Allan was in Manila for the PADI Course Director Update and while there he was presented an award from Jimmy Christrup and Colin Melrose from PADI to Asia Divers for Outstanding Contribution to Diver Entry Level Training in 2013…. Meaning Asia Divers certified more divers last year than anyone else in our area. Mint!
Congratulations go to David Giles, Dwight Lloyd and Ming Jun “Max” Qiao on completing the Cressi-sub regulator service seminar on 9th June at Asia Divers in Puerto Galera.
With just three students on the course gave plenty of time for more personal attention per student with plenty of questions thrown around the room for all to debate upon.
In fact between David and Dwight they both come to the conclusion that with Ming taking some many photos of the guts of the regulator, the photos were going back to main land china as blue prints to copy Cressi regulator…
Once again the regulators used for strip down and rebuilding was Cressi’s very popular AC2 and MC5 first stages, while the Second stages for strip down was Cressi’s compact and ellipse regulator.
For anyone wishing to take part in this one day fully authorized course in your area then please contact Andy Norman by email: andy@asiadivers.com
These two likely lads, Andrew Gray and Andrew Fowler bashed out their PADI Night dive specialty with Pete, over three consecutive nights. And as they are both called Andy! Mr. Fowler (right) also turned his hand to the Digital Underwater specialty too! Taking a specialty course is a great way to learn some new skills while having fun diving. Contact us if you’re interested in taking one of our specialty courses and perhaps becoming MSDT.

Here’s a great shot by Mazi of a hairy frog fish with its mouth open and its worm-like lure that can be seen just above its eye. It was spied by our DM candidate Mary at The Giant Clams dive site. Great shot Mazi
I guess none of us have been feeling too sorry for Troy over the last few weeks as he has been conducting the Dive master course for the lovely Mary Vergara and Wenjing Fan (Fun). Unfortunately all good things must come to an end. That happened on Friday night when Mary and Fun had their combined DM party and initiation. There was plenty of beer and pizza and both lasses did a super job at their DM snorkel test which all DM candidates must perform to gain their Fins. They have both been a great help around Asia divers over the last few weeks and we just want to say well done!
It’s never easy to capture the beauty of a sunset and the ambiance that it creates, but I thought a photo from the Barrel Bar around 6: 30 p.m. the other night might be a good start. Magic!
