Let the young ones experience the thrill of flying and breathing underwater.  They will see colorful and geometrically diverse marine life.  The intro dive will teach the kids to respect the environment. It may also be their first step into a lifelong passion for scuba diving.

We conduct intro scuba to popular Anilao dive sites:  Cathedral, Twin Rocks, Secret Bay and others. Get them to discover scuba diving under the supervision of a NAUI instructor.

2011 Philippine Biodiversity Expedition

The California Academy of Sciences is doing a comprehensive survey of both terrestrial and marine diversity. Between April 26 and June 10, 2011, Academy botanists, entomologists and marine biologists, will explore shallow-water reefs, the deep sea, and terrestrial and freshwater areas for new life and document the biodiversity of this island nation. Educational outreach will also be conducted in the Republic of the Philippines.

The work is being done in order to protect, we need to understand what exists. Scientists will document species diversity, ecosystem diversity (number, type and structure of species in a particular area) and genetic diversity (total gene characteristics). It’s critical to get these data as a baseline for future needs.

Scientists estimate that more than 70% of the species on this planet have yet to be discovered. In fact, our scientists have been diving in the Philippines since 1992 and continue to discover new species on every trip.

Here is a sneak peek into the soon to be release Olympus underwater camera housings for future models E-PL2 (ILC or mirrorless m4/3) and XZ1 (point and shoot).  I hope this time the lens port would be interchangeable, if you remember the previous Olympus released E-PL1 housing had a fixed port which limited the lens options you could bring on a dive.
