Being a dive professional is not always easy. They go through many things that are literally \u201cbelow the surface\u201d and unseen.<\/p>\n
When Asia Dive Academy (ADA) first had the idea that dive professionals should be celebrated and honoured, they started with their partner shops and booked out a small restaurant along Arab Street. There was no formal ceremony or real tokens of appreciation, but ADA realised that a mere certificate and recognition of the passion, blood, sweat and tears dive professionals put in with each and every diver is enough to affirm their sense of purpose.<\/p>\n
