22nd - 23rd March 2010
Mataking staffs were given opportunity to be trained as professional PADI snorkeling guide training by our very own The Reef Dive Center manager cum PADI instructor, Stanio Simbi during the 2 days course conducted in Mataking Island. The purpose of this training is to assess and enhance the quality of snorkeling guide in accordance to the 5 star PADI dive center reputation that we have.
Throughout the 2 days course, there are a total of 23 participants attending. Stanio or known as Neo, start the theory class on before snorkeling briefing (including mask, snorkel and life jacket function and adjustment & snorkel site briefing), emergency procedure (including treating injuries and breathing related emergency ie use of oxygen tank) and all the participants have to demonstrate once for the instructor to give mark. A simple talk on eco-snorkeling by Lia, marine biologist for Mataking also conducted to ensure that all our snorkel guide are eco-minded while bringing people for snorkeling.
