The Team

After operating Oceans Alive for over eleven years, Kevin and Halina have passed the reins over to John Kennedy the new owner operator. Most of you will already know John as he has been a part of the Oceans Alive Dive team for a number of years. He has been working as a safety diver for the OPITO training as well as instructing scuba and freedivers.

The atmosphere in store is usually relaxed and friendly and we always share a yarn and a chuckle with our customers. But don't let the banter fool you because when teaching people to dive, safety and professionalism take over.
 
 
 
JOHN - Bio to come 
 
MIAH - Bio to come
 
KEVIN is a dual agency SCUBA Diver Trainer with both SSI and PADI.  He has been working as a Dive Instructor in New Plymouth for over twenty years.
 

 
Most of Kevin's diving adventures involve a camera and the gathering of beautiful images of the underwater world.  "I have a passion for all marine life but my favorite underwater creature is the EAGLE RAY (Aetobatus narinari) seen on our business logo"
 
Over the last couple of years he has moved more into Technical Diving purchasing a JJ Rebreather and completing the GUE Fundamentals course. "I want to be the best diver that I can.  I am obsessed with learning how to dive safer and more efficiently,  I constantly practice so I can perform tasks underwater more effectively whilst still taking care of and limiting any damage to the environment"  
 
Early 2022 Kevin started teaching John many of the day to day tasks involved in running of Oceans in preparation for the sale of the business on 1st September.  However, he is still the service tecnician for the shop, working as a safety diver and remains 'on call' as part of the Dive Team.

 

HALINA grew up on Wellington's South Coast where her family were always on or near the wild Cook Strait waters.

She has been involved in all aspects of Oceans Alive administration and operation since its inception in 2011.  Halina still plays an important role as the Administrator for Oceans.
 
"I have been diving for just a few years but i was instantly hooked by the peace and beauty of the underwater world."
 
HALINA's favorite land creature is her horse LowKey and as follows the SEA HORSE (Hippocampus) is her favorite ocean dweller.
