Lifeguard
( 6 items )
A life guard must be certified and know how to give CPR and first aid as well as know how to rescue drowning swimmers and keep peace on the beach among tourists when there is a disturbance at sea (a shark sighting, a beached whale, a boat accident, a sudden storm). Being a life guard is a complex and highly-care-driven position. Naturally, life guards can have fun--they can teach swim lessons, they can run games on the beach, they can assist tourists in any number of water sports. However, on their off days, life guards can enjoy some of the world's most beautiful beaches and spend their days working the waves, playing on the beach, making the most of their remarkable surroundings.

Diving
( 10 items )
Diving is a highly-dangerous sport. However, there are many ways in which this adventuresome hobby can become a high-paying career position. There are plenty of ways in which diving can become part of military operations, as signified by scuba's origins. However, rescue operations in the ocean or lakes or rivers often need strong swimmers and even stronger divers to help find and save victims of floods or drowning or boat accidents. Once you have your license, you can become a diver for any number of corporate entities, particularly those that are sent into ocean spaces in order to help preserve natural landscapes that are facing disturbance from pollution and other manmade sources of distress--in coral reefs and other undersea habitats.
