Today we received this email from PADI
Announcing the Finalists & Winners of the Members Awards 2010To
better recognise the achievements of those PADI Dive Centres and
Resorts who have made significant contributions to the growth and
development of diving, PADI Asia Pacific is pleased to announce the
finalists and winners of this year’s PADI Asia Pacific Member Awards
program which recognises their efforts from 2009.
The
PADI Member Awards program was based on nine separate Asia Pacific
regions; a system that ensured PADI Members compete with other PADI
Members within their own geographical region for one of five Awards.
All PADI Dive Centres and Resorts within each of the nine regions were
considered for nomination by a specially convened selection panel, who
selected up to three finalists for each of the awards.
A panel of PADI judges then considered all of the finalists within each
region and we are very pleased to announce the following finalists and
winners of this year’s awards.
PADI congratulates all of our Members on the outstanding job you do
training divers and we wish you the best of success for the remainder
of 2010.

We had a great trip out to Koh Tang and just came back.
Nice visibility 20 to 25 mrt and we saw a big group of more then 40 Bat fish, a big school of Barracuda and Bumphead parrot fish. We had Cobia's on most dives and they are really cool to see.
We did 5 dives and the night dive was very good.
Thank you very much to our divers and we hope to see you next time.

Project AWARE Beach Clean Up
|
Monday, November 30, 2009
|
On the 20th of November we organised a beach clean up with 42 kids from Grade 6 and 10 from an International school in Cambodia. We wanted them to use what they had learned in their Project AWARE Coral Reef Conservation course which Scuba Nation had sponsored for them.
We cleaned in about an hour more them 20 mtr beach and removed 5 big bags of garbage.
The kids where amazed how much rubbish was there and promised not to trow rubbish just on the floor but in bins.
It was a great day and we had loads of fun jumping from the top deck of the boat.

Koh Tang Khmer New Year
|
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
|
On the 13th April we went to Koh Tang for our traditional Khmer New Year overnight trip.
A
big welcome back to Hiko and Takeshi our regulars who are always a
pleasure to dive with, and our own PADI Divemaster Mike. Sorry rest
of the world you can now only get "The Mike" experience with Scuba
Nation Cambodia.
We set off at 7.30 and after the boat briefing,
breakfast was served, we did our first dive at Cobia point on Koh Rong
Samloem, we dived in 4 groups off our two boats.
Our group started
the dive a little bit differently and we discovered a whole new part
at Cobia, which we had not dived before.Very nice hard and soft corals
and many Nudibranches, the vis was between 7 to 10 mtr, it was a great
dive.
After an hour we surfaced and got back on the boat and had lunch as we headed to Koh Tang.
Our
second dive was at The Steps and the vis was 15mtr. The Steps is a
great dive site and suitable for everybody from snorkeller to
experienced diver. Very nice boulder corals and lots of reef fish.
The
night dive was at Beedy Eye Bay where you will have to look for all the
weird stuff which is there. We saw big Blue spotted Sting rays, Toad
fish, many shrimps and Moray Eels.
After a good night of sleep
we did our early morning dive at Giraffe, and the vis was 25+ and two
massive Cobia,s at the start off our drift dive.
Our last dive was on Explosion reef and it is always a pleasure to see the looks on divers faces when they arrive on the reef.
Explosion
is a very big spread out reef build up with table and stack corals,
boulder corals with Christmas Tree worms with different colours and
fish every where, I had divers saying to me before that this reef is
better then the great barrier reef.
Scuba Nation would like to thank all the people who where on the trip for a great time and we will see you all back soon.
