Organizing the event is also their way of helping the local diving industry and the different coastal towns in the island province to “bounce back” from the ill effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. “That is why we are here. PADO has volunteered to help them and we are all very eager to extend our help to these LGUs in some way or another because all in all, it will also redown to economic benefits for all of us,” he said.

The Jeffrey shipwreck that was found off the coasts of Jagna town was also found to be “full of marine life.” When in the area, you will get to see sea snakes, octopuses, turtles, sharks, clouds of fish, and spectacular black corals. Photos that will be produced from the contest are expected to help bring divers to these new dive sites and even non-divers who just wanted to explore the island and enjoy its natural wonders.“[This is the] first time in the history of PH where [in] an underwater competition is [being] held in a manner that the entire island has been covered that is why we call it the loop,” Arcay said.

During the assessment, they also determined if a particular area was a good place for snorkeling, free diving or even scuba diving for beginners. Carrying capacity refers to the number of authorized scuba divers in every quadrant or coral reef per day.
