Congratulations to the Eco-Divers who completed the course last February 6, 2011! The course was conducted over a 2-week period. It consisted of 4 classroom sessions (held after office hours), 1 pool session in Metro Manila, and then culminated by 2 days of field work in Anilao, Batangas.

The photo shows the Eco-Divers displaying the hand signals used underwater by Reef Check for identifying the substrate. It turns out that the hand signals are good for photo ops too!
