[PADI IDC] I have attached the instructor contract for you to look at. Cost of living here is not expensive, the one thing that is expensive is seasonal accommodation which is why we offer our instructors subsidised apartments, you would have a small but individual apartment with a kitchen, shower room and bedsit.
We are lucky in that we are just a few metres from a sheltered bay ideal for courses, check dives and night dives as well as having a large number of shore and boat dives within 20 minutes of the base. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any queries.
best wishes
[Dive Instructor] Wow, thats what I like to see, efficient replies and a reasonable offer, firstly I would like to know what sort of season you get there, rough dates, how many instructors and what nationalities you have and roughly how many courses / students (on average) should I expect to be teaching?
[PADI IDC] I can just give you a rough guide, We are open all year but really start just before Easter (this year we have a group arriving 25th March for which the new instructors will have to have learned at least the main dive sites) and the bulk of work is May – end October.
You would be doing a mix of accompanied dives, beginner dives and courses, plus some general work around the centre.
Courses are given according to languages but we do 300 – 400 per year, roughly.
We usually keep one instructor (plus one of the owners is also an instructor) over the winter doing a few dives but working a lot on servicing / testing of equipment, but then from March start with 3 and we have 12 or 13 in July / August we also have a resident DM who assists and also helps with cars etc.
The instructors do the filling when we are not busy but then we have a ‘compressor boy’ who comes when the instructors have a lot of dives.
Main nationalities are English, French and German but we also get Russians, Dutch, Swiss, Scandanavian Italians etc. The sooner you brush up your German the sooner you will be able to do German courses. (We have course materials in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Russian)
As you can see from the contract the more our instructors work the more money they make, in July / August they are making $300 plus every week.
We have a regular core of return staff which is very helpful but as they have other work they come later in the season. Usually we are very busy throughout October and then in the 2nd week of November go very quiet.
We do urgently need to know if you are interested and how soon you could be here.
We look forward to hearing from you.
