Your pay is based on how much experiance you have. thats what sets the value.
Top hands make top money the rest get whats left over.
Union hands make scale, Open shop make $25.00 + per hr.
You have to talk with the company and see what they are willing to pay.
Newbies get the crumbs.

As A Baby Diver In Offshore .. day rate between 250USD - 350 USD. No idea about inland Diver's rate.

inland, it all depends who you work for. non union, you probably won't get paid crap. Around most major cities there are union dive companies, and it varies on how easy/hard it is to get a job for one. be prepared for seasonal ups and downs. I'm in my 3rd year, making $26/hr, about to jump to $30/hr soon. I've had 75 hour weeks, and then weeks where I work one day and collect unemployment. Just don't expect a constant cashflow all the time unless you give up your life entirely.

I've never worked offshore. you lucky bastards who get to see what you're doing (at least most of the time)...
