Sibneal, What a story…

Sibneal came to us struggling with a family. We saw he had potential, so we gave him a job simply as a driver in the beginning.  He started in 2019 just before covid hit Fiji. When the boarders opened again, he was very keen not just to get back to work but learn.

LEARN, he did. He started learning everything he could from servicing tanks & equipment, through to the art of diving. Including studying and becoming one of our very passionate team Boat Captains. He continued to do well and it showed.

Now Sibneal, not only is a certified Divemaster but, he also went on to providing for his family by becoming married to his wife and building a house from his hard work. Sibneal not only is a very proud member of Diveawayfiji. He is part of our family forever
