EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIE$ WITH THE "FRIENDLIEST DIVE SHOP ON EARTH"

ABOUT THIS OPENING
We’re looking for PADI Instructors with ATTITUDE! 
Let’s be clear, we’re talking about having the RIGHT ATTITUDE.  One befitting a scuba dive operation that has been called (by our customers) “The Friendliest Dive Shop on Earth”

DIVING ON ST CROIX
When we say “world class diving under the U.S. flag” we can back it up.
There’s only 2 places in the Caribbean where you can dive:

A wall.  It’s 13,200′ deep and vertical in places

A reef.  The largest living reef of any of the Caribbean islands

A wreck.  5 of them within 100 yards of each other

A pier.  An amazing dive by day and absolutely fantastic at night

We’re the only one that’s under the U.S. flag.  What does that mean?

NO Passport required to travel here

USCG Inspected dive boats

USCG certificated Captains

Same electricity

Same currency

Same language

WEATHER

As you can imagine it’s pretty darned good year round.
September is the peak of Hurricane season for this part of the world but we’re really good at preparing for them.  Winter (mid January into February) winds can occasionally kick it up a bit and that makes things on our north shore somewhat “sporty”.  Fortunately with two dive boats, one is always on the leeward side of the island so we can always find calm waters.

AIR TEMPS
Seldom above 90f / 32c
All time record low 62f / 17c

WATER TEMPS
Up to 86f / 30c during the summer
Normally no colder than 77f /25c in winter

DIVING WITH US
For certified divers we offer a fully valet diving experience.  We pretty much do everything for our guests from setting their gear up, changing it over between dives, and rinsing and storing it for them after diving to leading them on underwater tours with very low ratios of dive guides to guests.

We’re a Scubapro Platinum dealer and use their dive gear exclusively as our rental gear though it’s only “rented” to divers who aren’t diving with us, as it’s provided on a complimentary basis to anyone diving with or taking training from us.

Our dive crew are always first into and last out of the water and they conduct fully guided tours.
While the divers are underwater our Captain (who remains aboard at all times) is carving up fresh fruit and getting bottled water ready for the guests’ return to the boat.  They’re offered an ice cold local beer after the day’s diving is done.

For students we’re a full PADI IDC facility so we teach the full range of PADI courses from Discover Scuba Diving through Professional levels.  We have a full time PADI Course Director on staff.

All of our Confined Water teaching is done in the calm, shallow waters directly across the street from our west shore (Frederiksted) location, about 50 steps from the water.  This training area is adjacent to the famous Pier so that students get to continue their training at an amazing dive site.
