Here's one many think is glamorous at first:
Scuba boat bottom cleaner
1. Pay for expensive scuba lessons and buy all your own gear up front worth thousands and then tear it up diving in filthy water while you pee on yourself-the joys of self employment
2. scraping barnacles off the propeller hoping the owner does not forget you are there and turn the key (listening for the whine of ignition the whole time)
3. Barnacles are like razor pieces of shell that shatter when you scrape them off the hull and float around. Then as you move your scuba suit sucks them in and they work back and forth cutting you to ribbons as you work
4. You are swimming out to boats in heavy tides but can’t really use a diver down flag for protection since the pole will scrape up the boat sides (tumblehome) so you are dodging boats in the lanes who don’t see your head poking above the water. And If you drop something (heavy zinc sacrificial anode half or bolt for screw) or tool its usually gone and you eat the cost and anger the boat owner for the delay
5. Unplannable sudden squalls or strong winds makes you have to cancel or risk get knocked out by a keel to the face, boat bottom to the top of the head or keel bottom smashing your foot against the bottom where you hope to regain consciousness again before your air runs out.
6. many other issues from boat never being where they say it is, they lie about the length to cheat you, boat is gone on scheduled day cause they went fishing or running out of air and holding your breath to finish the job.
7. Chasing the boat owners for money when the club or marina where the boats are won’t even officially let you in. Driving home covered in your own piss because the marinas never let you shower there and dont even like you around because you cut into their business hauling boats
