Broadreach Advanced Scuba Adventures

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".

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!

The most fun summer of my life that’s all there is to say.

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!

Broadreach was the experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable exposure to the beauty of the underwater world and taught me about diving. The program was well-organized, with a perfect balance of diving time and spending time with a wonderful group of people. Each dive was completely different, and I found myself falling more in love with the ocean every time. Although the sailing and scuba diving were beyond amazing, the lifelong friends I made along the way were the most important part.

I have been on 3 Broadreach trips now, and all of them have been incredible. There are so many incredible counselors who help with the trips and really do make it fun. I have done both the land-based trips and live aboard trips and in both cases, the team makes it really easy to get accustomed to the different places. It may seem scary, especially as a first-time trip, but I promise you will make lifelong friends on the trip and more than that, have incredible once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Every Broadreach trip has inspired me to learn to see the world with even more wonder and has given me a renewed respect for our planet.
