A Dominican dive operator has announced vacancies for a certified dive master, a dive instructor and reliable boat crew, opening the door for qualified marine tourism workers to join its team.
The announcement, published as a vacancy notice, calls for candidates who can handle the waves — a clear signal that the operator is looking for people with practical sea experience, not only formal certification. Applications are being invited immediately.
The notice lists three roles: boat crew, dive instructor and certified dive master. Each carries its own responsibilities, though the operator has grouped them under a single hiring drive, suggesting it is staffing up for the season ahead.
For the dive master and instructor posts, certification is a firm requirement. A certified dive master is expected to lead dives, supervise divers and assist with training, while a dive instructor takes on teaching and certification duties. Boat crew, by contrast, are the backbone of any dive operation — handling lines, tanks, safety checks and the day-to-day running of the vessel.
The call for crew who can handle the waves points to the conditions around Dominica, where Atlantic swells and open-water crossings are part of the working day. Reliability is named as a key quality, alongside the ability to work on the water.
Diving is a small but important part of Dominica's tourism product. The island's volcanic coastline, drop-offs and marine life draw visiting divers, and the sector depends on trained local staff to operate safely. Operators must meet international safety standards, which is why certification matters for the senior roles.
The vacancies also reflect the wider labour picture in the marine and tourism economy, where seasonal demand for trained crew rises and falls with the cruise and stay-over seasons. For young Dominicans looking to build a career at sea, a dive master or instructor certification can open doors to work on the island and elsewhere in the Caribbean.
The announcement does not state a deadline, salary or the name of the operator. Interested persons are directed to apply, with the notice urging candidates to anchor the opportunity today.
Applicants for the certified positions will need to show valid dive certifications, while boat crew candidates should be able to demonstrate reliability and comfort working in open water. The operator has not said how many posts are available.
Dominica's dive community is closely tied to the island's broader marine sector, which includes fisheries, water sports and the yachting trade. Training and certification for dive professionals are typically obtained through recognised international agencies, and local operators often look for crew with both papers and sea time.
The vacancy notice was issued as a public announcement, and the operator is inviting applications directly. No further details on terms or conditions were provided.
