Subic Bay 6th October – The Miss Scuba Philippines pageant aims to put everyone’s focus back into the ocean. Miss Scuba Philippines is part of the Miss Scuba International series of pageants, which were first held in 2011. First event: scuba diving lessons at the Lighthouse Marina Resort, Subic Bay.
Unlike most beauty pageants that simply celebrate the inner beauty and courage of today’s modern women, Miss Scuba Philippines will follow the Miss Scuba International philosophy of focusing the participants and the associated media coverage on local and global ocean conservation campaigns.
Miss Scuba is all about advocating worldwide marine conservation through sustainable activities, starting with scuba diving; the top national champions will go on to compete for Miss Scuba International. The winning delegate of the Miss Scuba International competition will undertake a year of ocean conservation campaigns to educate and inspire the desire in all of us to do our best to safeguard our oceans. The pageant will also offer her a unique and comprehensive platform to launch her career and personal development.
Miss Scuba Philippines will hold its first scuba diving event in Subic Bay at the Lighthouse Marina Resort on 8th October. The participants will be offered advanced scuba training in the resort’s swimming pool under the direction of the Boardwalk Dive Center.
More activities will follow up until 27th October, when participants will return to the Lighthouse Marina Resort for the coronation of Miss Scuba Philippines. The Miss Scuba Philippines coronation will also aline with the launching of the "Save Capones Island Campaign" on the beachfront at the Lighthouse Marina Resort. The winner of Miss Scuba Philippines will travel to Bali, Indonesia, for the Miss Scuba International finals on 30th November.
The criteria for winning the Miss Scuba 2012 crown are: individual talent, diving skills, scuba tourism knowledge, marine conservation knowledge, communications, work ethics, participation and catwalk adeptness.
Miss Scuba promotes safe diving practices through worldwide professional training organizations, elevating its important international tourism and cultural appreciation. As people travel to far off destinations to dive, they also learn to appreciate the cultural diversity that makes our world such an interesting tapestry.
It is hoped that the Promotion of Miss Scuba International will garner support from those who are determined to see our Ocean and thus our Earth survive and prosper for many more generations to come.
