GOOD DIVERS ARE ALWAYS LEARNING...

-


I started diving at the age of 14 through the influence of my brother when he came back home with his diving equipment. He told me the beauty of the underwater world and told me to get an opportunity to explore the underwater world. Remember working during the School Holiday to achieve a Diving Certification.

When I was in Military School, I was fortunate to be trained as a diver. I continued my education and became a Dive Control Specialist. At age 22, I became a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and in a short span of 2years, I became a PADI Master Instructor.  My teacher taught me to continue my education and he always said to me that a good diver is always learning and I always remember his advises, continue my diving education and presently I am a Specialty Instructor of over 20 diving specialties. I even broke my own personal record of diving to a depth of 125m using Trimix.

We just completed our PADI Instructor Development Course & PADI Instructor Examination and our candidates did well in the examination. I am especially proud of my youngest candidate; Zhantal Que. She started diving when she just turned 18 and took my advise and continue her education. In less than 3 months, she already completed her PADI Divemaster Course and was working as a PADI Divemaster in Sea World Dive Center.

We were scheduled to start our PADI Instructor Development Course in the month of May, the owner of Sea World Dive Center; Mr. Kim who is a PADI Course Director advised Zhantal Que to continue her education and attend the PADI Instructor Development Course, followed by the PADI Instructor Examination. I took charge in training the candidates. During the 10days of training, we teach candidates the fundamental of instructions. How To Present A Knowledge Presentation, Confined Water Presentation and Open Water Presentation. We also teach about the different Standards & Procedures of the PADI Courses. After successfully completed the PADI Instructor Development Course, candidates will be able to attend the PADI Instructor Examination.

I was impressed that Zhantal Que did well during the PADI IDC Course, have trained many candidates and she was the youngest I have taught. She understood the PADI System of Education and did well in her course. When she attended the PADI Instructor Examination, many thought she would not make it. There were some thought she will not do well in her examination due to her age but I was impressed when she finished the PADI Instructor Examination with flying colors.  I am looking forward for her to become the youngest PADI Master Instructor in the next 2 years.

If you are looking for a change of career, if you are looking for a job that can bring you all over the world then I strongly encourage you to become a PADI Professional. Go Pro with Sea World Dive Center, a PADI Career Development Center and be trained by PADI Master Instructor; Master Peter Tay with over 20years of teaching experiences. If you are already a diver then continue your education and become a Dive Professional. Our next PADI Instructor Development Course will be on July 10 – 18 and PADI Instructor Examination on July 20 & 21.

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
