East Timor's youngest ever PADI Open Water Diver

Rhea's 10th Birthday present was to learn to dive. She came and signed up for the course on her birthday before joining her diver parents for a birthday tea at Castaways.



Twice a week, we would pick Rhea up from school for her scuba lessons and on the 28th of October 2008 she completed her qualifying dive. This means she became a Junior PADI Open Water diver at the age of 10 years, 2 months and 10 days. We think that this is the youngest ever certified diver in East Timor.

I'm an Emergency Responder, Can I help you?

Our local staff undertook the Emergency First response course with the help of their English Teacher Marlon, who did a wonderful job in translating.

The course covered CPR and rescue breathing, serious bleeding, choking, spinal injuries and shock, as well as First Aid. Useful skills in East Timor. Well done to them all and lets hope they will never have to use it.

Rita also had some fun when she gave Little Annie a wash. I think she became a little too attached!

International Beach Clean Up Day

Dive Timor Lorosae 'Splashed for Trash' with The Quality International School Dili and Dili International School. Starting from the Ocean View hotel, over 50 volunteers donned thier rubber gloves, grabbed thier plastic sacks and cleaned up the beach and the surrounding waters. Collecting hundreds of plastic bottles and plastic bags in thier own time, we thought we would give them a bit of a treat awarding prizes for the most unusual pieces of trash. These were a radio, a car bumper and a welding mask!

All ages and nationalites were involved including some very eager Timorese teenagers. We managed to fill 46 large bags full of rubbish before the midday sun got the better of us. All of which will be disposed of for free by Anteater, thank you.

And it wasn't just on the beach, some of our enthusiastic divers went down to clean up the reef. They brought up plastic sheeting, loads of shoes and a hat! Shoes were one of the most common thing collected today.

So thanks to everyone who took part, it was a great day and hopefully we will be able to make it an annual event. Lets make clean water in Timor Leste a reality
