WANTED PART TIME PROFESSIONAL DIVERS & VOLUNTEER DIVER ASSISTANTS.

Pacific Marine Research is seeking a professional and highly skilled scuba diver on a part-time basis. The diver will participate in a marine science field trip program for Seattle school children. Duties include performing a 20 - 30 minute bottom time dive using full-face mask with communication system and video camera to explore and describe underwater plant and animal life to students viewing the video signal from a moored vessel overhead.

The diver should be familiar and comfortable with use of full-face mask (Aga system), and will be trained to use the video camera.

The diver will meet the vessel near Alki Point, then swim out to the vessel with full gear on, and be handed the facemask and video camera. Diver will then descend to the bottom (no deeper than 70 feet) and explore the area, sending live video pictures and narration back to the vessel where the students will watch on monitors and ask questions of the diver through the two-way comm. line.

The diver will be hired as an independent contractor, and must have a business license and carry his own insurance. The dives will occur daily at about noon. Employment is seasonal in Spring and Fall. The schedule is flexible to the extent that several divers share this position and dates worked can be worked out between contractors.

The diver will be paid $75.00 for the ~ ½ hour bottom time dive. Diver will be responsible for supplying
all personal dive gear, air fills and transportation. The diver will be tethered to the vessel throughout the dive, with a qualified tender standing by at all times. During the entire process, the vessel will be moored to a fixed buoy, with all engines stopped. Knowledge about marine life and good verbal skills required. Divers who choose to utilize volunteer assistants are responsible for screening assistants for suitability.
This is a fun and flexible opportunity. This program has been in operation
since 1985.
