A dive operator in the Commonwealth of Dominica is recruiting a General Manager to take charge of its day-to-day operations, in a hire that points to continued activity in the island's marine tourism sector.
The business said it is looking for an experienced and motivated manager to join its dive shop team and take a leading role in running daily operations. The successful candidate will be expected to combine leadership of a team with oversight of the commercial side of the operation, which serves visiting divers and other marine recreation customers.
According to the operator, the ideal applicant will have strong leadership and team-management skills, be highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities, and possess excellent customer service and communication skills. The candidate should also be comfortable overseeing daily business operations and be proactive, reliable and solution-oriented.
Experience in management, hospitality, tourism or a related field is listed as a requirement. The operator described the post as an exciting opportunity to become an important part of a growing dive operation and to help lead its team both in and out of the water.
Applications are being accepted by telephone and email. Interested candidates are asked to send a CV or résumé together with a brief cover letter. The contact numbers provided are 767-235-2188 and 767-448-2188.
The vacancy comes as Dominica continues to position itself as a destination for diving and other nature-based tourism, a segment that draws on the island's reefs, marine life and coastal waters. Dive shops on the island typically serve visiting cruise passengers, stay-over visitors and local divers, and depend on managers who can coordinate staff, equipment, bookings and safety procedures.
For a small island economy, marine tourism businesses are part of a wider visitor industry that also includes hiking, whale-watching, and the island's annual carnival and cultural calendar. Operators in the sector often recruit staff with hospitality backgrounds, since the work combines technical diving knowledge with front-of-house service.
The advertisement did not disclose the name of the business, the location of the dive shop, or the salary and terms attached to the position. It also did not state a closing date for applications, indicating that enquiries are being handled directly by the operator.
The operator framed the role as one that combines leadership with a love of the ocean and a commitment to creating exceptional customer experiences. It invited candidates who fit the profile to make contact and apply.
Dominica's dive sector operates alongside the island's broader tourism economy, which includes cruise calls, guesthouses, tour operators and transport services. Hiring decisions in such businesses are closely watched locally because they provide employment in communities outside Roseau and Portsmouth.
Residents interested in the post have been directed to make direct contact with the operator rather than through any government employment service. The business said it is ready to hear from candidates who can lead the team, grow the business and share the adventure.
