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

Broadreach programs are life-changing: “Broadreach programs are life-changing opportunities. When you send your child on one, you are giving them the gift of confidence, friendship, perseverance, and technical skills that will last a lifetime. Our family's two kids have been on a total of seven Broadreach trips -- and it was the best investment we've ever made.”— Cheryl V from Knoxville, TN

He "got it" the big picture I mean. They can so quickly see tunnel vision unless put in a situation that's bigger than themselves. He's ready to go back.”— Susan S from Louisville, KY
This trip showed me a bran new side to diving...: “Diving has been a passion of mine ever since I first took a giant step off the edge of the boat and into the crystal clear water of the Mauritius islands of the coast of Africa. Since then I have been to Broadreach twice, first to complete my advanced and just recently to get my Divemaster. This trip showed me a bran new side to diving, which I never imagined. Arriving before the first boat load of kids ever left, the other Divemaster candidates and myself were excited to start our new certification. Our home for the next two weeks would be Vicky the support boat, and what a home she was. Being only 6 people on the boat meant that we each had more then enough room to make ourselves comfortable. To my surprise we completed most of our training and written work in the first week. After that our hands on experience began as we would help a different instructor everyday to teach their eager group of new divers. As a DM you focus on overseeing and help in individual cases when a student is having trouble with a skill. The first time I was called to help to a student practice a skill I was nervous and very excited, however my anxiety was quickly replace by pride as my student succeed the skill like he had never had a problem. This excitement at teaching other one of my favorite activities only grew as I assigned to a boat. I like to think I had the best boat of kids on the water. Between helping in the water and on board I began to see the other side of Broadreach, which I was not shown on my previous trip as a student. This experience lead me to continue my certifications in diving to the point where by the end of the summer I had become an instructor. Although challenging at times, I could not Imagine a better way to spend a summer.”— Patrick L (age 18) from South Africa

He has a new appreciation for the underwater world and was excited that his hobby (scuba diving) could be used for constructive things. He came back more mature and ready for new responsibilities.”— Jennifer A from Santa Fe, NM

Communication was consistent and helpful during the application process and throughout the trip easing any worries I had. Jordan had a terrific time on trips 2 years in a row! I am 100% confident in recommending Broadreach to other parents who inquire about the trips.”— Nancy P from McLean, VA

He was extremely impressed with the instructors, the overall course presentations, and of course the challenge of diving. He thoroughly enjoyed the friends he met and is keeping in touch. He felt that the program was very professionally run.”— Rebecca S from Santa Barbara, CA
