Opportunity to Become a Divemaster

For the right employee who wants to pursue professional scuba diving, Scuba Now offers a Divemaster training and development package valued at approximately $8,000.

Becoming a Divemaster isn't an overnight certification. It requires training, diving experience, skill development, professionalism, and commitment. Depending on the individual, the complete development process may take a year or longer.

You'll have the opportunity to learn while working alongside experienced dive professionals and participating in real-world pool, lake, retail, equipment, and student-training operations.

This opportunity is intended for an employee who demonstrates reliability, commitment, professionalism, and a genuine interest in becoming part of Scuba Now long-term.

Schedule

Part-time with flexible scheduling.

Off Season

Primarily weekday hours in Wilmington, generally scheduled during normal daytime operations.

Typical responsibilities include online sales, our on-demand store, customer service, equipment, pool operations, social media, inventory, and preparation for the upcoming dive season.

Dive Season — Approximately May 15 through September 30

Weekend availability is important during scheduled scuba classes and lake operations.

Some scheduled weekends may require:

Saturday & Sunday — approximately 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Not every weekend will necessarily be scheduled. However, employees in this position must be available for assigned training weekends during the dive season.

What We're Looking For

You don't need to arrive as a scuba expert.

We can teach scuba skills. What we're looking for are qualities that are harder to teach: reliability, commitment, enthusiasm, professionalism, and a strong work ethic.

The right person should:

• Be dependable and punctual
• Enjoy working with and helping people
• Be comfortable in and around water
• Be a capable swimmer
• Have an interest in scuba diving and the underwater world
• Be eager to learn
• Be comfortable working both indoors and outdoors
• Be physically capable of safely moving scuba cylinders and equipment
• Be comfortable with occasional long days during scheduled dive weekends
• Have reliable transportation
• Be willing to work at both Wilmington and Shallotte locations
• Be comfortable using computers and learning online systems
• Be comfortable assisting with social media
• Communicate professionally with customers
• Be willing to take responsibility and help where needed
• Be interested in becoming part of our team long-term

Already scuba certified? That's a plus, but it's not required for the right candidate.
