June rescue training

Dustin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 13:26:40 +0000

The PADI Rescue Diver course is a 4 day class which is an important step in expanding your Advanced Open Water Diver knowledge and experience.

The PADI Rescue Diver course prepares the diver to help prevent, and if necessary, manage dive emergencies, minor and major, with a variety of techniques. Your diver training and dive educational skills and confidence will be enhanced. Most certified Rescue Divers look back on their rescue diver training as one of the most challenging – sometimes demanding – and therefore most rewarding programs. The subject is serious but the training is superb fun.

Crocodile Rock diving in June

Dustin — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 10:30:22 +0000

On a 20 minute boat ride from White Beach to the other side of the island is Crocodile Rock. Don’t worry, no crocs. From a distance, this small uninhabited island looks like the head of a crocodile. Currents can be fierce except at slack tide, which makes for a beautiful collection of corals. It is a gently sloping wall with several canyons and caves containing a wide diversity of fish. Pretty cool sight.

Tons of fish to see on this dive. Slight current, lots of corals, nudibranchs, unicornfish, garden eels, a big grouper, batfish, clownfish, rapidfish, triggerfish, sweetlips and moorish idol and a 2 meter sea snake.

Camia II wreck dive

Dustin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 07:24:53 +0000

The Camia ship Wreck is the resident ship wreck of Boracay which was sank in 2001 to attract fish and develop an artificial reef. The ship wreck itself is a cargo boat that is 30 meters long. Now the flora and fauna of the Camia ship Wreck has grown extensively and it is now home to many resident fishes such as red bass, scorpion fishes, and a school of batfish, angel fishes, blue spotted stingrays, nudibranchs and bluefin trevallies. The corals have already covered the whole ship wreck which attracts even more schools of fishes.

The starting depth is around 16 meters and the maximum depth of the dive goes into 30 meters. The Camia ship Wreck dive site has a four star rating and you need to be an experienced diver in order to make the dive to the Camia ship Wreck dive site. The advanced open water level is necessary for this dive and the special courses of deep diver and wreck diver have to be finished as well before making the dive to the Camia ship Wreck dive site.

The Camia ship Wreck dive site is hailed by locals and tourists as the best dive site in Boracay not only because it offers the depth and the adventure, but also because of the beautifully developed artificial reef and the fishes that it attracts. The Camia ship Wreck dive site is a must-see whenever visiting Boracay.

Diving Angol Point – Boracay Philippines

Dustin — Sat, 29 May 2010 07:21:25 +0000

We had an awesome time diving with some customers at Angol Point today. This is an excellent dive site for beginners and training dives. The reef is covered with stony corals, leather corals, nudibranchs, anemones, sea stars and sea cucumbers. It is also a favorite for night dives and is a good spot for macro photography. Good for snorkeling, too.
