Tanks and safety equipment will be provided. No heavy drinkers, please. Preference given to archaeologists but will consider professionals from other marine sciences . No excavations planned. Work will consist of swimming lines, circle and other systematic searches for target investigation, video, and diver-driven sediment coring. I will consider training appropriate candidates who already have AAUS cert.
OPS position through University of Florida is $20 per hour (approx. $200) per day with two 2-day missions per week. Maximum 40 hours per week over 4 days of work.
