About ScubaGig

Built by a diver who found out the hard way.

ScubaGig exists because the information you actually need before moving for dive work has never been in one place.

where it started

The job listing told you what the role was. Nothing else.

The job listings were fine. Role, agency, start date. What they never told me was what the pay actually meant once you factored in rent, whether the visa situation was as straightforward as the employer suggested, or what day to day life actually looked like after the first few weeks.

That information existed. It was just scattered across Facebook groups, old Reddit threads, and WhatsApp messages from people who'd been there. Never in one place, never easy to find before you'd already committed.

ScubaGig is what I wish had existed. Real job listings, honest destination guides, and the stuff that actually matters before you pack up and move. Free for dive professionals. Always.

common questions

Questions dive pros ask about ScubaGig

Is ScubaGig free for dive professionals?

Yes. ScubaGig is free for dive professionals and always will be. Job listings and destination guides are both free to browse.

Who built ScubaGig?

ScubaGig was built by a working diver who moved countries twice for dive work and arrived underprepared both times. The site collects the information that was missing on both moves.

What do ScubaGig destination guides cover?

Each guide covers verified pay ranges, visa and work permit requirements, current hiring seasons, cost of living broken down by item, and what daily life looks like at the dive centre and away from it.

How is ScubaGig different from a dive job board?

A job listing tells you the role, the agency and the start date. ScubaGig adds the context that decides whether the job is worth taking: what the pay is worth locally, how straightforward the visa really is, and what the place is like to live in.
