Broadreach: Bonaire Rescue Diver Scuba

I participated to two Broadreach diving programs, one in St Martin and one in Bonaire. Thanks to Broadreach, I have discovered a whole new life under water that brings me joy and peace and made me both aware and concerned about oceanic pollution around the world. “Enjoy the present moment” is a philosophy which I fully understood the l meaning during a Broadreach dive. Support What I really like about Broadreach’s programs is that we were like a family. When you have a problem orsome difficulties, there is always someone trustful to help you. I am originally French speaking and I don’t speak perfectly English so sometimes I had some difficulties but I always got support. The staffs were skilled and twice truly fantastic people on a human level (shout out to Kris). They really like what they do and their good vides are contagious for the whole group. They are very knowledgeable about marine biology so you learn a lot within a short time. Besides diving we went windsurfiwindsurfing, made hikes, paid visit to NGO’s, communities and villages,… And this year we climbed a mountain the sight was just incredible. Horizon Thanks to Broadreach, I am now planning to follow that path by becoming a dive master and an instructor. See you soon. Nino Meessen

Although my group of all girls struggled a little bit with getting along, this helped us grow stronger with the other skills we were learning. We were working on the Emergency First Responder course and because I was already EFR certified, I had a role on this trip I was new to. I found myself helping out with the instructors and becoming more of a leader for the group. I was surprised and excited with how much I have learned and how much I was able to share. Of course, the diving and the house were both beyond amazing. We felt at home quickly in the small, dense community FILLED with diving and cool nature! I won't forget this trip because of the opportunity I got to become a strong leader, and the opportunity we got to be a stronger group in such a diving focused community.
