A mecca for the journeyman divers. After four years of training, a team of seven diver, the region is an unearthed gem for thresher sharks, manta divers who began their journey in 2009 with a rays, sardine shoals, whalesharks and macrolife. Here the jewel fascination for the underwater world by training as in the Philippine crown is the island known as Malaspacua. Open Water Divers took a greater journey into trying Despite the abundance of marine life, the corals have taken a few to improve reef-dependent communities through hardships with little infrastructure to protect the island from poor teaching and scuba diving. fishing practices as well as the region's natural predators and climate conditions. Throughout the academic year, candidates attain qualifications in After isolating Malapascua as their mission's location, they set advanced level diving, rescue skills, teaching and conservation out for a two-week expedition in August to document the region specialties to build their experience to become PADI Divemaster and test the group's collective spirit. After an 18-hour flight via professionals by the time they complete their Upper Sixth. In Singapore, the team entertained a 4-hour culture shock, overland addition to improving their scuba dive skills, the 2013 LWC drive through Cebu before taking a private 'banca' (traditional Divemasters in training built their confidence by studying varied outrigger) to the island of Malapascua. As the boat calmly cut and groundbreaking conservation initiatives during term time. through the shimmering aqua-blue waters before sunset, there was Added to their experience of improving marine eco-systems on a sense of excitement as our associates welcomed the divers on their expeditions to Malta & Indonesia in 2011 and 2012, the divers the white sands of Bounty beach. decided that this summer they would like to build the first artificial reefs (known as Biorocks) in the Philippines. Candidly speaking, a relatively young group in the diver world harvesting great ambitions to complete technical tasks is often a The divers wanted to take the teachings of the Biorock process tricky hurdle to overcome. After 24 hours of travel, a team meeting with the Gili Ecotrust in Indonesia and apply their knowledge was called in Bungalow 1 to challenge the divers to step up to to improve another part of the world's Coral Triangle. Half way the plate and prove to everyone they were here to represent down the Philippine Map are the Visayas, the central region of themselves the best way possible. They would have to build trust The Sternian 13 with the dive centre, the local community and each other to show that they were ready to handle the challenges of diving safely in the Philippines and inspire the local community to believe in their x .

Once the divers made that pledge during the team brief, they never took a step back. a lOOmetre passenger ferry that was taken in a typhoon over 25 years ago. Now teeming with a variety of marine life, it is a cleaning station for fish such as eagle rays & spade fish, which allow the smaller residents of the wreck to removal parasites from the animal's body (both externally and internally). The team's efforts to understand the Malapascuan reefs and promote the Biorock concept did not go unnoticed by our associate dive centre. They were delighted by the example the LWC students had set and sponsored the materials and transportation to install the islands' first Biorocks. With the resources required, the team set about designing two new artificial reefs that would be made from steel rebar lattice. As a pilot project, the Biorock would need to inspire the local community, yet remain low profile in order to deal Over the course of the first week, LWC divers worked with local with the rigours of the Cebuan underwater currents during the rainy divemasters to learn valuable information about the dive sites, season. secrets on how to find the country's rare macrolife such as sea horses and nudibranchs.

The reefs Unlike many other dive locations, the divers were startled by the savageness of the Visayas marine life. They documented the breeding habits of puffer fish; the alluring movements of Spanish dancers, the predatory patterns of lizard and lionfish hunting damselfish and learned how to effectively deal with the carnivorous Crown of Thorn (COT) starfish. A fast-breeding natural predator of the reef, an adult COT can eat up to 6 square metres of living coral a year.
