Lachie Makene – SCUBA Instructor

For as long as I can remember I’ve been spending time in, on and under the water. I spent countless years roaming beaches and exploring places that few ever have the chance to. For me diving is a real passion, it is something I want to be able to share with anyone who is willing. It is a way to forget about everything and experience things many people can only ever imagine.

I have been lucky enough to experience some amazing diving internationally, specifically the Philippines, Raja Ampat (Indonesia), which is one of the most beautiful regions of the world and Papua New Guinea where I was able to explore countless WWII wrecks. These places are all unique in their own way and the list for future travel is forever growing!

I am currently an instructor with three training agencies; PADI, SSI and more recently RAID. I love teaching the Deep, Enriched Air Nitrox and Wreck Diving Specialties and I have found that these are the most rewarding specialties and allow people to take their diving adventures further and experience more of what the ocean has to offer.

I am currently studying for a Bachelor of Tourism Management here at Victoria University. While I am based in Wellington I will be working part-time with Dive & Ski HQ running courses, dive trips and working in the shop.
