Acquiring a scuba job abroad as an instructor or divemaster generally demands a significant amount of training and accreditation. While different countries will vary in their exact requirements, you will most often be expected to be certified as an advanced open water diver, rescue diver, divemaster, and emergency first responder at the base level. This can require up to several months of training; thereafter the more experience you have, the higher level position you can typically look to fill.
Once you have earned the necessary qualifications, the skillset can take you anywhere in the world. There a diversity of different types of scuba jobs abroad that you can look for, ranging from working as a dive instructor to owning a dive shop to assisting in scientific research (or any combination thereof). You will also have the option of either looking for work with an existing agency, or else launching your own private venture.
Visa requirements and salaries for scuba jobs abroad will vary between countries, with pay also largely depending on the amount of experience you have and how much you choose to work. In general don’t expect to make away with a king’s ransom, but look on the bright side – you’re getting paid to do what you love!
