A Typical Day
Duties in the morning would usually revolve around greeting the costumers as they came in and fitting their equipment, fins, mask, wetsuit, weights ect.. As well as answering questions and generally chatting and joking and trying to make them feel comfortable about the upcoming dives.
After loading up all the tanks and equipment on the big F150 truck known as “Mighty Whitey” its off to the boat 5 minutes away. After loading up the boat and giving the customers a briefing it is time to go diving.
There are many divesites in Manuel Antonio National Park. Often you will be assisting the resident divemasters, shadowing customers underwater and keeping an eye out on them. You will greatly improve your dive skills through lots of diving and on some days specific training dives with the course director Georgia.
Mapping, search and recovery, deep, rescue and navigation ect..
Some times you may do skills in the pool or studying theory or helping out around the shop.
If there are no dives in the afternoon you will generally finish up around 2pm. Which leaves you free to go to the beach, explore rainforest trails, swim in waterfalls.. Manuel Antonio is a stunningly beautiful national park with amazing wildlife. Sloths, lizards, 3 types of monkeys, birds.
