Ross McLeod is moving up that PADI ladder. He has finished Enriched Air, EFR and Rescue and now at the beginning of the Divemaster course. You’ll be seeing lots more of Ross over the next while!  The PADI Divemaster course is the first professional level within the PADI System of diver education and allows you to work as a training assistant on PADI courses and programs, supervise certified divers during pleasure diving experiences, and conduct some PADI programs independently. Becoming a PADI Divemaster consists of the following segments: knowledge development, practical application and the Divemaster final exam. We’re got the perfect location for you to learn at with a very experienced instructor team.

What a fun group from the U.S. to have with us. 3 Amigos dive group enjoyed all the wonderful marine life of Puerto Galera and the après dive time as well!

Our good friends from Abyssworld were here again with tour guide Vincent. It was as fantastic few days with all of our signature dives, from Verde Island, Canyons, Alma Jane and finishing off with a great critter dive to the Giant Clams. Happy diving, on the rest of your travels and “au revoir” for now.

The next IDC will soon be upon us, are you ready to start the best career you will ever have?

Becoming a PADI professional takes a lot of hard work and the right attitude; your training begins before you even arrive at Asia Divers. Turning up well prepared will ensure your success and make your IDC a whole lot more fun!

“With fifty people including 36 divers, we organized a trip to Puerto Galera for the 45th anniversary of our diving club “De Kreeft” (The Lobsters) from Belgium.

After a long exhausting journey, the enthusiastic team of El Galleon Beach Resort and Dive Center Asia Divers waited for us. Yes, it was already clear, it would be a fantastic week in the Philippines. Our high expectations were relieved by the professional team of Asia Divers, they guided us into the underwater world to the seahorses, frogfish, ghost pipefish, all kinds nudibranch, unseen coral,……….. Incredible! Also, the trip to Verde Island, an absolute must and with very nice dives. The friendly staff at the El Galleon Beach Resort made our stay as pleasant as possible, also the restaurant is highly recommended. After a week we had to return unfortunately to our home with only half of the group, the other half remained a week longer for some extra dives and to explore Mindoro.

Asia Divers and El Galleon, where service makes the difference.”

What a great couple of weeks it has been to have our old friend back at Asia Divers. This time around Bruce managed to reach the dizzy heights of PADI Divemaster and of course no Divemaster Course is complete without a big party in the Point Bar.

Good times good friends celebrating Bruce’s Divemaster completion!— with Bruce Walker, Pete, Allison, Katarina Caesar, Chelsea Lee, Cris Simpal, Jamie, Troy, and Ruben.

What it a surprise it was when Sarah McLeod contacted us to say she would like to do her OW course…we all thought she was already certified! Sarah and her whole family have been close to all of us here for many years and we we’re thrilled to turn her into a certified diver! Sarah’s son Ross decided to do his DPV course and his girlfriend Christina Ginelle Espino happily “discovered scuba”. All in all, a very wonderful way to spend the holiday with family and in the water.

Look who’s discovering scuba…Ruby’s family Emma Ong Acaba, Rona Zubieto, Patricia Serrano and Karen Alzate.

PG has had the perfect conditions for the big holiday…. It was all sunshine and smooth seas and amazing visibility! It’s been great to have lots of old and new friends here enjoying our piece of paradise. Victor and Christina Maningo had not been diving in four years since doing their OW course so they decided to do a refresher and then get out for some nice dives with their friends in the afternoon. Congratulations also go to Iggy (Ignacio Javellana) for completing his nitrox course…better late than never!

Peter continues to advance through his PADI Instructor Development Course with some great help from Bruce, Brad and Jan
