Instructor Position Available for 2010 Season in Two Harbors on Catalina Island
Two Harbors is a small, rustic resort on the west end of Catalina Island, off the coast of Los Angeles, California, USA. We have one restaurant, one bar, one general store, a visitor’s services center, a campground, an 12-room bed & breakfast, and one dive & recreation center. The closest town to us is Avalon, which is 15 miles (24km) away by water and 22 miles (35km) away by land. Our visitors are primarily boaters and campers.
Catalina Island is one of California’s Southern Channel Islands, and one of the top 10 dive destinations in the world. The west end of the island boasts the top dive sites on the island: Bird Rock, Ship Rock, Emerald Bay, Eagle Reef, etc… The giant kelp forests are what make us so unique. The water temperatures in summer range from the low 60’s (15°C) to the low 70’s (21°C). A 7mm wetsuit is the standard thermal protection used during the summer. The weather is sunny and dry, with average temperatures ranging from the mid 70’s (15°C) to the low 80’s (26°C). The water visibility hovers between 30 and 60 feet (12-18m) in spring and early summer. Late summer and fall we can get up to 100 feet (30m) of visibility.
Two Harbors Dive and Recreation Center is a full-service PADI Dive Resort. We rent snorkel and scuba gear, sit-on-top ocean kayaks, mountain bikes, paddleboards, beach chairs and umbrellas, volleyballs and other beach sports equipment. Our air fill station fills to 3500psi (241bar). We lead kayak tours, including kayak dive or snorkel tours. We also have our own 45’ (13m) catamaran that we use for dive and snorkel excursions around the island as well.
The majority of the PADI courses we teach are Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water. We do not have a pool so all of our confined water work is done in the shallows of our beach. Our classes are primarily 1-3 people and never more than 6.
Seasonal Position
1. The position runs from May through September, and maybe through the end of October. These dates are flexible.
2. The position requires a willingness to perform a variety of jobs, i.e. work in both the rental and retail areas, divemaster or crew on the boat, teach discover scuba diving as well as all other PADI courses, fill tanks, carry tanks to and from the boat, and general housekeeping (cleaning gear, sweeping, dusting, etc…
.
3. Pay rate depends on the job being performed and experience.
4. We will reimburse instructors for their insurance, prorated for their period of employment with us.
5. Good work ethic and ability to be a team player a must.
