Scuba Diving Jobs in the Caribbean

by Catherine V. Duffy
(New York, NY )

I am looking to get a job with a dive shop who will train me to become a dive master for their boat. I am certified as an Advance Diver and to dive with Nitrox and currently have 35 logged dives and know it's what I want to do as a profession. I have lived in NYC my whole life where I went to college and got my masters in Business. After bartending during my college years, I managed law firms for the last 7 years, I feel giving me the type of experience that could certainly help in your marketing & sales departments until you feel I am qualified to be a divemaster. I am planning to take a wreck diving course and a Rescue diving course in the next month or so. Please contact me either with information on positions you may have open or another dive shop you might recommend to me.


Thank you,


Catherine Duffy

Hi Catherine,


Choosing to enter the world of professional diving this way is a wise decision. I've always felt the Divemaster Internship Program is one of the best ways to start a scuba career. Not only do you get the academic training, you will learn by doing. On-hands experience (on the job training) is used in many professional career training programs.


The Caribbean is a great place to look for an internship program. It is a very popular dive destination and many dive shops use internship programs to train divemasters for jobs in their shop. The also encourage their divemasters to think about getting their instructor certification.


With your qualifications, you would be a great asset to any dive shop. Your management back ground is a big plus. Any diving speciality courses (like the wreck diver speciality course) will be an advantage, also.


And, I will help you any way I can to find an internship program that will help yhou find a scuba job. I'll be in touch via email to work out the details.


Cheers,


Jim
