PADI Courses
At New Zealand Sea Adventures we are passionate about helping others discover and enjoy the underwater environment. Tony Howell became a dive instructor in 1975 and has been teaching ever since. He formed NZ Sea Adventures in 1980 and has seen many hundreds of keen and dedicated divers pass through the Centre. Many of those subsequently became Instructors and stayed to teach before heading off-shore to dive and teach in exotic places.
New Zealand Sea Adventures was Wellington’s first and is it’s longest established PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre. In 2003 the Centre was awarded PADI’s prestigious Dive Industry Award for “Outstanding Contribution to the Dive Industry”. In 2007, New Zealand Sea Adventures received a PADI Environmental Achievement Award for “Commitment to the conservation of the underwater environment”
As New Zealand’s longest serving PADI Course Director, Tony Howell has received many awards and qualifications for his dedication to diving and to Instructor training. His hope is that our people will discover, learn to love and passionately care for our underwater world.
So what are you waiting for? Come and discover the underwater world with divers who really care!
