Our trips are one-of-a-kind, life changing adventures. But don’t just take our word for it.

I began as a 14 year old high school student on an Underwater Discoveries trip and wrapped up my time as a student back in the Caribbean with the DM and IDC courses. I could not have asked for a better experience; this course in particular taught me responsibility, trust and confidence. It gave me an entirely new perspective on life, one that I brought back to college and applied to both my studies and my friendships. I have always had a love for water, but this course solidified my passion for the underwater world. It inspired me to become a Broadreach staff member and pursue my dreams no matter what they may be. At a young age, Broadreach ignited a passion for adventure within me and it has yet to dissipate. I cannot speak more highly of the professional level courses offered through Broadreach and I certainly have not forgotten the experiences and opportunities they provided for me. ”— Katherine H (age 20)
This trip, along with every other Broadreach trip I have been on was ...: “This trip, along with every other Broadreach trip I have been on was truly fantastic. The staff are great- a good mix of professional and fun. I really enjoyed the freedom of the trip and the level of responsibility that was expected along with it. I thought that the divemaster portion of the course was really good and enjoyed the fact that we were sailing along a couple ude boats that we were able to help out with. I think the opportunity to have experience with real divers was very valuable. The two weeks (maybe slightly less) of the divemaster course were very intense and very busy, but I feel like we were able to get in a lot of diving and cover a lot of necessary skills that were important for the instructor course. I really liked how we had many opportunities to practice skills so that by the time we had to demonstrate them they were almost second nature- this made the skills in the instructor course much easier also. The instructor course was great also. Our course director, Assar, was really great and it was very evident that he had a lot of experience teaching the IDC. It was extremely helpful that he made up practice tests for us to do and I felt like because of this I was very well prepared for the written tests and end ended up doing even better than I had anticipated. Also I felt like we did a lot of skill demonstrations and lesson plans which was good because, once again, it made me feel really well prepared for the IE. We went through almost every skill that we might encounter on the IDC, which was really useful and made it much less stressful. Despite the mosquitos, I also enjoyed living at the pad. It was really nice to have an area that we could come back to to hang out and study and it was really fun being able to help and talk to a lot of the students passing through the pad. The IDC was definitely a lot of work and I was exhausted by the end of it, but it all paid off when I passed the IE and became and instructor. I would highly recommend this trip to any one who is considering it and would be more than willing to answer any questions about my experience. ”— Grace O (age 19) from Westport, CT

Grayson Kirk once wrote that: ‘The most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and others’. Broadreach has had this invaluable impact on Jordan and he sees it directly in this way. Thank you!”— Joel S from Guilford, CT
