Job Description

This role combines marine biology with professional dive guiding in Indonesia. Candidates would typically need a degree or practical background in marine biology, ecology, or a related field, along with recognized scuba-diving qualifications, strong underwater skills, and relevant guiding experience. Duties may include leading recreational dives, identifying and documenting marine life, supporting conservation or monitoring projects, educating guests, and maintaining high safety standards. Employers generally expect excellent communication, physical fitness, environmental awareness, teamwork, flexibility, and a genuine interest in Indonesian marine ecosystems. Experience with reef surveys, data collection, photography, or conservation outreach would be advantageous. English is usually essential, while additional languages and local knowledge may be helpful.

Company Info

Global Dive Jobs is an international employment platform focused on opportunities in scuba diving, marine tourism, conservation, resorts, liveaboards, and related water-sports industries. It connects dive professionals and marine specialists with operators in destinations around the world, including Indonesia. Listings may cover roles such as dive instructors, guides, marine biologists, boat crew, resort staff, and technical or management personnel. The platform is primarily a recruitment and job-information resource rather than the direct employer for every advertised position, so applicants should confirm the hiring company, contract terms, salary, benefits, working schedule, and visa arrangements before accepting an offer. Its listings are particularly useful for candidates seeking seasonal, overseas, or conservation-related careers in the diving industry.

Destination Guide

Indonesia offers diverse opportunities across Bali, Lombok, the Gili Islands, Komodo, Raja Ampat, Sulawesi, and other marine destinations. Jobs include dive guiding, instruction, marine research, conservation, resort hospitality, boat operations, and environmental education. Lifestyle varies from busy tourism centers such as Bali to remote, community-focused locations such as Raja Ampat. Local culture values hospitality, family, religious traditions, and respectful behavior; modest dress and sensitivity toward ceremonies are important. Rent and daily costs can be low outside major tourist areas, although remote islands may have limited healthcare, transport, and supplies. Foreign workers generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate Indonesian visa, not a tourist visa. Confirm immigration requirements with the employer or Indonesian authorities before travel. Relocation usually involves arranging flights, insurance, accommodation, vaccinations, and emergency evacuation cover.
