High School Study Abroad in Grenada

I had an experience of a life time!! I got there hesitant, but I stepped foot off the plane and all the instructors were so warm and welcoming. Living on a boat was such a fun and new thing to do, and everything was so well organized and prepared. The dives were all extraordinary!! Sam, Lex and Simon were such a riot to be around, and still completely knew what they were doing. I especially enjoyed going on the self led dives. Over all I would do it agin in a heartbeat!

When I was 17 I went on the Grenadines voyage with Broadreach; to this day, 5 years later, as a 22 year old this summer was the turning point for me in my life. I have to say that the Grenadines voyage is a trip that you will never forget - it is still fresh in my memory. Weather it was hiking the Quil Volcano in Statia, the pirate's cove on Saint Vincent, or the sailing itself this adventure will give you whatever you are chasing in the Caribbean. For me the opportunity to sail was my most memorable opportunity, I had the pleasure of having an incredible leadership team. I learned a lot from the leaders and my peers; you will meet the most amazing people from all over the world. The diving was incredible; I also participated in the Leeward Islands program and had the opportunity to dive there as well. The diving in the Windward Islands is breathtaking; but, the training Broadreach provided was world class. I feel so comfortable with diving and sailing now, my friends look to me for guidance on diving sites and material. My biggest takeaway from this quite literal summer in paradise is hard to pin point; but, if i had to pick one it would be looking up at those clear caribbean stars. Laying on the Catamaran net staring up at this web of infinite beauty was like traveling back in time to a simpler place. Get away from the rat race, if not forever - do it just for a summer with Broadreach in the Grenadines. The best decision I ever made.

This trip was the most amazing experience of my life. The staff that was on board completely made the adventure and the people soon became my family. The experiences are once in a life time and the diving is phenomenal. Being able to meet people from all over is amazing, and getting to be there family is even better. Learning not only about diving but about sailing was something special. Plus the sense of self you gain is extremely helpful throughout your life. Altogether this program offers so many things and is truly magical.
