I am new to the PADI instructor. But I have been a paramedic for 10 years as well as an instructor for all EMS classes. I am looking for any job leads anywhere in the world. Yes, I mean the world.
Thanks,

Hi Brian,
Welcomes to the exciting world of scuba instructors. Prepare yourself for a very rewarding career.
Anxious to get to work I see. I have sent an email to some friends of mine in St. Maarten and asked if they migth know of any scuba job openings. The trouble is, their season in coming to an end and it is sometimes difficult to have scuba diving job opportunites in their slow season.
The key to finding scuba jobs is not only knowing where to look, but also when to look. The best places to look will be in tropical resort areas where there are a lot of dive centers. The best time will be just before or at the beginning of their high season.
The first thing you need to do is make sure you have a good resume (CV). If you do not have one, we can help you put one together. Once you have a resume that you are happy with, it's time to start sending it out.
Two really good places to submit your resume to are jobs4divers and jobmonkey. They seem to always have good job listing.
I hope this information helps in your search for a scuba instrutor job. If there is anything else we can help with, just drop us an email.
