MARES Spa Italy, the world's leading brand of state-of-the-art diving equipment, and HEAD, the world's leading racquet sports brand endorsed by top-ranked tennis players Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova, recently acquired Scuba Schools International (SSI), the world’s second-largest scuba diving organization and the name to trust in the diving world which has provided training, scuba diving certification, and educational resources for divers, dive instructors, dive centers and resorts around the world.
When it comes to depth and quality of training materials, dive centers around the world turn to SSI, which started out in 1970 among a small group of divers with the passion to make anyone learn how to dive, and is now represented in more than 110 countries globally.
MARES Spa Italy made its biggest splash for the year with the inaugural launch of its headquarters, flagship store and scuba diving academy in the Philippines.
Raising its global profile from its home base in Italy to the Asian region, the launch is anchored on the joint venture between MARES Spa Italy and Dynamic Sports Corp., a leading wholesaler and retailer of sports equipment in the Philippines such as HEAD, and parent company of MARES.
Scuba Academy Manila will feature a beach-like setting that will serve scuba diving enthusiasts in the Philippines perfectly well, with the hope of helping inspire and share their excitement about this popular form of underwater diving
Prepare to explore the awe-inspiring beauty of our country’s underwater landscape as Scuba Academy Manila opens its doors to scuba divers—and those who want to become one. It is poised to become the number one hub for scuba divers who will truly luxuriate in its most modern indoor scuba facility and scuba training center.
For this important milestone, MARES Philippines General Manager Dieter Heinz lead guests during the grand launch. Other guests include the President of MARES/SSI Gerald Skrobanek, Department of Tourism Secretary Ramon Jimenez, and MARES Philippines co-owner Christopher Tang, among others.
Through the years, the training pool in San Antonio Village is the polestar for divers in Metro Manila until it underwent major renovations. Now the training pool will be brought back to its old glory with the remarkable restoration. Everyone will truly enjoy the beach-like ambiance by the pool that can host up to 20 divers at the same time. Then unwind and share special moments with your loved ones and friends at the nearby Divers Café.
