Bonaire’s Teens Get the Opportunity to Try Diving
Last Sunday, it was a memorable day for several of Bonaire’s teen youth, who were able to try out scuba diving for the first time, courtesy of Dive Friends Bonaire.
Dive Friends has just launched a new program for teens living on Bonaire. After interactive presentations on diving at some of the island’s schools, a group of adventurous teens met last Sunday for their first dive. Eligible participants received a free Discover Scuba Diving experience at the Dive Friends @ Yellow Submarine facility, making their first dive on the house reef under the supervision of a PADI instructor. All participants were also eligible to enter a contest for a free open water course, compliments of Dive Friends.
Their goal is to stimulate interest among the island’s youth to learn more about diving and why it’s such an important component to the island economy. Further, it’s hoped that some of these young men and women may seek careers in the diving industry and further their diving education. (Source: Dive Friends Bonaire)
