New Look

Dive Timor Lorosae has had a bit of a revamp, creating a lot more space for those parties!



So come and see for yourself tonight at the DTL Dive Club, 7 p.m. onwards.

What is a Divemaster?



A Divemaster is a role model, a fun person with impecible rescue skills, great theoretical knowledge and a total proffessional. In addition, a Divemaster must be able to pass the snorkel test!











While standing in the water fountain!



What is in this?










Done!


Getting Prepared


Down the hatch!









Thank God that's over!











All the girls love a Divemaster




And later that evening.........

Congratulations to JB and Raimundo, it was a tough course, but a lot of fun.

What a find!!

I've spent many hundreds of dives on Dili Rock and many years diving in East Timor, but have never seen this.
