Dive Certification for our Senior High School Students

Our Senior High School students are now certified divers (April 2021)

An important part of our high school concept consist of offering young people opportunities for hands-on practice. This is the only way to ensure a smooth transition into the business world later on. If it were not for the challenges caused by COVID-19, our two senior high school students would probably already have had their first internship experience in the tourism sector. Unfortunately, this was not possible during the last 12 months. Nevertheless, it was now time for the fundamental knowledge of the two boys to be expanded and strengthened so that they will be able to work in tourism or environmental protection in the future.

Thanks to our good network, which now extends far beyond the borders of Raja Ampat, we found an internationally certified dive centre on Gili Trawangan. They were willing to train our two students to become SSI Advanced Open Water Divers in April 2021, free of charge. During the almost two-week course, Edy and Melando worked together with their dive instructor on their internationally recognised dive certification. In ad
