I've been on a few (fishing) charters where the skipper was also the dive master. I'm not sure if it is federal or state laws.

I saw this mob mob last year doing a weeks work on Middle Percy. They were doing a great job, but if the skipper is also expected to do the volunteer job as well, it won't be worth the 70k in my opinion (unless it was treated as a semi retirement job in which case is very good money and a noble cause).

Yeah, I thought it was a bit light on for the job ask.
