Diver/sailor wanted for great adventure

by Oceans Watch/Sail-World Cruising on 22 Aug 2011
Cat Knapp - an adventure waiting in October SW
There's a wonderful opportunity for a sailor who can dive and, as a bonus has some knowledge of marine biology - If that sounds like you, Oceans Watch, the organisation that works through the South Pacific helping marine research and also assisting local communities live sustainably, is looking for a crew member in October.

You'd need to be a member of Oceans Watch to take part, but there's a vacancy from the October 3rd this year, for crew with diving experience on Cat Knapp, a 38 foot Wharram design Catamaran.

Cat Knapp has been visiting Vanuatu, then the Solomon Islands and will be moving to Papua New Guinea later this year.


If you are available and wish for more information, would you please send your expression of interest and resume to julia@oceanswatch.org While diving is the main skill required, some Marine Biology and sailing experience would be beneficial.
