[@kratos823]

how do i get this job?

[@MrAquaImage]

Take classes in marine biology. Learn to scuba dive and become highly competent. Start researching companies, schools, etc. that use collectors. Talk to people there and see if you can get an entry level job. Getting a job like this takes work most of the time. Nobody is going to hand it to you.
