your level of experience. It may be 12-20 bucks an hour it may be a flat rate per trip. Then there's tips.
