Free Diving Jobs
The most popular freediving jobs are teaching freediving and being a free dive athlete. Working as a professional freediver you earn sponsorships if you break depth records etc. To teach freediving you need to become a freediving instructor.
Divemaster Jobs
To be able to work as a Divemaster you first need to get your Divemaster certification. You can do this with many different scuba training organizations like SSI, RAID, and PADI to name a few. PADI is the largest trading organization which can help to increase your divemaster job opportunities. To get your Divemaster certification with PADI you need to first do the PADI Open Water Diver Course, followed by the Advanced, EFR, Rescue Diver, and finally the PADI Divemaster course. We recommend Sairee Cottage Diving on Koh Tao for your Divemaster course.

Scuba Instructor Jobs
The most popular dive jobs are scuba instructor jobs. You can already find a dive job as a Divemaster, but your options are limited as Divemaster normally can only lead fun dives, assist scuba instructors, and conduct scuba refresher courses.
Scuba instructors can do the same dive jobs as a Divemaster, but on top of that, they can also teach most scuba dive courses. This increases their chances for work significantly and scuba instructors usually earn a bit more salary compared to Divemaster Jobs.
How to get a job as a scuba instructor
Same as with the Divemaster course you can choose different training organizations, but to get the biggest chance to find the best scuba instructor jobs we recommend PADI. After completion of your Divemaster Course, you can take the PADI IDC Course to become a scuba instructor. Check out this PADI IDC Course with a unique dive Jobs placement program to help you find the best dive jobs.

Working on Yachts and Cruise Ships
Would you like to travel the world in style while getting paid for it? Then we recommend finding a scuba dive job on a yacht, super-yacht, or cruise ship. Not only are working on some of the most beautiful ships, but you will travel to some of the most beautiful dive locations in the world.
Many of my Divemaster and Dive Instructor students found work on Super-Yachts and Cruise ships and all are making a great salary. Do remember that working on yachts and cruise ships is still work and besides scuba diving, you might need to also clean the boats as a deckhand or work for example sometimes in the restaurant of a cruise ship.
You first need to get some licenses like the STCW, deckhand, DSS, or other certifications if you are interested in working on these amazing ships. We recommend to check out Galileo Maritime Academy for all the diploma’s you need to be able to work on yachts.
