Anyone with any info on diving with RCCL?

[scubapimp2009]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find out some information regarding diving on any RCCL cruise liner as I have an upcoming interview and I am strugling to find much diving related info on their website.

If there is anyone who dived on any of their vessels i would love to here from you. If anyone learnt to dive that information would be particularly useful. I would especially love to hear from anyone who has worked as an instructor onboard any of the RCCL fleet.

Thanks in advance..

Gareth

We dove off of Voyager of the Seas from Galveston, TX in January.

The boat had a total of three dive instructors. They also had a miniature dive counter with some equipment showcases. The back room seemed to be stocked with both rental snorkel gear and some dive gear.

The primary scuba related job of the instructors was to man the dive locker, give refresher courses, and check/escort the booked scuba excursions from the dive locker to the tenders / pickup spots.

I don't know what they did while we were on the excursions they were not on any of the dives.

If you're looking to impress your interviewers with ideas, I would suggest a scuba get together for all of the people who had booked scuba excursions and coming up with some other idea to promote a discover scuba course on board the ship prior to reaching the ports. That would include escorting the discover scuba students on an easy dive, not one of the normal dives.

Did you see this:

A nice gig working with Royal is to work on their Coco Cay island in the Bahamas. They have a couple of instructors there full time. The cool part is there's not a ship every day so there's some down time to play. And sometimes it's too rough for the ship to tender the passengers in so you get an extra day off.

The above Link that El Orans posted is a great resource for cruise information.
