Hi Boris

Are you still looking or looking again for a Management couple for Waidroka Bay Resort ? If so I have attached our CV with photo.
Briefly, we are an energetic mature couple with business management qualifications including corporate marketing experience, as well as Master Instructor and Divemaster resort management experience.

We were relief managers for 3 months (while owners were on holiday) at a dive resort with full occupancy on a remote island in PNG. My husbands' skills (very mechanical) would suit the Dive Centre/Instructor role, he's also a surfer and underwater photographer; and my hospitality management experience suits the Sales and Marketing/Divemaster role. We are both NAUI certified but would consider doing a cross-over for the right position.

We would be happy to arrange a Skype call for a 'Face to Face' chat.

Regards, Laura

I am an engineer and my girlfriend has a lot of hotel experience.

We are new to the instructor seen, but my background with a master's in engineering and my girlfriend's experience in hospitality, may be something that you are interested in.
 
Sounds extremely interesting!! My wife and I are interested if a child is not a problem to the position.
