These divers decked out in full diving gear are elementary school graduates, gathering underwater to receive their diplomas.
Kenting Elementary has held an underwater graduation ceremony for five years now. This time, a record 19 graduates participated. For over a year now, they have learning to dive in preparation for this unforgettable experience.

I’m so excited and happy. I’ve learned before, but always in a swimming pool.
Kenting Elementary student
I was thrilled the entire time, since this was my first time diving.
Taking advantage of their location, Kenting Elementary students begin marine activities from first grade. By sixth grade, they know how to dive, and some have even been certified.

Kenting Elementary principal
Right now we have 13 students who have their diving certification. We also encourage them to do advanced training.
This unique underwater graduation is more than just a quirk of their school. It’s also a memory the students will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
