Thanks for watching. The coral worms and other underwater biological fouling will float to the bottom to be eaten by the bottom feeders such as snails and crabs. If the water is above 75 degrees Fahrenheit, there are always more organisms floating around in the water that attach to the hull within days and begin growing.

@roncollett4524 my wetsuit is positively buoyant so I use fins to position and my buoyancy to stick to the boat.

Well…apparently lots of finesse and skill. Thanks!

First make sure you are comfortable underwater. Research and watch videos. Make sure you are covered by liability insurance and have all required documents for where you are going to be working. Join the Business of In Water Hull Cleaning group on Facebook and use the search feature when you have a question about something. Get to know every part of all types of boat hulls. Low visibility shouldn't be too much of a factor. If you can't see, move slow and use the eyes on your fingertips to "see" what you are doing.

@dailydiversboatservices6854 thank you, I'm pretty comfortable underwater. I grew up diving. I just haven't done this type of work before. I want to do something I'm passionate about and make a living from it. I will look into insurance and all the documents I need and do research around the marinas. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

Post a wanted ad here. You'll find someone. facebook.com/groups/1152289711611226/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

You two should just get a room.

There's only 1 of me but thanks.😎

Yes. The barnacles travel by attaching to whales.

Would be great to see both fore and aft of the propeller. Am I right the growth is different ?

The rate for hull service varies depending on where you are located. I recommend monthly service only, and if a potential client wants a hull cleaned that has not been serviced in a number of months, then multiply the monthly rate by the number of months since last service, charge accordingly. To be able to provide the highest level of service and to stay on top of any corrosion issues and fix them before they cause damage to underwater metals, it is important to go under monthly. Two or more months of neglect may lead to costly damage and repairs. Also be sure to document everything each time you service a vessel. The diver and boat owner should know exactly how long each anode lasts, when the anodes were last replaced, the condition of the antifouling, if there is any active or past corrosion, are all bonding wires connected and in good condition, etc..

I see this is at least 1 yr old, but I figured I'd comment as well. I'm thinking about a boat cleaning business as well in the Tampa/clearwater area. Open water certified as well. Any tips? Pointers?

Biological fouling on boat hulls is hard to remove, both above water and underwater.

It's hard for me too.

Sunmight is good sandpaper. You can also use sanding screens and coarse grit belt sander sandpaper. I love shiny metal!

What grit was it?

You should look up the definition of a professional diver

@@StephenAlexanderVideos oh, why is that?

@@garlandgarrett6332 Anyone paid for their diving services is considered a professional.

@@StephenAlexanderVideos no, they are considered commercial, and they should be following subchapter T .What are your qualifications?

I truly can't tell if you're actually this dumb commercial diving is also professional diving either way if you're paid you're considered a professional literally google "What is a professional diver" it'll save you a lot of embarrassment in the future. Maybe you're too young to know that but you should have figured it out at least an hour ago when I told you to look it up but now you're just embarrassing yourself. It is entertaining for sure don't get me wrong life would be very boring without dumb people.
