Yucatan Ocean Conservation Program

I honestly thought this trip was absolutely amazing. The Academic aspect of the trip was very informative and I feel like I learned a lot about the marine environment and the regular environment also. The SCUBA diving was beautiful and there were great photo opportunities along with many opportunities to try new things. Regarding our environmental impact I feel like we made a change, but if more people do this program the bigger that change can be, so I encourage you to do this program. The safety aspect of everything was also well thought through and at no point did I ever feel like "things were out of control".

What was your funniest moment?
I think when we were at Chichén Itzá as a group. We had a lot of fun and took some great photos all together!
Pros
  • Educational
  • Environmental Impact
  • Scuba Certification
What other participants should know
  • You'll make new friends
  • The temperature is quite hot there
  • Small language barrier from English to Spanish

Plan your Broadreach Adventure today!

Broadreach is the best thing to do during your summer. I think that my biggest concern when going on my trip was that I might not have any friends on my boat and that was not the case at ALL. The diving is insane and every day is just nonstop fun. By being away from the world with just a couple of kids your age you will be best friends with everyone on that boat. You dive together, you sail together, you cook together, eat together, clean together, and you become a family. I had the best time of my life and there is really nothing like it.

This can be the summer of your life!

Oh man, where do I begin? Broadreach has given me some of the most incredible experiences, memories, and skills in my life while being able to explore so many new places across the world! I got to try a whole lot of new food, give back to the communities across the world with service projects, see new life, gain new skills diving and sailing, and make lots of new friends and memories along the way! I remember one memory fondly where one of our instructors was able to make a lemon float mid-air using an air tank during some downtime, and its still one of the most bizarre but fun memories I have! I hope I can go back to sail with Broadreach again some day!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
During my trip this year, we made an excursion to St. Lucia to go hiking and go visit a natural pool. On the beach, me and a few others managed to crack open a coconut we found on a beach and drink some fresh coconut water and try a bit of the flesh, even if it wasn't that tasty.
Pros
  • See New Places
  • Learn New Skills
  • Become More Confident With Yourself

BROADREACH IS AMAZING.

EXTREMELY FUN EXPERIENCE!! In summer of 2024, I did the 12 day Snorkeling + Sailing trip and it was an incredibly unforgettable experience. I especially enjoyed visiting the various islands included in my itinerary, cooking meals for the rest of the crew, and just having a fun, relaxing time! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun time for their teen! I’m going next summer too!

Edit 1: In summer of 2025, I attended the 12 day Scuba Diving and Sailing trip and it was (once again) spectacular. I was skeptical about scuba diving at first, but the instructors on my boat made sure myself and all of my other crew mates feel properly prepared and accommodated for the activity. I really enjoyed everything from the previous trip and ESPECIALLY recommend doing the scuba route which is truly unforgettable (we literally had a shark swim with us in Saba!). Yes, of course I still highly recommend Broadreach. To Broadreach: sorry, you're stuck with me (I'm gonna keep coming back :)

Edit 2: Summer 2026 I attended the 17 day sailing and scuba adventures as part of the first program from June 14 to July 1st. When I tell you, this was my favorite Broadreach trip (so far) I mean it!!!!!!! 17 days was a much more laid-back experience and now that I am in high school it was so nice to have more chill, laid back students and instructors. We scuba dive so much and the certifications we got were well worthwhile. We did community service on Statia and Saba and overall had the time of our lives!! Don’t worry, Broadreach, I will be coming back :).

A Great Trip

Learning how to dive on this trip and meeting all of these super nice people from all over the world was amazing. The Caribbean is a beautiful place and I had so much fun with Broadreach I would definitely do it again. There was always food and they were accommodating to anyone who didn't like something or had an allergy. Visiting the towns were wonderful and I loved sleeping on the tramp of the boat. I spent an insane amount of time outside this trip and being detached from my phone was a plus for sure!

What was your funniest moment?
When my group would make funny inside jokes and say they throughout our trip.
Pros
  • Beautiful place
  • Outdoors all the time
  • Friendships

Broadreach

Broadreach was overall the most amazing experience. The staff right away was so welcoming and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They truly care about you and your growth as a person. The friends made on the boat truly are for life and is so fun to get to know them over the three weeks. The scuba diving was so amazing and the instructors truly were there for me facing my fears. Going to town was so fun and the hikes were even better getting to see the most breathtaking views along side your new best friends.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Try everything and make as many friends as you as possible!
Pros
  • Scuba diving
  • Hiking
  • People

Caribbean

This experience was the first time I have left the country alone, it pushed me to become confident in actions throughout traveling and also to introduce myself to new people in the way I wanted to be perceived. This program not only provided and opportunity to meet knew people and experience the world but also learn new levels that I could puss my comfort. I had an amazing time learning and teaching others about my life experiences and culture. Traveling to a new place inspired me to be more confident and feel comfortable traveling alone.

What would you improve about this program?
As a rising freshmen I decided to do the middle school program, I think I would change that and do the highschool one if I redid my experience.
Pros
  • Seeing the world
  • Meeting new people
  • Living on a boat in the Caribbean
What other participants should know
  • Sea sickness
  • Leaving home
  • Being scared to try new things

Broadreach Adventures are Great!

I did my first adventure this summer, and I have no regrets. The three week/21 day scuba rescue diver course was challenging and fun. Every kid was kind and welcoming to me, even though my plane got in late due to the crowdstrike fiasco. The staff were incredible! Hats off to Jenny, Ellis, and Nathan, who were all kind, funny, and very knowledgeable. Jenny carried her knowledge of sailing with her everywhere, and got me interested too. Sailing the catamaran is super fun! Ellis takes a serious and safe approach to diving, making the whole process easy and very safe. Each dive was fun, and the learning and training necessary, while demanding was rewarding. Nathan was all around a great person, helping with injuries, and always being positive and funny. I enjoyed this camp, and if you are serious about diving, you will too!

What was your funniest moment?
My favorite/funniest moment was sitting around the table after dinner, doing gums and glows. Everything, while supposed to be calming, allowed us to bond as we poked fun at the cooking of our peers, and funny things that had happened, like pushing each other into the water off of the boat, which happened a lot!
Pros
  • Diving
  • Sailing
  • Friends

  • Cleaning at the end of the Trip
