MY TEACHER...

-
Time flies! I been a Dive Professional for already 20years, it seem like yesterday. For those who were trained by me and enjoyed my instructions, have you ever thought who trained me? Well, never forget those who have given you an opportunity in life and before I continue to write more in my Blog, I would like to acknowledge my Master; Steven Lim.

He given me an opportunity to excel, believe it or not I was a shy guy when I was young and I could not believe that I will ever become a Diving Instructor. This guy saw the potential in me and given me the opportunity to become a Diving Professional. It was not easy but fulfilling and attending so many courses in my life, he is still the best instructor I ever encounter in my life. I really thank him for what he have done for me and I will never ever forget my Master.

Through him, he given me a good foundation as a Professional and I became a PADI Master Instructor at a young age of 24years old. He given me a quote that I will never forget in life... A Good Diver Is Always Learning. I believe this also apply in our daily life that we never stop learning and upgrading ourselves. I took his advise and continue my education in diving, my last adventure was taking up the Advanced Trimix Instructor Course under Technical Diving International and I went to a depth of 125m with a total bottom time of 100mins underwater. It was the greatest achievement in my life and I plan to break a record of 180m in 2012. I also plan to continue my education and become a Closed Circuit Rebreather Instructor in 2012.

Thank you Master Steven Lim for giving me the opportunity in life without your guidance and advises, I may not be as successful as a Diving Instructor.

RENEWAL OF TOUR GUIDE LICENCE

The following is an email to express my thought as a Tour Guide in Boracay Island but first thing first I would like thank Tatay Rey & Atty. Helen Catalbas of DOT Region VI in providing us the Tourists Arrival for 2012. For 2012, total arrival of Chinese & Taiwanese is 174,567 and Korean is 156,445. I would like mention these 2 markets since 90% of the tourists in these 2 markets do not speak English and totally rely on the assistance of tour guides in the island. Tour Guides for these 2 markets are Frontliners representing Philippines as a destination for fun and enjoyment. We are also representing Boracay Island as one of the best destination in the world and doing our best to represent well of the island. When tourists arrived at Caticlan Ferry Terminal, this is the first place of impression after 11/2hrs of bus journey from Kalibo Airport. Tourists are observing and excited to travel to Boracay Island but tourists are asking why are there a group of Officers acting very

TIDES & CURRENTS

-
Tides Have played in the beach for more than 6hours? Did you realise the same spot that you were playing become dry? Where is the water? When I was young, I thought it was magic but as I grow older than I understand that these changes are called tides due to the result of the gravitational pull of the moon and to a smaller extent, the sun. Tides affect divers by exposing or concealing rocks that are or near the water's surface. For example, a low tide may expose rocks that make the entry and exit hazardous, but when the tide rises, these rocks may be completely submerged and safe to swim over. You may also avoid long surface walk if you are diving in high tides. Currents In the ocean, currents are formed by winds, waves, tides, and the rotation of the earth. In the northern hemisphere, currents move clockwise and in the southern hemisphere, current move counterclockwise. As divers, we need to know the different kind of currents and to resp
