| Liveaboard Employment Opportunities |
Our liveaboard dive charter vessel carries a crew of 8 including Captain,
Mate, 2 Divemasters, chef, steward, tank filler/naturalist, and photo pro. Every
position requires a person dedicated to excellent customer service with a
commitment to quality. Our jobs are not your normal 8-5…most positions work long
hours with varying responsibilities. We operate 7 days a week, so employees may
be offshore for days or weeks at a time. Every crew member must be able to live
and work in close quarters with the other crew members and guests. All
safety-sensitive personnel and full-time employees are subject to random drug
testing.
Our charters vary widely—from recreational diving to deep technical expeditions.
We also support university and government sponsored research and monitoring
surveys and diving charters. Crew members have the opportunity to dive on most
charters. We recommend a minimum of open water certification for all crew, and
require supervisory-level certification for our Captain and all dive staff
positions.
If you are interested in joining our crew, please e-mail your resume and a
