James Gordon

Canada

Present yourself:

I grew up sailing with my father and continued my training to eventually become a yachting instructor with the Canadian Yachting Association. I have crewed professionally on sail/ dive excursions to the Barrier Reef in Australia and worked as Expedition Staff in Antarctica, and the Canadian/ Russian Arctic. I am also a PADI SCUBA Instructor (not currently in teaching status), and spent three years as a full time boat captain/ dive instructor in the British Virgin Islands.

I have been away from the industry to raise my kids on dry land, but am now ready to re-start my career! I am open to any entry level position that will allow me to contribute as a deck crew and/ or dive staff. Sailing is preferred but I'm open to any options.

I'm a Canadian citizen, but currently live in Switzerland with a Swiss residence/ work permit. I am available immediately and can travel on short notice.
