Diver & Tender prevailing wage, Washoe County group, Nevada (13 counties)

Labor Commissioner sets the same commercial diver rates, row for row, in 13 counties: Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey, Washoe and White Pine. Every figure on this page applies in each of them.

$123.27an hour, fringe benefits included · Diver-Diving

One rate, fringe benefits included (Labor Commissioner prints no split) · Union rate · Amendment 01, effective 2026-10-13

On Nevada public works in each of these 13 counties, a commercial diver working as diver-diving must be paid at least $123.27 an hour. Labor Commissioner prints one rate with fringe benefits included, so there is no separate base wage.

Labor Commissioner 2026-2027 rates (Oct 1, 2026), effective October 1, 2026. On a bid contract, the rates in effect when bids are opened apply until the contract ends or for 36 months (NRS 338.030(9)). Checked against labor.nv.gov on October 25, 2026.

Labor Commissioner lists 3 commercial diver rates for each of these counties, from $73.28 to $123.27 an hour. See all of them.

One rate, fringe benefits included: $123.27

Labor Commissioner publishes a single hourly figure that already includes fringe benefits. A contractor can pay it all as wages, or pay part as contributions to bona fide benefit plans for the worker, as long as the two add up to at least $123.27. Labor Commissioner doesn't publish a base and fringe split, so this page doesn't invent one.

Zone pay on top of this rate: Zone 2 (Between 75 to 150 road miles) +$6.00; Zone 3 (Between 150 to 300 road miles) +$7.00; Zone 4 (In excess of 300 road miles) +$8.00
