LOL! I spent some time in the Philippines and it's NOT a dry heat!!!

those with wife and kids, just put them in storage for a few years. Truly sounds like an amazing opportunity for someone. exhausting work at times im sure but so worth it on so many levels. Really hope someone on rc gets it and keeps us updated. kicking myself in butt for never getting certified.

Walt,
I sent you an email, my wife and I are interested in relocating. She already has a prospective lead on a job for her. Hope to hear from you soon

I know I will lie on my resume, go to the interview in Fiji and write it off on my taxes, since I hardly have anything to write off anymore.

Email sent. I am the perfect fit for this job. Advanced diver with a good knowledge of corals (especially acropora sp), aquaculturing and management experience. My wife & I are empty nesters' and wanting to relocate to a warm climate ASAP. Looking forward to hear from you.

I sent 3 emails, and my lease is up on my house next month.
I am a rescue diver with over 50 dives, and been in the hobby for 28 years.
38 years old, and in great physical shape and health.
I also have 2 bachelors degrees, one in computer science and 1 in business.
My wife is an occupational therapist and can get sponsored for a job on the island pretty easy.
I have dedicated my life to this hobby and being in the ocean.
I havent heard anything.

Best of luck to all of you guys that applied for this. God knows I'd love to get out of the Northeast.

But the best thing I read through all the posts here is that the Thiels are coming back to the states and some lucky duck of an employer will get people who really know how to work in this industry. And best of all, they're just plain old good people. Even better, hopefully they'll get back into the business on their own.

Gheez. It has been a long time. That would be the Turniers returning to the states.

Wonder if anybody knows what Chris and Kris are up to?

 

[nickman]

heard back, he said the position has been filled.
Congrats to whoever got the job!

 

[tozzi]

Wonder who it was, and what the pay is?

 

[nickman]

I'd have done it for way less whatever it is

 

[oceanathome]

Yes Lotus, I too am in Mesa. . . Dry or not, its hot! I don't dive and I'm tied down, but how fun.

 

[tlgreve]

Wow! Yep, thats a dream job alright! I'm sure its hard work too, but I'd sure like to do it! I couldn't go though

 

[Bamm Bamm]

I'd do it for free almost... it would be amazing!! Congrats to whoever got the job!

 

[reefmanmatt]
