| 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 recent photo to
employment@spreeexpeditions.com. We are accepting
applications from both full-time and part-time/relief applicants.
