We are so excited to introduce our 4 young ocean champions (from left to right; Kieran Glass, Tristan Glass, Ryan Swain and Shannon Swain).
They have travelled over from their home island of Tristan da Cunha, a remote island and group of islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, about midway between southern Africa and South America.
The four Young Ocean Champions, have joined us as a part of their intensive summer period of training. They have so far completed several courses with us. They are paving the way for the future of their island, by learning to become certified divers. Currently Tristan da Cunha only has one fully qualified diver. They will take the skills they learn back to Tristan in September and put them to good use in ensuring the integrity of their Marine Protection Zone.
So far, they have completed their PADI Open Water, PADI Open Water advanced, rescue diver with EFR, Enriched Air, DSMB, Equipment speciality and O2 provider.
They will move onto their final leg of their UK journey in Plymouth, before taking their new skills home.
