Resort owner Rick Stanley was recently appointed as SCUBA Diving Advisor to Parks Canada due to his stalwart work in the industry. An ardent conservationist, he is a founder of Ocean Net and his passion for the sea and protection of what lies beneath the waves was recently recognized by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization). In their 2006 Special Edition book 'Heritage at Risk', Ocean Quest's activities are featured as a prime example of how preservation of the ocean's resources, marine life and underwater cultural heritage can benefit from a thriving tourism business. Add to this the fact that they are the winner of National, Provincial and Local Sustainable Tourism Awards for 3 consecutive years and it's not difficult to see why they are becoming one of the 'hottest' international adventure tourism operators.
The Avalon Peninsula's aquatic environment offers adrenalin-pumping encounters with marine mammals, awe-inspiring natural beauty and incredible historical sites which are easily accessible to anyone visiting or living there. Learning to SCUBA Dive to enjoy these delights even more hasn't been simpler and Ocean Quest, the only Technical Diving & SCUBA Diving International (TDI/SDI) 5 Star Training Facility in Atlantic Canada, offers on-line training programs for new divers. These innovative SDI programs allow students to develop Diving knowledge in their own home, at their own pace, prior to in-water training and certification, whilst still having access to instructors for guidance if they wish. The program is extremely popular, especially with people who want to learn but can't spare the time to attend classroom sessions or who live a long distance away.
