The “Holy Week”, Easter holiday is still in full swing around here. With the excellent weather and many familiar faces around it’s been a great time for everyone to enjoy their diving vacation on the beach. The water temperature is just starting to warm up and this is the time of the year that the critters are really starting to come out and play.

Sabrina Peaker and Sabrina Parker loved the chance to try out scuba diving the first time with Troy and even more excited about seeing three turtles in the sea grass on their second dive!

Ichiro Hibi earned his Divemaster certification and celebrated in style. Ichi worked very hard doing the practical part of the course in his second language of English but he sure had a lot of fun, especially with the socializing at night time!

Vanessa and Dominic Huber’s dad learned to dive at Asia Divers in 1992 and were happy that he’s come back here to get his kids certified with us.

Lovely to have the girls from Singapore here this past weekend. Sue Breniman, Carol Fusek and Akiko Tada have enjoyed the great diving, wonderful meals, relaxing massages, the sunshine, and of course, the girly hour in the Point Bar the past few days!

A big day for Discovering Scuba at Asia Divers. Craig Fitzgibbon, Elizabeth Francis, Romeo Alvarez, Christian Catly, Reggie Quimosing, and Ina Bianka Silva-Quimosing decided to give it a go with Troy and Jamie, along with Instructor Intern, Tobias and Dive Master Candidate, Ichiro. Everyone enjoyed the experience and the chance to see the underwater world. Hopefully this is the start of a certification!

As Dad David de Marneffe and mom Lorna Avillanosa look on, they are happy to see their kids get their first experience to dive. Lorraine and Loureen Avillanosa can hardly wait to get into the ocean after completing their pool Bubblemaker session. Kids who get started at this age with the bubblemaker program are usually very keen to become Open Water divers with their parent’s encouragement. It makes for a great family holiday!
