Mario from General Santos  | Scuba Diver

Hello!

My name is Mario - my first dive was the Introduction to Diving which I did in the island of Boracay in 2010 during a vacation, I knew I was hooked. I am back in the Philippines from the U.S. and am taking care of my 90 year old mother and the family business which I had to learn and kept me very busy.

My schedule is much more relaxed now and took/got my PADI Open Water Certification done thru Seadog Divers at El Nido, Palawan with my best friend Ramon who came to the Philippines to celebrate his 40th birthday!

I am now working on the PADI Advanced Course in General Santos City at the Lemlunay Resort located in the Province of Sarangani. I’ve did my first deep dive (really cool!) at Tinoto Wall, did my Underwater Naturalist Dive at Tinoto Sandbar and Tinoto Wall.

We did a fun dive at Maasim Reef (heaven!) which my instructor Avi says is almost like Tubbataha Reef but with less fish...I intend to do my Underwater Photography here. I plan to do a dive at Tubbatah Reef next year...

I am glad I got myself certified and look forward to more incredible dives and fun people along the way.
Hope to see you in the Philippines one day soon!

Mabuhay!
