Career opportunities

Each year we receive many applications from instructors, divemasters and candidates looking to begin a career in scuba diving. We are however not linked to an actual diving centre, we're sorry that there are no opportunities for such freelance work with us. 

You are invited to contact any of our preferred partners directly for further information regarding local career opportunities.

Preparing a good resume for applying for a job in the dive industry is essentially no different to preparing one for any other industry. However, because today’s employers are looking for people who are multi-skilled, it is important to emphasize any relevant training and experience you have had outside the dive industry. It is particularly important to mention experience you have had in retail sales, marketing, computers, or management. Resort and live-aboard operators are always looking for people with mechanical skills. In other words, sell yourself, not only on the basis or your dive training and experience, but also through highlighting previous experience you have had in other fields.

Divemaster / candidate
Dear Sir or Madam:
My name is Luisa, 27 years old and living in Belgium. I am writing regarding any job vacancies in the Costa Blanca area this coming season. I am a PADI certified rescue diver with approximately 120 logged dives, and I have about 6 years of experience in scuba diving. I also have good computer skills and I am familiar with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and the Internet. I speak fluent English, Dutch, a little German and French, and I'm a beginner in Spanish. I enjoy working with people, I’m easy going and well motivated. I'd love to improve my diving skills to a professional level, so it would be just great if your diving centre could offer me a Divemaster education in exchange for work. I could work in your office, on your boat or in your shop. If you have a position that you think I would be interested in please contact me via email on luisa@gmail.com A full CV and references can be supplied upon request.

Master scuba diver trainer 
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to inquire about the scuba instructor position with your company, CostaBuceo dive centre, posted on diversjobs.com. Having travelled to Spain a number of times, I am familiar with the local customs and culture. While travelling to the island of Ibiza, I went diving with your operation and found your company’s customer service exceptional. My experience in managing a dive centre and teaching at the PADI master scuba diver trainer level has prepared me for a job as a scuba instructor with your company. Thank you for your kind attention. I have included a copy of my resume, which details my skills and qualifications for your consideration. I would enjoy speaking with you at your earliest convenience to discus how my background and credentials will benefit CostaBuceo dive centre. Sincerely, Mark Mergulho

Our mission at CBS is to show you the other side of the Costa Blanca. There is so much more than just the sun the beach and the bars. We are not a dive centre or travel agency, we only provide visitors with information. We try to stay independent and not taking sides. We see ourselves as a virtual portal to the existing dive operators.
