I finished my diploma of professional scuba instruction with Auckland Scuba in May 2017 and within a few weeks I had managed to land a job with the very people who had taught me.

As if by chance I was thrust into the world of scuba diving, never looking back or dwindling upon a forethought. The course is more […]
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be a part of the Auckland Scuba PADI Recreational Side Mount course. The course consisted of two nights during the week after work, and two days over the weekend. This was a great set up for people who lead busy lives and work full time. The […]
