It was a great day of diving in Puerto Galera, when we took Seattleites ( from Seattle US 😉 ) Cara Poage and Norm Wallace, on their first fun dive since completing their Open Water Certifications, along with Joanne from Taipai, who had just completed her Scuba Diver Course, fun-diver Noah, Danish Divemaster trainee Dennis Frandsen, and Scandi Divers Instructor Conan.
Even with some strong currents, we had a great dive from Small La Laguna to Big La Laguna and enjoyed seeing Puffer Fish, Trigger Fish, Sea Snakes, and a Hawksbill Turtle along the way. ( Turtles are always a crowd-pleaser 🙂 )
Excellent diving and we look forward to more of the same!
This structured program is in 2 parts. Part 1 is pool based & teaches kids the basics of diving. In AquaMissions 1-5 they will hone their skills (regulator recovery & clearing, mask clearing, buoyancy etc). After that students can become Master Seam Team members by moving on to part 2 and completing 10 additional specialty AquaMissions. These specialties are an introduction to other areas of diving. From Creature ID to Search & Recovery to Snapshot Specialist. (Normally a 2 hour pool session for AquaMissions 1-5 + 1 hour for each specialty. Min age 8 yrs. Max depth 4 meters).
At 18 meters beneath the surface, we swam towards the ancient shipwreck. The hull, covered with a myriad of sea creatures, looked like something out of a movie. We floated with the current to the opposite end and spotted two black frog fish hanging out. They were remarkably still; they didn’t try and swim away, and they even stayed still for a few photos!
