eLearning your way to a great holiday

Posted on October 30, 2014 by Asia Divers

A big congratulations to Jeannette Tam for completing her PADI Open Water course with us after doing the eLearning at home in Hong Kong. By doing the eLearning Jeannette was able to join in on some fun dives after the course. This meant that she left here very comfortable in the water and with a big smile on her face.

Congrats to the Rescue Diver team Crispian Farrow, Ferdi and Troy. Crispian did the eLearning beforehand and came here to do the water work for the course. Because of the eLearning he had some extra time, so he also did his Deep specialty course and had even more time to join in on the fun dives after.

Look who’s back!

Wonderful to have Klaus back with us for the second time this year but too bad that Gabi had to stay home for work.

October on the beach

Posted on October 17, 2014 by Asia Divers

This past week finished off a holiday in China and Hong Kong and we’ve had wonderful diving conditions to make everyone who was here very happy. Looks like the weather is staying like this for a while now so grab you bags and come on down! With the “Blood Moon” last week it was also a chance to put down the cameras and enjoy some great drift diving. Canyons and Kilima have been very popular dive sites!

Sometimes it’s great just to be able to go with the flow…

Nico Dijkstra and Paul Warren enjoyed the rides for sure!
