PADI OWSI Wanted to Lead Summer Dive Programs for Teens

Dive instructors lead Open Water and Advanced Open Water courses, while acting as role models to students on our trips.

Instructors are expected to be flexible team players that foster a fun, safe environment for students to thrive and explore new places, cultures and activities.

For our Caribbean programs, dive instructors will be paired with a marine biologist, a skipper or another dive instructor to lead liveaboard programs. These programs are based out of St. Martin. Students and instructors live on catamarans and monohulls, so previous experience living in close quarters is a plus.

For our World programs, dive instructors lead programs in different locations, including teaching more advanced diving skills, conducting field research or assisting with a more academic, marine biology-based program. These programs may include both land-based and live-aboard experiences.

For both program types, Instructors supervise students 24/7, facilitate positive group dynamics, lead games and assist students with cooking and cleaning duties.
