You are warmly invited to join us for our private screening of TESTING WATERS!
Testing Waters follows David, a saturation diver who spends his working life in total darkness, hundreds of metres underwater. Before the ocean, he was a convicted offender who lost his mother young and drifted without guidance. This 20-minute documentary traces what came after — the rejection, an unlikely calling, a near-death dive, and the slow work of rebuilding trust with family. It's an honest look at what it costs to keep choosing change.
About the Event
This is an evening about second chances, told through a real story. Testing Waters follows a saturation diver who once had a criminal record and now works one of the world's most extreme professions, hundreds of metres underwater.
But it isn't just a film — it's an honest look at how people really recover from setbacks like that, and what it takes to rebuild.
Through the documentary and live sharing that follows, you'll hear raw stories of second chances, challenge quiet assumptions about personal growth, and discover what it truly takes to start again.
We are thrilled to bring you these highlights!

dialogue on rehabilitation & community
This isn't a one-way sharing session. It's a chance for everyone in the room, including you — to rethink what rehabilitation and community support can look like.
