Windward Island Expedition
|
Known as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean”, Dominica boasts a rugged and unspoiled beauty that begs to be explored. The largest and most mountainous of the Windward Islands, its green volcanic peaks tower almost 5,000 feet above sea level. With untamed tropical rainforests, crystal clear streams, cascading waterfalls, tranquil black sand beaches and the absence of any large scale tourist development, Dominica is truly one of the most pristine islands in the world. In addition to its natural splendor, the island enjoys a rich culture which comes from its mix of Kalinago Indian, Colonial European, African and Creole peoples. Join us on a community service adventure to discover the ecological and cultural treasures of Dominica while volunteering alongside its welcoming inhabitants and making a real contribution to their communities in need. Then embark on a weeklong sailing voyage to explore neighboring islands in the French West Indies.

Our studies are intertwined with world-class diving and adventure. Students live in funky eco-lodges nestled in mountain rainforests and aboard 50-foot yachts.

PADI Professional Training Courses
|
Broadreach offers professional dive training courses which develop strong leadership and interpersonal skills, in addition to diving expertise. We established the Divemaster Intern Program (DIP) and the Divemaster Program (DM). While the first and foremost goal of these programs is to earn a professional level diving certification, candidates also build a foundation of invaluable leadership skills. The PADI Divemaster course involves hard work and rigorous training, but the payoff is both rewarding and immediate. With the successful completion of DIP or DM, Divemaster candidates are certified to work anywhere in the world leading dives as a diving professional.
Divemaster Program (DM) – This shorter route to achieving your PADI Divemaster certification does not include an intern component.
The PADI OWSI program is the next professional level certification after Divemaster. During this course, qualified candidates learn to use and adapt the PADI system of diver education to individual student needs through comprehensive instructor training.
