Choice Camps Recommendation of Broadreach: Sinai Experience

Since 1993, Broadreach has been a leader in worldwide summer adventure education for teens. While each Broadreach program has its own special blend of activities and learning, all share a common philosophy and characteristics - small group size, personal growth within a team, hands-on education, skill building with a learn-by-doing approach, cultural immersion, leadership opportunities, and at least one community service project. Of course, unique adventures, close friendships, and new experiences are also part of every Broadreach experience.

Broadreach students travel to incredible places off the beaten path that have been carefully scouted and integrated into the Broadreach program. Each trip is designed to make the most of a given destination, and all locations maximize cultural, educational, and skill building opportunities. Broadreach’s extensive experience gives the organization distinct advantages with respect to staff training, course design, risk management, and safety. For students looking for a summer experience where every day is fun and adventurous, Broadreach may be the perfect choice.

Trip Description

Looking for the ultimate underwater adventure? The Red Sea is hypnotic! Marine life explodes in color and schools of fish thrive in unequaled numbers. Dive among swirling snapper and funnel clouds of batfish in the world's most exotic underwater realm.

This program is designed for participants who are looking for a dive-intensive program and the ultimate underwater adventure. In just three weeks, participants will do over 30 dives in the Red Sea, home to perhaps the world's best diving. Divers can expect to see bright colors, huge schools of fish and hypnotic marine life.

Staff Overview

From sailing captains and PADI SCUBA instructors to teachers, marine biologists, and experiential education professionals, Broadreach leaders all come with solid experience and a genuine desire to work with teenagers. There are two main leaders for every trip, plus additional staff and outfitters who join the group to bring expertise for specific activities or areas of exploration.

All Broadreach staff members participate in pre-program training that includes 80 hours of emergency medical training for course instructors. Broadreach staff members have an average age of 26.

Setting & Accommodations

Travelers sleep in traditional huts about a 10 minute walk from the water’s edge. Each hut accommodates two to three people and there is a great common area. On boat safaris travelers sleep on Broadreach’s comfortable dive boat. There are cabins below, but most participants choose to sleep on deck under the intense stars of Egyptian summer nights. On desert safaris students lay their bedrolls in the sand, just as Bedouins did 1000 years ago.

Safety Standards

At least one staff member on each Broadreach trip has completed Wilderness First Responder or Emergency Medical Technician training.

Broadreach is a fully accredited PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) Five Star Gold Palm facility offering the most comprehensive dive training programs available to teenagers. Broadreach is also accredited by the American Sailing Association, International Yacht Training, DAN Partners in Dive Safety, and USA Waterski.
