We offer:

• A Competitive Benefits Package, private accommodation, and full board. 

This is not a seasonal job or just for the summer, or a short period of time – it is a dedicated longer-term commitment, to make a real difference at the resort and ongoing Dive Operation - is what we are looking for.

It is important to realize and be aware that this position is within a resort and not limited to the dive shop only. You shall be an integrated part of the overall resort operation and part of the senior management team to ensure Waidroka delivers against all aspects (overall guest experiences, excursions, Wellness/Yoga, surfing, fishing, etc... at all times). 

You do not have to be a highly decorated instructor with a lot of specialties or certifications, you have to be a couple who understands the running and being in charge of a Dive Operation within a resort environment (understanding who we are as a resort delivering memorable experiences overall for all of our guests and covering all aspects of a dive vacation for guests, is what it’s all about). Guiding dives for individuals and groups is the majority of the 'dive-job' (we work with local Dive Masters and Instructors on staff). 

If you think you got what it takes – give it a shot. Outgoing, hands-on, “can do” attitude and always being a problem solver – are what we are looking for from experience.

Please send your application with a full CV, recent photos (please no pictures in dive gear or underwater), a short cover letter on why you are applying in the first place and think you would be suitable for the position, and your earliest possible start date.
