We talked to LLV PADI Staff Instructor Jamie Morton – the fastest man on two fins and one propeller in Puerto Galera – to talk thresher sharks, exploding coconuts and of course, DPV safaris.
“I think of underwater as a poor man’s outer space. You’re totally weightless, and you’re seeing stuff no-one else can see. It’s a feeling almost of flying.”
We sat down with the woman who has been at LLV Divers since it all began – IDC Staff Instructor Ja Atienza – to talk teaching, turtles, and triggerfish.
“My favourite thing to see is turtles! I’m not only happy when I see them, I want to see the look in the face of my divers when they see the sea turtles. Every time, even if it’s every day or every dive, I am still happy to see them.”
Our guests, and members of our team, got a chance to learn about, donate to, and indeed hang out with some of the great people who work for our partners in the marine conservation group Blue Alliance Philippines on Wednesday evening here at LLV.
The life of a PADI divemaster is an exciting and rewarding one, filled with adventure and the opportunity to explore the world beneath the waves. Lalaguna Villas Luxury Dive Resort & Spa, located in Puerto Galera, is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Resort where we offer a 4-week internship program for divemaster candidates to become fully qualified PADI divemasters.
