Joe,
I clean my own bottom too. It was well worth the investment in dive gear
and training. I can clean the bottom before each race and not worry about
the expense. The going rate around here is anywhere from $1.50 to $2.00 a
foot, unless the bottom is really fouled. Then plan on spending more.
I clean the bottom every day at Screwpile. The water is clear enough to see
what I'm doing, unlike the lower Chesapeake...

I have paid anyplace between $60 and $150, depending on who does it and how
dirty the boat is. I have my own gear too, but my wife is convinced I'll get
a horrible disease from swimming in the marina. She only wants me cleaning
the boat up at the yacht club or some other semi-clean place. So far the
worst I have had is an ear infection from Weems Creek and barnacle cuts that
get infected. Please do NOT clean the bottom without gloves. Those cuts
always get red and take a long time to heal :(
