  Descrição

  Hello!
  
  We are a marine research field station and dive centre based in Simon’s Town, South Africa. We’re looking for Workawayers with a variety of practical skills to help behind the scenes and keep our centre running smoothly, supporting our team of passionate marine scientists, conservationists and divers.
  
  Please note: these are support roles (such as hospitality, maintenance, admin and general help around the centre), not research or diving positions. Workawayers will not take part in marine research or dives as part of their Workaway role. If you’d like to dive or join our marine programmes, you’re welcome to book our specialised courses at our guest rates. We are not recruiting marine biologists or research assistants through this platform.
  
  Please check the skills needed below.
