If you can offer this guy an Instructor position contact us quoting reference Koh Tao 1
I am very interested in a job opportunity as an instructor in your dive school (would also be available for any live a-board trips).
During my training in the CMAS and PADI systems, I conducted and logged over 200 dives, so I have experienced diving in many places (France, Ireland, Egypt, Thailand, Cambodia…), which gave me an insight in different ecosystems and diving conditions.
I consider myself to be very communicative, open minded and I speak 2 languages fluently (French and English). While I was working at Apple, which is a company with very high standards in customer service, I had the opportunity to develop very good skills in this area.
As my father is an entomologist, I was early sensitized to nature preservation.
Based on this I understand diving not as a purely recreational activity but as a chance to
study and therefore conserve the marine wildlife. As an instructor I have the chance to share and teach this knowledge about marine life and scuba diving.
I am a very reliable and responsible person and I am very careful to apply safe diving
practices and use top of the art gear.
With these skills, I am confident that I am a perfect match for a position within your company. I am most eager to implement my experience and contribute to your organization. If you have any questions, feel free to join me by phone or email.

T H E S E A WA T E R A N D I … A N O L D S T O R Y !
I started diving when I was a teenager in the Calanques o f Cassis . Afterward I spent a few years enjoying surfing and finally joined the scuba diving french federation in 2003. There, I had an extensive training (2 hours twice a week, year round) which made me a good scuba diver quickly (I passed the three stars CMAS level in 2 years). My plan at this time was already to become a scuba diving trainer in the french federation. Unfortunately, if you want to make it as a job, you have to pay for a special training which is mandatory and organized by the state. This training costs at least 6.000 euros (!). Thus, I had to postpone this project.
At this time I was already a business owner (professional website creation) and conducted several trainings for my customers. Until now, I continued to develop my webmaster skills, so you might want to take a look at my last project, which is a dedicated product for diving schools.
During my time in Ireland, I switched to the PADI system (October 2010). I obtained an equivalence as a PADI Rescue Diver, thanks to my CMAS level. Then, I was trained and obtained my PADI Divemaster.
I went several times to South East Asia, including Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand (mainly in the Andaman sea and around the Koh Tao Area) and I literally fell in love with these countries!
At the moment, I am on Koh Tao, being available and flexible to come to your place as soon as you need me.
