Dive volunteer opportunities in Caymans

[raina79]

Hello!

I am beginning to do a bit of research into working abroad in the Cayman Islands....I have a friend working there now, and am interested in possibly doing it myself.

Ideally, I would like to find a job (in my field - architecture) that runs Monday - Friday, and have weekends free to do some diving. I'm thinking of not only doing some recreational diving, but also volunteering my time for marine projects, such as marine conservation, surveying, etc.

Does anyone know if there are any such organizations / opportunities in the Cayman Islands? Again, I am just beginning my research, but hoping I could find out some useful info here.

Thanks in advance for any info!

I think, with a bit of luck, you can probably find a quite nice job in your field here. Construction has been absolutely booming, and all related industries are in full swing now.

As to volunteer opportunities... other than occasional reef clean ups, there aren't a lot of options. You could try contacting the Department of Environment to inquire if they have any other ides.

If you go down to check it out, stay at Cobalt Coast and dive with Divetech. Nancy (owner of Divetech) is a Canadian and her husband, Jay, is a builder who has built, among other things, Cobalt Coast. Between them they should be able to give you some ideas.
