Throughout Semester 1 the Outdoor Education class were given the option to complete snorkel skills or a PADI Open Water Dive course. We had 5 students opt in to the PADI course which meant they were going to complete an internationally recognised SCUBA Diving qualification. Over the duration of Semester 1 these students completed online learning, a day of skills in school pool, then they had to complete 4 dives in the sea. We were lucky enough to get involved with Dive Kaikoura so headed up there late in Term 1 to complete the course. Unfortunately we only managed to get one day in due to weather so went back on the 1st of May to get fully certified. With a water temperature of about 12 degrees the students got set and took on their final 2 dives and had their paper work signed off. Congratulations to Mackenzie, Briar, Georgia, Caleb, and Luke who are now officially Open Water Certified Divers.
