HELI-DIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES

It is without a doubt... the most adrenalin rush scuba diving activity to last several lifetimes and it's finally here in the Philippines solely provided to you by Airgurus Ltd. Co.... the sole provider of professional aero-medical evacuation in the country!

Heli diving... The feeling is incredible... the atmosphere is hyped by other enthusiastic, courageous and definitely not insane heli-divers. Imagine the rotor blades are just within arms reach away when balancing on the chopper skids as you are in your full scuba gear hovering meters above the ocean when you receive the tapping countdown 3, 2, 1 and JUMP!!!

Emerging from the huge plunge... being greeted by the other excited, scared, drooling future jumpers at the drop zone is a sensation totally out of this world! 

It wasn't long ago that I blogged about introducing heli-diving in the Philippines as a fun adventure sport. My childhood best friend, Capt. Harry Lero (Airgurus' Chief Pilot) and I are the creators or founders of Heli Diving in the Philippines. With perseverance and passion, it has now become a reality and a new adventure sport to be enjoyed. This, I must say to put all records straight from now. We did our little sports and adventures together as kids and now, as grown-ups, we are introducing our new passion... an adventure sport in the country with Heli Diving or Helicopter Diving.

Our company, Airgurus Ltd. Co. is now ready with a formidable team that will be difficult for any business competitor to duplicate.  Read on why I confidently say that...

Coordination, professionalism and communication is the key for a precise, safe and exhilarating heli-dive / heli-jump of our new enthusiasts. From Airgurus' Captain Harry Lero (the Heli-Dive Master of the Skies) to the Airgurus Heli-Dive Activity Coordinator (moi, while documenting the entire thing), to our Heli-Dive Consultant (James Omac of James Omac Scuba Academy), to hand signals to two dive instructors, to 3 first aid responders on the speedboat, to our co-developer and Airgurus' Official Heli-Dive Photography Master (Vincent Garrucho), to his other shooters and to ground ambulance crew on standby, etc., communication is passed on via our hand held radios. There is absolutely no room now for a copy-cat in the Philippines nor for enthusiasts to think of chartering helicopters for the same activity from other companies or fly-by-night operators because with Airgurus Ltd. Co, it's all about professional logistics and safety. 

The buzz from the helicopter ride to jumping out of a helicopter after you've just zoomed your way towards the spot, is unreal. Running on pure adrenaline, you'd be wishing it would last forever!

ON HAPPINESS IN SAVING LIVES!

In the pursuit of contentment, choosing the right career has always been my priority... Marketing. However, I made bad calls on a few companies I worked for and even made bad calls for business investments. I worked at a few companies with eight-to-ten-hour jobs that were very monotonous and tiring. I completed my work like a machine. At some of these companies and business ventures, I was one of those people who weren't allowed explore their real interests thus; I had a series of tendencies to get lost in a lifetime of dissatisfaction and unhappiness.

Now, believe I did choose the right career and I found myself in a great company, Airgurus Ltd. Co., the leading helicopter / aircraft charter and air ambulance provider in the Philippines! Why do I say great? This snapshot of a Facebook post below is one of the reasons why:

Marco L. Santos is the Operations Manager Cruise Director at Worldwide Dive and Sail

Marco L. Santos thanked us at Airgurus for the medical evacuation of diver, Victoria Sant from Kalibo, Philippines last January 2011. Victoria had a heart attack after a dive, requiring her for an immediate medical evacuation via one of Airgurus' medically-souped up helicopters upon getting stabilized on board the Philippine Siren. The dive crew brought her to Libertad, Antique and then on to Kalibo for pick-up by Airgurus' chopper. Marco called Capt. Harry Harvey Lero immediately to find a way to extract his guest diver, Victoria Sant fast after her accident. Victoria Sant made it to Makati Medical Center and eventually went home to her country with a new lease in life.

This makes me feel so good about what I'm doing now.  Knowing about good results of majority of our medical evacuations and getting compliments... make me feel so proud that I am part of Airgurus Ltd. Co. 

I call myself The Architect in the company... unraveling the dream within this dream- come-true project... the key person who constructs the dream and web world inside the mind of the Dreamer.

Contracted by Capt. Lero for a specific job position: to manufacture a world of dreams...making it visible and known everywhere and making it a reality. I am propelled by my intellectual curiosity which made me unable to pull myself away from such a unique opportunity of saving lives in the Philippines. The naturally curious and creative person in the great  team, my totem is the acacia tree in front of Airgurus hangar. :P

Little did I know that seeing my childhood best friend, Capt. Harry Harvey Lero, (President and Chief Pilot of Airgurus Ltd. Co. and now also my business partner in Cyberbees Ltd. Co.) after almost 3 decades, would pave way for me to enjoy the best marketing career I've ever had in 12 years. 

Next to his father, Capt. Harry Lero is the best highly-skilled pilot in the Philippines... the absolute best in the art of life extraction by air even when the weather is at its' most vulnerable.

The Extractor is the one who extracts people from life threatening situations... delivering them through their golden hours to a second chance in life. He is the Master Planner... the Dreamer... the dreamer of saving lives.

Capt. Lero and I studied nursing but neither of us ended up being one. He became a pilot just like his childhood dream and I got myself into Marketing fulfilling my dream of being a writer. Now, we're both in pursuit of our real and bigger ambitions... involved in a company of saving human lives! 

With Airgurus Ltd. Co., my world became bigger and better.... primarily enriched by saving lives!

Thank you, HH... for sharing your dreams with me. I'm xtremely proud and grateful that our paths crossed again! :-)

DAY-TRIP DIVING IN APO REEF, PHILIPPINES

Airgurus Ltd. Co., the leading Helicopter and Aircraft Charter and Air Ambulance company in the Philippines is offering diving enthusiasts one (1) day diving trips to Apo Reef, Mindoro with one of the countries' best dive masters as your guide to the world's second largest contiguous coral reef in the world and the largest one in the Philippines. 

Apo Reef is one of the best and most famous diving site in the Philippines and one of the most popular coral reefs in the world.  It is located 28 kilometers off the western coast of Mindoro Island, and it is 34 kilometers long... divided into two lagoon systems... north and south. It is a blissful experience for divers as it has spectacular drop offs and walls in best visibility. 

 
The shallow lagoon with a depth of 2 - 10 meters is surrounded by mangrove forest which serves as source of food, nursery and spawning ground for coastal and marine species of fauna and birds. Apo Reef's corals are so diverse... approximately 34 sq. kilometers of the reef nurtures magnificent species of invertebrates, marine mammals and fish. Apo Reef is every photographer's dream. 

A protected sanctuary and a declared National Park since 1996, Apo Reef is a unique natural phenomenon with its' exotic and enchanting marine life species!

Since Apo Reef is difficult to access and to spare local and foreign divers from spending too much time traveling, Airgurus Ltd. Co. is now offering day trips via helicopters with options of course for divers to extend their stay in the island.

The dive spots around Apo Reef like the Ego Wall, Alladin and Hunter's Rock offers tremendous coral drops with excellent overhangs where schools of turtles, white-tip reef sharks, snappers, gray sharks, great barracudas and so many more are common.  Visibility is often excellent in Apo Reef due to its' location which is very far out in the South China Sea.
