Australia Celebrating 20 Years PADI Membership |
 20 years is a huge commitment to any organisation and recently the ‘PADI Class of 1988’ gathered for a weekend of diving to celebrate 20 Years of PADI Membership.
PADI Course Director, Richard Nicholls owner of Dive Centre Manly, recognized the significance of this occasion and worked with the PADI Asia Pacific team to contact old friends to celebrate. A location was needed and where better than a local liveaboard trip on Oceantrek at beautiful Jervis Bay, south of Sydney.
Six PADI Members, including four Course Directors, plus family and friends were able to make the trip with apologies received from three more.  PADI Members Celebrating 20 years, L to R: Greg Sawdy, Brent Hedges, Richard Nicholls, Lyn Cleary, John O’Brien and Logan Apperley. A great weekend was had by all with fantastic diving in clear water from the outstanding liveaboard.
