You must provide proof of current CPR and First Aid certification. You must be a US citizen or able to legally work in the US. The Florida Sea Base will not sponsor persons seeking work visas or work permits. Prior scouting experience is preferred. Eagle Scouts will be given preference. Summer staff training will begin on 18 May 2008.
Your primary responsibilities will include guiding certified divers and teaching PADI Open Water Diver certification courses or teaching aboard one of our scuba Liveaboard vessels. Other duties will include giving lectures on various scuba topics, including but not limited to Peak Performance Buoyancy, Night Diving, and AWARE Fish Identification; maintenance of scuba equipment; assisting as mate on the dive boats; and other duties as assigned. Generally, you will lead a one tank dive in the morning, a one tank dive in the afternoon and, one night dive per week. Benefits include $300 per week for Scuba Instructors (captains pay varies on type of vessel operated) free room and board and medical coverage. The pay is a weekly salary, paid semi-monthly. Hours generally start at about 0730 and your day will end at approximately 2100. You will usually have one day off per week. You must provide all of your scuba equipment except tanks and weights. A pre-employment physical at your expense is also required. The form will be included with your application packet. All members of the dive staff are required to belong to our local drug testing program. Pre-employment and random drug tests will be administered.
The Florida Sea Base is located near the middle of the Florida Keys, on Lower Matecumbe Key (mile marker 73.8 Bay Side) within the city of Islamorada. The scuba program utilizes one 45 Corinthian power catamaran, two Newton 46 Dive Specials and several 26 Dusky center-console power boats. The Florida Sea Base is one of the busiest dive outfitters in the Keys during the summer months. Sea Base will have 156 divers (not including staff) per day, making two or three dives per day. At this time, Sea Base does not use nitrox. The Boy Scouts of America National Headquarters has imposed a maximum depth of 60 for all dives at Sea Base. All of our dives are at protected sites and we strongly enforce the take only pictures, leave only bubbles philosophy.
