Like most Monday's Dave Miller suits up for work.

Only, minus the jacket and tie.

And this isn't your typical commute to the office. The lush greens of the Waikele golf course are where Miller does business.

But where most golfers avoid, he heads straight for.

"Yeah and this lake there's not fish, but normally fish would be my coworkers."

Water hazards where one miss-swing can send a golf ball to the bottom.

That's where Miller comes in.

His job.a golf-ball diver.

Miller gets in gear and heads into the murky - deep to pick-up thousands of golf balls.

But, below the surface, he can't see anything. So he let's his hands do the searching.

"That's what I used to think when I first started doing this, was it's kinda like an underwater easter egg hunt," said Miller.

No gators, no snakes...only lots and lots of dirt.

"I could do a lake of this size, when I could see within minutes, now I can't see anything there's 3 feet of mud the balls are hidden in."

It's a dirty job and an odd job...but somebody's got to do it.

"Oh yeah it seems kinds neat but actually that waters dark and cold and he's got a wetsuit on, it's one of those after you think about it, not so good."

He even comes across a few broken clubs...from not so happy golfers.

"Cause I think this is probably a putter, most of the time they are putters."

Miller has been doing this line of work the past 15-years. But warns kids, don't try this at your neighborhood course.

"People like that who are going to jump the fence at night they are trespassing and they're hurting my business, hurting my means of survival."

Like a creature from the black lagoon...he emerges.

"Well if I do this 5 more times today then, yeah, it will be an alright day."

"Ten balls weigh a pound so that's convenient for figuring out the math i'm dealing with pennies."

"With expense of shipping, equipment, the time effort, cleaning, chemicals it ends up being probably about a nickle profit per ball."

That's about 2 thousand balls for every 100 bucks.

"This is about 800 balls right now."

So while golfers are enjoying their afternoon, his job is only just beginning.

"They try all day to put it in a hole and they can't put it there so I don't think they're going to hit me."
