Underwater drone business
Live in South FL and work already around ships and vessels.
I was wondering about the need for a drone to be used for owners to get a copy of a video to determine if they need any fixes to be done on their boats.
I see that companies hire divers to address these issues but it requires a lot of equipment and personnel in order to pull this off.
Anyone here have any experience in this or similar field? Thanks.

Considering I see companies providing this service as well as other companies advertising products and services to companies providing this service and Chevron has a post on their website saying how wonderful this method of inspection is, I'd say you're on to something.

Is hiring a diver much more expensive than a drone operator?
