Scuba Clean Inc., a St. Petersburg, has incurred a large sum of fines after failing to follow safety protocols.

The current charges against the company include a $200,900 fine that combines failures to provide sufficient safety equipment for divers, a failure to properly train divers before sending them into the water, and a failure to keep employees with divers on their dives to make sure that they are safe. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the company was willfully negligent in upkeeping its practices and equipment. To the deparment's definition, willful violators can be simply indifferent to changing after being warned of safety problems. Unless they work to change charges and violations, the violator is considered willful.

These circumstances has caused the administration to tally up Scuba Clean's 16 major hazards for a $53,900 fine in addition to the three citations of willful violations, which account for $147,000 of the total fine.
