Description
Our next opening is from the beginning of July. Please reach out to us if this aligns with your availability!
*** PLEASE ONLY WRITE TO US, IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE FOR 5 WEEKS OR MORE ***
We are living in the most beautiful part of Gozo, Malta. Here we run our freediving school and B&B; right by the cliffs and with the ocean at the end of our street. We were lucky enough to find a wonderful 300 year old farmhouse on the outskirts of Gozo to make our home, and being extremely busy creating our dream, we really need help with everyday tasks making ends meet in our home. We have holistic backgrounds and visions to better the future together.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Gozo is a small Island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. A great holiday destination for everyone, where nothing is far away. Gozo has a very interesting history, and with its historic sites, architecture, culture, entertainment, unique nature, beaches and incredible snorkel and dive sites, Gozo has it all. We at Innerdive are originally from Denmark, but the freediving center and B&B are hubs for meeting new people from all over the world. There is ample opportunity to learn and practice different languages, and the possibility of cultural exchange and making new friends are a great part of the experience here :)
You will learn about local marine life and history and if you like yoga and meditation you will be given the opportunity to delve into this in the stretching and relaxation sessions provided by our freediving instructors.
Gozo is a small island so we enjoy an abundance of peace and quiet in combination with the hustle and bustle of our B&B where freedivers from all walks of life come through. The activities that the island offers therefore also varies with the season, the people and the weather. Which is what makes our little place so special.
Help
We would like to invite life loving and self-motivated people to be part of our family. A very important part of our daily life is the fact that our guests and staff live side by side and share facilities and daily routines. This is an essential part of the community and the vision of the place, which means that the help from workaways is an invaluable asset to our place!
Daily life at Innerdive:
The tasks consist of daily cleaning, laundry, tidying, shopping and maintenance in and around the house and the outside areas. We share a happy, heartfelt and warm atmosphere with our 2 young cat-ladies, Sif and Mille contributing to the lively, loving and relaxed atmosphere.
Our days start at 7 am by preparing the house and the yard for the day. No previous experience is required, but you need to be a responsible, self-motivated person with an eye for details, who also cares for living in a clean and tidy home with a nice atmosphere. Cleanliness and tidiness are essential since the house is the base for our dive center and bed and breakfast. Our guests should feel welcome and accommodated in the surroundings of the house any time of the day and we do expect our workawayers to prioritise the work and then value their spare time in the beautiful island of Gozo - not the other way around.
With that said, we also value the warm and friendly team spirit that we share, and invite you to take part in the activities going on around the house and on the island. The freediving community is special, and we're keen to share our way of life with you. If you're interested in meditation and yoga, you're welcome to learn from our experienced instructors, who organise stretching and breathing sessions most days, and we invite you to join the snorkeling trips if time, space and equipment availability permits it.
If you have a drivers' license, this will be very helpful as we get around by car on the island. We drive on the left side here, and only ask you to drive when you are comfortable doing this.
Seasons:
Joining us in the high season vs. low season are different experiences. In the high season the place is an extrovert and bustling place. In the low season you will find the place quieter and more introvert.
In the high season (April-November) the houses are usually full of freedivers and travellers, and you can expect a lot of activity, both at Innerdive and on the island in general. We have a lot of people coming through and naturally have more staff as well.
In the low season (November-March) we take advantage of the peace and quiet to check in with whatever needs fixing or changing. In these months you can expect few people around the house, rainy and windy weather, green and blossoming nature and less tourists on the island. However, we still need help around the house, and we share lovely experiences with each other and the people who stay with us.

Accommodation
We offer a shared room with single beds (pillow, duvet/blanket, linen, towels and mosquito nets in the summer being provided). A curtain is installed between the beds for more privacy. There is a shared bathroom with a shower, kitchen with designated room in the fridge and a cooker available for cooking food. The facilities are shared with staff and guests.
In the yard we have a swimming pool that is used for swimming and training, you're welcome to use it as well.
Regarding meals, we can only offer breakfast for our workaways, so make sure to have this in mind when applying, as we are aware, that this is not available for everyone financially.
