I am currently researching the operation of a dive boat in DR waters. Can someone please advise on any of the following:

1. What permits I might require and where I would go to obtain them.
2. What legal red tape I will need to deal with in the setup and operation of such a boat.
3. Any special certifications the boat may require.
4. Any special training, certifications the staff may require.
5. Would this be treated the same as any other conventinal business as far as the gov't is concerned? i.e. I will have a cell phone and my office will be on the boat. I will not have an office on dry land.

I'm more concerned with operating a boat with passengers, and not as concerned about the diving component.

Any information that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
