Allan and Alli have returned from DEMA in Orlando Florida. It was great to catch up with business partners, friends, colleges and connecting with others in the diving industry who share the same passion and understanding as we do. We hope to see more divers from the U.S. heading our way soon!

Now it was time for a bit of fun! Allan and Alli did a side trip in the U.S. to visit Ken Knezick from Island Dreams Travel at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Ken and his multi-talented group perform at the Agora, Gypsy Dance Theater four times a day every Saturday and Sunday for two months and we just happen to time our trip right for  this. What an amazing group of people who continued to impress us throughout our whole time there with their talent and kindness.

The last part of the U.S. tour included a stop in Houston to spend a couple days with Ken and Eva and Tina (whom we also work with from Island Dreams Travel) and her husband, Bob. Thank you to everyone for showing us such wonderfully kind hospitality in your neck of the woods

It’s with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to Mal Hammer and his lovely wife Larissa Jefferson.

Larissa has had a three year posting with the Aussie Embassy and in that time they have become great friends to us all. Mal got straight into his Divemaster course three years back and has been around to help out at almost every major diving event involving international schools and some of our larger American groups. Larissa came down to see us when she wasn’t busy, usually with a load of great mates! She completed Rescue, EFR and many dives to boot! Now their time is over we just can’t believe it’s gone so quick.

We wish you all the best in your new adventure in Canberra and hope you won’t forget us!

Come over for a “spooktacular night! Rooms are still available. Contact admin@asiadivers.com

Asia Divers hosted the HUGYCUP photo and video competition from the 22nd of February until the 17th of April 2015. During that time we got to meet lots of amazingly talented photographers and videographers who were all here for the competition.  The amount of big cameras around here during that time was quite the sight! Over the past few months the judges have had their hands full judging all the photos in the many different categories. The end results were displayed and announced last Saturday in Belguim.
