Summer Scuba diving

Posted on August 4, 2016 by Asia Divers

Another great week down here in Puerto Galera, a few thunder storms here and there but really good diving has prevailed.

Congratulations to Chieneke, Sanne and Sjoerd on completing their PADI OW course in such a wonderful location. The Philippines has amazing corals and beautiful marine life and Asia Divers in Puerto Galera is in the heart of the coral triangle.

Torstein and Hilde Hansen from Norway have been in Puerto Galera, scuba diving for three weeks and having a great diving holiday. They’ve completed their PADI Rescue/EFR courses had some fantastic dives and achieved their 300 dive milestone. We’ve had so much fun with these guys and hope that we see them again soon. Well done on the course and make sure you wear your special Asia Divers T-shirts with pride!

Congratulations to our newest certified Divemaster

Posted on July 28, 2016 by Asia Divers

Congratulations to Ross McLeod on completion of his PADI Divemaster course. Ross has spent the last month doing EFR Rescue and finally DM. He’s done a splendid job with his DM training and been a great help around the shop on his internship. His DM party at the Point Bar on Saturday night was one of the best for a while, hosted by Mum and Dad, AKA Sarah & Ham, who made sure there was plenty of drinks and food for all. To cap it all Ross knocked back 5 beers on his snorkel test, followed shortly by a not too shabby 38 second Stairway to Hell shooter challenge. Well Done Ross!
