| Trip Report - Anilao |

+======================+====================

Anilao is a small village which is located 2 and a half hours away from Manila, Philippines. There are no crowded streets or shopping malls, or overcrowded with tourism, but it's regarded as the birthplace of Scuba diving in the Philippines. Every weekend, thousands of divers from Manila and neighboring city's come to this small village to enjoy Scuba diving.

So far 2 groups of have visited Anilao during February where we have some photos for your viewing pleasure.

Anilao offers everything for all levels of divers, if you're looking for an inexpensive get-a-way, this should be first on your list.

Have a look at http://big-blue.cn/en/photos-00000026.html for writeup and photos.

| Trip Report - Ancient City, Qiandao Lake |

+======================+====================

It was raining and freezing last week, but it didn't stop us driving down to Qiandao Lake to explore the ancient city. In the trip, we found the 'Pai Fang' again which we saw once last April. We've got a new video for the Ancient City, please visit the URL below to get more details of this Chinese ancient city which has a 1800 year history.

| SCUBAPRO Technician course |

+======================+====================

A regulator is one of our primary pieces of equipment that we put our trust into every day, we expect it to perform flawlessly. Servicing should be done every 100 dives or every 1 year, whichever is earlier.

It's strongly recommended to service them at minimum every year as parts can wear out or corrode by being stored or by general wear.

Big Blue will host a SCUBAPRO technician course at the end of April or the beginning of May. In the course, you'll be taught how to service a standard first stage and second stage like MK2plus, R190, R295 or R395. An over-balanced first stage and second stage like MK25, S600, X650 and a diaphragm first stage like MK17, MK11.

This course takes 2.5 - 3 days and you'll gain a SCUBAPRO Technician certification when you finished the course, once certified you'll be able to service SCUBAPRO Regulators.

The course fee is 2400rmb, please send an email back to info@big-blue.cn to let us know if you are interested in attending.
