South African (US Resident) looking for dive job in South Florida

[irutzen]

Hey all,
My name is Ivan Rutzen and I followed my lovely wife back home to the US and I am in looking for a dive job here in south Florida. I have worked as an instructor and divemaster in the area on contract basis and hope to find something more stable. I've listed my CV below but the highlights are the fact that I have a lot of dives in various conditions, fully insured MSDT, 6 pak license, graduate of the Marine Mechanics Institute, experience with underwater photography and videography (mostly with white sharks in South Africa). I am reliable, efficient and hard working.

I would appreciate any lead!
Thanks
Ivan
