New Wave Divers: Instructors

Choosing a dive instructor is as important as choosing a dive center. Experienced scuba divers agree: Look for someone you can trust. The dive instructors of NEW WAVE DIVERS have years of experience and are very familiar with Boracay’s dive sites.

	DEBBIE Debbie Ngo is a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Aside from the basic range of PADI programs and courses, she is also qualified to teach Deep Diver, Enriched Air Nitrox, Wreck Diver, Search and Recovery, and Underwater Navigator Specialty Courses. She started diving in 1996 when she moved to Boracay Island from her native Manila. Debbie is the President of the Boracay Association of Scuba Diving Schools (BASS). She is also the editor of Blue News– the official BASS Newsletter. Aside from diving, her favorite activities are going to yoga, eating and sleeping—in that order!
	NOEL Noel Jimenez was the Operations Manager of Lorenzo Resorts for 14 years before he became a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor in the year 2000. Nowadays, he tinkers with his digital camera and shoots divers—shoots videos of divers, that is. Noel is a true lover of nature. He likes to watch the Boracay sunrise surrounded by his three goats, 100 chickens, two ducks and three dogs in his mini farm. He is always praying for a little rain for his garden. At one time, he became known for growing gigantic bananas.
	BOY Rogelio Lopez Jr., or “Boy” as he prefers to be called, is a PADI Divemaster. He is one who truly worked his way up the ranks– starting as a boat captain and a scuba equipment repairman before becoming a dive professional. Recently, he was interviewed by a television crew for an environmental program. This could be the start of his new career– show business.
	JON Jon-Jon Suarez has been diving for as long as anyone can remember. Coming from a family of dive professionals, he started teaching in 1994. Now a PADI Master Instructor, he has certified over 900 divers, including Debbie and Noel before they became instructors themselves. Jon-Jon plays a mean game of poker, as well as the Filipino card game “tong-its”. He is notorious for eating like a starving horse, but never gaining any weight.
	JECO Before we met Jeco Suarez, we didn’t think that there would be anyone who could eat more than Jon-jon. But it seems like some things run in the family. Yes, they are brothers! Many people have mistakenly thought that they are one and the same person.. Besides working as a Divemaster, Jeco is also a dragonboat rower, skimboarder, henna tattooist, dive site map artist, fashion model and all-around active person.
