I am posting a note to ask anyone of jobs that are usually available that are outdoors. I am a certified scuba diver and would love to do that but am open to other options. I am planning on moving down this summer with my girlfriend and would really like to have something lined up. I would love to hear anyones ideas and look forward to learning more. Thanks

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.
