RAID Connect 22′

RAID Connect 22′

Due to lockdowns and social distancing, ‘RAID Connect’ 2021 events were quite challenging for all to organise, support and attend. Eight months ago, 2022 seemed so very far away as did life after lockdown. Guess what? Lockdown is cautiously over and 2022 is but a blink away and ‘RAID Connect 22’ events are back with a vengeance! 

‘RAID Connect 22’ is a series of social diving events planned nationally by RAID and its affiliated dive centers, that everyone is encouraged to attend for the following very cool reasons:

1. These beautiful coastal areas are based on locations that are easily accessible to national and regional divers. 
2. Diving these locations has been subsidised by the lovely local dive operators to encourage RAID divers to try out new waters.
3. Meet like-minded divers – share stories, dives and local/international dive knowledge
4. Try some different dives in new waters.
5. Plan your dives way in advance by joining RAID and connecting with the local centre’s ahead of time to plan your trips.

‘RAID Connect 22’ is much more than just diving. The whole point of these social connections, created by RAID, is to meet other like-minded people to share and learn new experiences in a fun way. There is nothing more beneficial for your dive progression and enjoyment. Enjoying the buzz of diving is unique, it’s the life-blood of this beautiful sport. 

The first stage of attending ‘RAID Connect 22’ is for divers/instructors to contact the RAID dive center to confirm their participation and register their interest with the hosting centre. So who are hosting the events and where?
