Giant Pregnant Pufferfish !


Today Svenya completed her Open water dive 4 a Crocodile Rock! We wanted to see the best soft coral in boracay and we did. The water was 27C degrees much warmer now and the vis about 15 meters! What a great day to be diving in Boracay! I have to say when Svenya did one of the most impressive mask removal and replacements I have ever seen, she had her mask of for about 2 minuets, because it got tangled in her hair! But she kept her cool and remained calm and cleared it no problem! Good work Svenya! A Giant pregnant puffer cruised by, it had to be a foot and a half long. We also saw pipefish and some large grouper! Total dive time 53 minuets , another great dive in paradise.-Dustin

Rescue Class


Another Rescue class is in the works here at Bluemango !
Today, Jay took his divers out to Angol to do the Paniced diver under water and unconcious diver underwater. I brought the video camera along to document the training. After the dive we reviewed the footage and made suggestions as to how the Rescues could have been better. Over all they did great job Simon and Erick!!
