Being an ocean activity guide can be very rewarding "job" for the right person. If you like to stay up late and party, this probably isn't the job for you. However, if you are an early riser and love being out in nature then this could be a good fit. The hours are early mornings, starting around 6:00am and done around 12:00pm. Morning hours make it possible to have a second job from the afternoon if you need. You'll be getting paid to exercise and play in the ocean. something your guests will be paying to do:)
Passionate, friendly, enthusiastic, outgoing, personable are all words which describe the ideal guides personality.
