This is what employers are saying about Dive Otago career graduates:

 "Reason for the e-mail is that I am now the Dive Manager for Fantasea Cruises in the Whitsundays and am looking to fill a full time position and need casual staff. If any of you know someone  looking for a job in such a beautiful location, tell them to send me a resume. I want as many Dive Otago Graduates working for me as I can, they are the best trained Instructors I have come  across."
