Jobs

Be flexible, especially since you are arriving in summer, when the tourism jobs are fewer.

Also, just be aware that the culture here is that you have to actually be here to get a job. There are exceptions of course, but mostly employers won't deal with you until they can meet you face to face (I think it comes from the fact that a LOT more people say they are moving here than ever show up).

Are you a PADI certified diving instructor? If not you need to be in order to get a job.

Yes, I am PADI certified and could move on to get my instructors liscense if that would be the best thing to do.
