Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
This was an incredible program! Not only did it help me grow as a diver, I was able to truly be immersed in a new culture! |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
It was a beautiful location. From the moment I stepped off the plane I was greeted by a friendly Broadreach employee and many more later! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
Who does not like living on a boat? Sleeping under the stars is amazing. |
| * Food: |
The food is okay but I don't expect anything special while living on a boat. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
|
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
I ended up getting a staph infection and the instructors were quick to take me to the doctor so it did not get worse! The doctors on the island Saba were very nice and they had a clean office! |
| * Safety: |
Safety was the biggest thing our instructors focused on. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
No
I want variety and different experiences! But if I do a program like this again I will definitely choose Broadreach! |
