A huge congratulations to Reel van der Merwe on achieving the prestigious PADI IDC Staff Instructor rating!

This milestone represents three years of dedication, hard work, and a passion for developing the next generation of scuba professionals. It's another exciting chapter in the Garden Route Scuba story.

Peter, your belief in me and your willingness to share your knowledge have made a lasting impact. Thank you for being an incredible mentor and friend.

Here's to many more instructors, divers, and adventures ahead! (...and Ice creams at The Point!)
