Pre-covid?…
Starting work at 8am to get ready for the 8:30am double dive, getting kit ready, loading the boat, paperwork if the guests haven’t done it already, raiding the breakfast buffet for the snacks and fruit for the trip, getting water and ice for the cooler box.
Our first dive is usually always at our shark dive site, unless the divers have already been there. I usually get an easy dive at the back, as we have 3 local staff members completing their Divemaster course , so I just get to supervise.
Once we get back we are washing kit and filling tanks, then lunch. We get to eat anything we want off the menu or the buffet.
After lunch I’m in the office replying to emails and getting paperwork done.
We may have a free try dive session/dive course in the pool in the afternoon, or, we may have another trip going; like snorkeling, island hopping, a jetski trips, banana boats etc
In the shop we are also signing out kayaks, SUPs and snorkel equipment to guests.
At the end of the day we are pulling everything up off the beach and washing the returned snorkel equipment. Getting the sales completed and taken to reception so the costs can be added to the guests bills.
When we close at 5pm (if there are no night snorkels or dives) we often have a guest cocktail party to attend.
We are also on call 24hrs which you think would just be for emergencies but is often for guests when they call us drunk and want to go fishing or boating at 6am!!!
