Employment
Are you someone who likes to have fun, works hard, and takes pride in knowing that your guests just had one of the best trips of their lives? Will you buy into our relentless focus on safety and process? Would you like to be part of a team that almost becomes like family, without any of the politics or backbiting common on some boats?

Current Openings
MATES
While we encourage our deckhands, hosties, and dive guides to upgrade to STCW, we also offer direct entry mate positions as chief officer. Leadership ability is important, and professionalism along with a focus on safety and processes are a must. You need to be the captain’s 2ic, whether it’s leading the deck team, standing night watch, or helping fill tanks. It’s even better if you have a strong desire to become a captain with us.
DIVE GUIDES
We don’t care how many dives you have. What matters most is your attitude and your fit with our culture of cheerfully working as long as it takes to give our guests the time of their lives while keeping everyone safe. Experienced and mature dive guides have found a long-term home here. Young individuals with 250 dives have worked super hard with us and are on their way to their mate’s tickets.
HOSTIES
Do you know what white glove service is? Do you have server and bar experience? That’s even better, but what matters most to us is a genuinely warm personality combined with super attention to detail. If you truly care about doing your best to ensure every detail of our guests’ experience goes just right, then send us your CV!
ENGINEERS
“Can you fix things? Are you happy to get your hands dirty? Do you want your engine room to be spotless and machinery working perfectly? If so, call or email us!”
CAPTAINS
Are you a good fit for what we do? Professional. Pragmatic. Safety-conscious while being centered on guest experience. A fair and even-handed manager responsible for smoothly running crew operations on multi-million dollar ships, reporting directly to the senior managers of the company? Will you buy into our processes and safety management systems? You need to be a scuba or free diver for sure. Being a captain is hard work but extremely rewarding, and we offer some of the highest wages of almost any dive liveaboard boat on the planet.
