This was about 3 years ago - we really had a good thing!!! What happened- it all tends to work out, sometimes ya just want to help … but the help is not wanted. (Enjoyed yes, Used yes) but at the end of the day they painted over everything and knocked everything down because the owner of the property was greedy… this is what greed dose.

Back in the day, Dauin Student Development for Dauin Dive Guides.
Really its ok that it did not work out for me I guess as I am here and they are there.... really it was because I could not run the place and be in charge and most were underage so the NGO that needed to be created in order for the ACT to go into power.
Not my Choice : "Up To You"
We were asked to leave Dauin as our group was loud and wanted to dive around the clock ... SO we moved kindly ... and it was the best time of our life I think ... Or at least I hope it was for some of them!!!
John Baga John Daniel Omar Zander Oliver Buenavista Jr. Oliver Tubog Buenavista Sr.and all the others who started and of course PEDRO ... anyways miss ya all and love ya!!!
I hope that things will be looking up soon for us all and mother earth will give us a break (But we must do the same for her if she will for us)

So all Videos are up and they are in HD 4k 1080p
These are my Solo Dives Before I started into wanting to do something about teaching Local Youth How To Dive, I did this because when I asked the "Kids" why are you not Diving?
I found Places like https://www.facebook.com/seaexplorersph/ and all the others ... I call this place out as they gave me the worst hassle on all of it .. ( Just so I am CLEAR I only put his resort up because HE is the only one that was NAMED OUT - When I moved to Zambo - The OWNER said the ZAMBO tax man of Pura Vita says your running a Business and Stealing his customers ... so he feels it is only fair I get a BUSINESS Licence for what I clearly and continually CONVINCED the town of DAUIN and The City of Zamboanguita, Negros Oiental, that I was Inviting People for FREE, Teaching Locals For FREE - and in this case HOW AM I A BUSINESS??? Nevertheless the man was JEALOUS he had all of like 2 people at his hotel at the time and I had 65 - Ya know what FU**ER when the cost is FREE not 25k pesos a night ... YES YOU STUPID AS***LE I will have plenty of people ... This set in the GREED of the Filipino Government because until then my operation was only serving to help the local town of Cab-Cab - In Fact that is where the NAME came From THADs Place - *it was listed under Sanctuary Teaching and Learning Center on GOOGLE!!! ( Bonawon-Zamboanguita Coastal Hwy, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental, Philippines -
google.com/maps/place/Sanctuary+Teaching+And+Learning+Center/@9.0825878,120.9277817,7z/data=!4m9!1m2!2m1!1sSanctuary+Teaching+and+Learning+Center+Zambonguita+National+Freeway,+Philippines!3m5!1s0x33ab5a1d58f41533:0x32d2296b13b8e555!8m2!3d9.0825878!4d123.1689926!15sClBTYW5jdHVhcnkgVGVhY2hpbmcgYW5kIExlYXJuaW5nIENlbnRlciBaYW1ib25ndWl0YSBOYXRpb25hbCBGcmVld2F5LCBQaGlsaXBwaW5lc5IBEHNjdWJhX2luc3RydWN0b3I
Sometimes I just have to call these things out ... THE GREED of this MAN ... I would go to his place and BUY all his USED CRAP ... that was CRAP that should not have been sold yet he sells it ... This man in my opinion is an AS***LE and just wait till I get around to making my REVIEWS on tripadvisor and Google ...
I ever seen out of this man was him slapping the Asses of his wait staff like he was a BIG MAN, Seen a MALE CHAUVINISTIC PIG, That was Jealous of other suggests ... and the only thinks I think the man was Jealous of me was the fact that I was STEALING his Future SLAVE EMPLOYEES ... and in that way YES Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental and DAUIN YES I was trying to give any "LOCAL" a chance not to CONTRACTED into an employee you "STUPID MOTHER FU**ER" whos pockets are too deep to pay his employees a reasonable wage.
So if anyone ever asked it is Pura Vita and its owner that made me start everything I did there - and his BS is why we had so many problems ... and I was not even going for any of his people as if anyone came from any of the RESORTS in DAUIN I would SEND them Back (EXCEPT on once case Atlantis and Pura Vita FAILED on Caring for a CHILD a 12 year old diver who would get ignored by the divemasters of both resorts - ME - KIDS are First and PRIORITY if they want the dive to be over in 20 mins and it Pi**es everyone off then SO F**KEN BE IT ... Kid set the dive NOT MONEY - Stupid Fu***rs ... so yeah ONE CHILD I TOOK and his Future CONTRACTED LABOR.
This string of VIDEOS is what I was doing Until I found out these KIDS had to work for years just to get into the water ... they were TREATED LIKE S**T ... every time I went to https://www.facebook.com/puravidabeachresort/ I would bring my kids and had to pay a FEE for them to even enter the property .. because they do not like LOCALS there ... and one time a Guest paid for some of my kids and they still kicked them out .... all I can say is this place SUCKS and HIS DIVE SHOP is Built off the BACK OF THE FILIPINO ... My opinion ... and he started so I do not feel bad now saying anything ... YOUR AN AS***LE MOTHER FU**ER YOU ARE ....
Anyways if there was not trouble in DAUIN, I felt like locals were being taken advantage - I wanted to help to the DAUIN CRM I asked ... there response is "We Never Asked For Your Help"
The Fishermen's accusation : Them AS***LES - They Threatened so many times that they would take my SCUBA gear if I did not listen to them as per them "WE OWN DIVING IN DAUIN" ... Do they ... look like bunch of "Fat" fu***rs Sealing from the Sanctuary when they could (Witnessed it with my own eyes) - Hell it was some of them that would SELL Me USED tickets to RE-USE - YEAH GREEED .. I can tell you all about it ... SOmeone should open a case ... but there are few HONORABLE people who would and could do anything about it ... as the people of DAUIN SUFFER they take what they like!!!! - (Lived right there watched it all denied it all you wish ... Seen it with my TWO eyes and I recorded a lot of it ... just not so sure how much I want to fight ... I want to keep my channels Positive ... but (I FEEL LIKE I CAN NOT MOVE ON ) - I feel trapped here with all I was put through there ... PAYING OUT OF POCKET as the GOVERNMENT and local Businesses FU**ED me over ... so F**K THEM I would like to say with the DEEPEST RESPECT!!!!
