Since becoming a divemaster and then an instructor in 2002, I've worked at the local dive shop. Getting a job wasn't difficult because I had taken classes and shopped there. But how does one go about finding work as a full-time instructor and/or dive shop employee in a completely different area of the world, such as the Caribbean? Specifically:

- Must one move there first and then look for work?
- Do employers generally assist new hires in finding housing or provide housing?
- Is the process different if you work on a cruise ship instead of a land-based operation?
- Does the format of a scuba resume differ from resume formats used in the corporate world?
- What skills are critical (repairing boat engines, holding a captain's license, writing for a website)?
- Any suggestions for finding out average salaries in a particular region?
- Other than Scuba Board, where are job openings posted?
- What pitfalls should be on the lookout for?
