Boat Captain
Efren
The older brother of Retto, Alona Divers’ boat builder, Efren is an experienced, yet very humble Boat Captain. He is a “relaxed” but competent and soft-spoken person.
PADI Dive Master
Manny
Always gives “Joy and Laughter” in the dive shop. Manny is also a “joker”, but loves to start early morning and is first of all, a very responsible Divemaster. He loves to take photos of the dive with his GoPro, which he always carries. .
Dive Master
Lutoy
Often called Jack Sparrow, Lutoy has been working as a Divemaster since 1992 and is an excellent macro spotter. He is also a “clown”, always cracking jokes with his “Carabao English” humor, which always gives everyone a great laugh.
Divemaster, Diveboat Crew, SpeedBoat Operator
PJ
An “all-around crew” with a good attitude and in full support of the Team, PJ was recently confirmed as a Padi Divemaster. He is also a good cook, with the skill of preparing nice fruits and food presentations onboard.
Dive Master
Jun Jun
He is Alona Divers’ “Main Guy”. He was trained by the late Peter Buermann and a very good macro spotter, regulator technician, compressor-man and speedboat operator. Always smiling, Jun-Jun is very humble and friendly. He is often requested by returning guests.
