Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Cozumel is the heart of diving in Quintana Roo. If you are interested in marine protection programs and the underwater world, we have that for you.
If you are a diver you will get free shore diving 2-3 days a week to give you more experience. If you want to do a recreational dive course you have 10% discount.
We are a "dive family" with nationalities from all over the world. Currently we have people working here from Sweden, Poland, USA, UK, Germany, France, Belgium & Canada. Most of the people here are travelers and staying for a week/month or up to 6 months before moving to next destination. So you will have a lot of people to inspiration for your onward travels.
Help
We need people that are outgoing that can promote the dive school. Keep the dive house clean and help taking care of the guests. Help with gardening and eco-project. We prefer that you are a diver or want to become certified, since everything we do is related to diving. You need to have a driving license (have the physical license with you) and preferably be able to drive a manual.
