If you've seen golf, you're aware that the ball can occasionally end up in the water. The duty of a golf ball diver is to search for golf balls that have fallen into the water.

Golf ball divers plunge into waters that occasionally include alligators and other perils in order to gather golf balls. Depending on whether they are independent contractors or are performing a paid service for a golf course, they either sell the balls or return them to the course. Being that this job is really challenging, golf ball divers get paid $50k-$100k annually.
