We met our full Part-Time Level 3 Rescue Diver crew this weekend at Lake Pupuke 🤿
Such a good mix of people, all with different goals but the same passion for diving.
Some are balancing full-time office jobs and using diving as the perfect weekend reset. One student is training while their partner completes our Full Time Diploma in Scuba before they head overseas together to travel and work in diving 🌎
Another diver is already planning to join our Full Time Diploma next year after discovering a passion for the marine industry, while another is preparing for future marine science study and wants the dive skills to work underwater as a researcher.
This is what we love most about part-time training — real people building confidence, community and future opportunities while still working during the week.
Our Part-Time Rescue Program runs weekends through until November.
Thanks to our Instructor Antz for leading this great group of divers through this adventure

Last Sunday at the Lake. One advantage of the diving at the Lake is you're straight in. Here's Kaden and his PADI Openwater crew and his demo of a Giant Stride. No jumping! 🤿
What did you do this weekend?
Did you breath clean air?
Did you get outside?
Our PADI Opnewater Divers, PADI Advanced Divers and our Part-time Level 3 Divers were out running through Navigation workshops with our Instructors Antz and Kaden. #

We would like to introduce our wonderful Part-Time Level 3 crew this weekend who were running through navigation workshops at Lake Pupuke this weekend and what an awesome group of people they are🤿
Every diver has a different story and a different reason for starting their journey with Dive HQ Auckland. From future marine science students and aspiring dive professionals, to busy office workers looking to swap stress for bubbles and connection with like minded people on the weekends, this crew is already building an incredible dive community together.
One student is completing the course while their partner studies on our Full Time Diploma in Scuba, with plans to travel and work around the world together as dive professionals. Another diver is already planning to join our Full Time Diploma next year after discovering a passion for the marine industry. Others are balancing full-time careers during the week and using diving as the perfect reset from busy work life.
Our Part-Time NZ Certificate Level 3 runs weekends through until November this year and is designed for people who want to gain PADI professional-level diver training while still working or studying during the week.
If you’ve been thinking about taking your diving further, changing direction, building confidence, or starting your own underwater adventure we’d love to hear from you.
