Internships/ job opportunities

[JGILLMER]

Hello all, my name is Jesse I just got my padi open water certification and realized that I love diving and would like to make a career out of it. Because I'm new I don't really know where to look for internships and job opportunities. If anyone has any information it is much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Jesse

Welcome to ScubaBoard.

You'll find plenty of information on how to make very little money as a dive professional here on the forum, just use the search function.

I'm not really worried about making alot of money, I just want to dive and help out with conservation efforts.

Go and dive with ReefCI to see how much you’ll pay to do conservation work, it pays less than being an instructor.

To earn money in conservation you’ll likely need a relevant degree. I dive with a few qualified marine biologists who earn their daily bread in other industries.

probably the best way to earn money in scuba industry IMO is to become an instructor

So it sucks most places have a age limit of 25 for them to do all your training for free. You still might be able to find a few tho but they are all in warm tropical places.
