Yacht Jobs & Dive Jobs

Yacht jobs and diving jobs are the water-based end of the season. Superyachts hire deckhands and stewardesses for the Mediterranean summer and Caribbean winter, while dive centres hire instructors, divemasters and boat crew year round in warm water.

Breaking into yachting

The standard route is an STCW course plus dock walking in a yachting hub like Antibes or Palma at the start of the season. Green crew get day work first, then a season contract.

Diving as a career season

Divemaster and instructor courses take a few months; dive centres then hire for a season, often with shared staff housing and unlimited diving.
