Welcome back to Brian Moh and to our new friend Andrey Erishev from Pacdome Travel in KL. Alli met Brian at the MIDE dive show in KL last and shortly after he came over to do his Rescue and Divemaster courses with us.
Brian is a professional photographer and got this great shot of the dive deck. He also became a PADI Digital Underwater Photo Instructor so he can now combine his job skills with his passion for diving. What a great combination!
Continuing for 2014, Andy Norman conducted a Cressi Sub service seminar at Asia Divers in Puerto Galera on 30th January for students just finishing IDAP courses or were previously qualified instructors through IDAP that wanted to know more knowledge and theory of regulators. Continue reading
Jikai approached his dive guide, Brad prior to the dive and told him he wanted to propose to his girlfriend Liu Na underwater. So Brad got a slate and Jikai wrote his proposal in it. Towards the end of the dive, Brad handed him the slate and then he showed it to Liu Na. Of course she was surprised, but happily for all she indicated a “YES” and he proceeded to pull out a ring and place it on her hand, all under the watch of Brad and Rob who was filming the whole thing!

Sacha Traboulsi had a very special wish for his eighth birthday. He wanted to do his bubblemaker…and he sure did! Congratulations to Sacha who took to the new aquatic environment effortlessly and despite the chilly temperature, he liked the whole thing enough to do a follow-up dive the next day. You can see how excited Sacha is and his little sister Erika already thinking about getting to do her bubblemaker in a few years
A big day of diving for the Boswell family! Harry Boswell and Kenneth Fiel completed their Open Water course with Troy and got to go out on a fun dive with dad, Geoff. Shannon and Corine Fitzpatrick also got in on the action doing a refresher dive to get back into the swing of things with Troy and our two Dive Master candidates, Jan Bjork and Tommi Kokkola.
What a way to spend a holiday!! Max Qiao from China has been keeping busy this week doing a “Divemaster Experience week”. This is a great opportunity for all you certified Divemasters to gain some “real life” experience helping out on the dives and courses with a group of very experienced instructors. You’ll learn heaps, and have lots of fun too. Just contact us if you would like some more information.
Jennifer Mobbs is showing Pete a thing or two on her bubblemaker pool and ocean dives. We suspect that she’ll take to it just like her mom and dad of course
Congratulations to our newest certified PADI Divemaster, Shivantha De Zoysa. Shiv did an amazing job and finished the whole thing in style with back to back party nights in the bar. Time to go home for a rest Shiv…
Pete’s back from his live-aboard trip on the Komodo Dancer. Pete, David Warner, Jeremy Bright, Sue Smith, Gary Hadler, and Tony Weston enjoyed seven days exploring the amazing area of Alor, east of Flores. As usual, great diving combined with a fun group made the trip a huge success. Keep in mind that we’ve got a trip scheduled for Socorro, Rocio del Mar, April 30-08 May, 2014. Contact Tommy@asiadivers.com if you’re interested.
We’re thrilled that Bruce Jenner was here to earn himself a 300 dive club shirt with all of us and daughter Charlotte (Charlie). Good to see you back after such a long break!
