Hi all of you out there!

White Arrow NT3 diving on Malapascua Philippines
The White Arrow NT3 Sidemount in action!
It is time for a quick update, This month has been great fun for all of us here at Exotic, here are some of the highlights!

Our good friend Jason Lim has been back to Malapascua, this time teaching Technical diving both in back mounted twin tanks and Rebreather. Of course on the White arrow NT3 which looks absolutely brilliant underwater. Jason will be back soon for some more diving and we are looking forward to some more deep deep adventures!

In house PADI Course director Rebecca Johanson is doing a great job getting Jerome and Scott ready for upcoming PADI IE in a matter pf days, we wish them all the best. Our instructor Rey is also joining in doing his IDC staff instructor course! There has been some absolutely stunning weather lately with seas flat as a mirror and they have for sure been taking full advantage of it!






Finally some even more exiting news if that is even possible, The EXOTIC SPORTS FEST! The entire exotic crew and believe me its a big crew was split in 4 teams and enjoyed 5 days of challenges, sports, games and fun. There was plenty of different sports and games with some of the highlights being basketball, volleyball, swimming and Palusebo. For all of you who don't know what Palusebo is the winner of the game is the one who can climb the highest/fastest on a bamboo pole covered in oil! Believe me when I'm saying that it is very very hard!
Below you can see a few of the pictures from the event that was a huge success! We cant wait until next years sports fest!
