📣 Join us in congratulating our two newest SSI Open Water Instructors 📣

What an incredible achievement! and one that has been truly earned 💪🏽

Behind every instructor is a journey of dedication, perseverance, growth, and countless hours spent underwater, learning, practising, overcoming challenges, and believing in themselves 🙌

Today, we’re celebrating not just the certifications they’ve achieved, but the journey that shaped them into the professionals they are today 💦

And while this chapter is complete, another is just beginning.

These two will soon be introducing brand new divers to their very first breaths underwater, helping them overcome fears, build confidence, and discover a lifelong passion for the water. The knowledge, patience, and encouragement they’ve gained along the way will become the foundation for the next generation of divers 🫧

Congratulations Kerry and Byron! you’ve earned every moment of this....and as you can see your Instructor Trainer couldn’t be prouder 💙

Great dives create memories, but the greatest dives create change - we did both 🫧🤿✨💧

This weekend marked our 4th Annual trip to Wellington to support our mates Ghost Diving NZ with their Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club underwater clean up 💪🏽

Together we removed an incredible 976kg of paru from our moana - glass and plastic bottles, cans, metal, timber, ropes, road cones, tyres, a shopping trolley, and countless other items that simply don't belong there ♻️

We're proud to stand alongside a community of divers who don't just enjoy the ocean - they protect it 🙌

Thank you to our incredible divers that made the journey down it was another successful weekend with plenty of laughs, and a whole lot of mahi for a cause that matters.👏 🌊
