Working in Scuba diving in Australia
It can be difficult for foreign travellers to find work as divemasters or instructors in Australia: Australia is pretty good at supplying its own instructors. The most likely way to get work is to get short-term work in Far North Queensland during the peak season (the Australian winter, roughly May to September) when demand is highest.
You will need to have native or near-native command of English if you intend to instruct most students; command of some other languages, particularly German or Japanese, is an asset. Diver operations also have divemaster, cook, coxswain (skipper), deck hand and retail work available. In all cases, the opportunity for independent diving is extremely limited: on most trips all your diving will be work related.
You will not normally be able to get a dive operation to sponsor an Australian work visa for you, unless you have a truly outstanding set of skills unavailable locally. Most foreign instructors work under the Working Holidaymaker visa arrangements.
