Job Placement – we assist our instructors in finding employment consistent with their personal goals in the industry. It is easy for any dive operation to claim success in assisting with the placement of instructors, as diving jobs are easy to come by. However, gaining employment with a reputable company, worth working for, is difficult. Our goal is not to simply assist in finding you any job but rather to place hundreds of instructors in premium positions throughout the industry.
