For employers
Hire divers who actually fit the role.
Post to a focused community of qualified dive professionals. Screen by certification, experience, languages, and availability. Simple flat-fee listings — no recruiter fees, no contracts, no noise.
Hire with more confidence by seeing references confirmed by past supervisors. We reach out to them directly to verify the diver's work history and give them the option to leave a short reference.
Trust, verified
Verified by their last manager, not algorithms
Every reference on DiveGigs is submitted directly by the diver's previous supervisor through DiveGigs after email verification. Each one carries a unique REF code and a clear provenance label, so employers can read it and trust it.
No more chasing phone calls. No more wondering whether the reference is genuine. Better signal before the interview, less risk after the hire.
"Excellent addition to our team. Calm with new students, dependable on busy days."

Plan ahead
When dive operators typically hire
Most dive hiring follows the season. Dive shops and resorts staff up before bookings start, not after. Apply during a region's pre-season window and you compete with a much smaller pool. Apply mid-season and you're filling a sudden gap.
Operators don't all crew up at once. Some begin two or three months before peak, others fill late gaps mid-season, and a few hire year-round. The earliest applicants almost always have the most options.
Build a profile now and we'll email you the moment matching roles go live in your preferred regions.

DiveGigs is built for working dive professionals. If you're a Divemaster, an Instructor, or working towards your first paid role, you can build a free profile and apply to listings that match your level. We're a job board, not a training agency, so we don't certify divers or run courses. Use DiveGigs to find your next role.
Globally. Roles are listed across South East Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Oceania. Both candidates and employers can join from any country.
No. Profiles are private by default and only shared with employers when you apply to a role or explicitly opt in to be searchable. You stay in control of which references you share with which application.
Build your profile and turn on email alerts. When a new role matches your certifications, experience and preferred regions, DiveGigs emails you the same day. Save searches to fine-tune which roles trigger an alert.
