This is the Big One, folks! Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Nah, we’re in DREAM JOB territory here! The lovely people at Lembeh Resort need a new manager for their Backscatter Authorized Photo Center.
Lembeh Strait needs no introduction, of course. As any macro photographer knows, this narrow strip of volcanic sand is home to some of the best muck diving on the planet and an endless parade of the ocean’s weirdest and most wonderful tiny creatures. (It’s a macro mecca to most, but you can also find spectacular corals, caves and wrecks here.)
Lembeh Resort takes the needs of visiting underwater photographers very seriously, with comprehensive photo/video facilities, and dive guides with exceptional spotting skills well-versed in what shooters want. It goes without saying, the Photo Center Manager plays an integral role, teaching courses, running workshops, helping solve camera equipment issues, and generally helping guests achieve their best images during their stay.
