Meet Jack Broad, who works for Dive HQ Christchurch as a Dive Instructor. Jack qualified as an Instructor with Dive HQ Christchurch, completing his Diploma in Scuba Diving Instruction in 2015 with specialties in night dive, deep dive, nitrox, navigation, and O2 provider.
Jack teaches our Tertiary Students who are taking their one year Diploma in Professional Scuba Instruction, here at Dive HQ Christchurch (rated a 5 STAR Instructor Development Centre by PADI).
Jack says his favourite thing about teaching Instructors is seeing his student’s progress from inexperienced and unsure to confident, experienced divers ready for a career in diving.
Jack also teaches recreational courses to students in Open Water and Advanced Open Water, both locally and at Kaikoura.
Jack’s favourite dive site is one he experienced for the first time in 2015.
The Great Barrier Reef in Australia is Jack’s favourite dive site. Leaving Port Douglas in November sunshine, this boat dive took Jack exploring in 30 degree water. With depths of 25-30m and visibility of 40+ metres, Jack describes the water as warm and crystal clear.
This dive saw Jack experience turtles, sharks, mauri wrasse, and giant clams, together with an abundance of coral of all types, shapes and sizes.
