Local Timorese learning to Dive

Getting Timor Leste locals in the water to dive

We are here in Timor Leste;

As both a company and as individual divers we feel it is so important to support the local community here in Timor; where we are. That goes beyond just employing locals and spending money locally. We want them to understand why we’re here. More importantly why we decided to set up shop here. The best way to do that is to get local Timorese in the water whether swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving!

Ami Agora iha Timor Leste

Hanesan kompania no individual luku nian ami senti importante tebes atu suporta Timor oan sira iha Timor Leste. Entoun ami hakarak suporta Timor oan sira barak liu, loas suporta deit ho osan. Importante liu tamba saida mak ami decide loke servisu iha nee, dalan neebe mak los maka halo Timor oan sira bele tam aba bee nani, snorkeling ho luku tasi.

What Timor Leste has to offer; See Gallery

Dili, the capital city of Timor Leste is on the coast and the reef is right there. Only 2-3 metres offshore. It’s spectacular in the shallows making it a prefect area for snorkeling. So much pristine reef. So many wonderful colours and fish. Once locals have a mask and a snorkel all they need is to get to the beach. Many already spend their Sundays there anyway. Unfortunately, many have no idea what is down there. They might not swim or they simply don’t have equipment. We’d like to change that.

Saida mak Timor Leste atu fo

Dili, sidade neebe mak iha Timor leste besik tasi ibun no mos ahu ruin besik loos. Ita bele tama iha bee laran metro 2-3 no bele hetan ona ahu ruin.

How to change things for the people here?

Every month we will be sponsoring Timorese to learn about the underwater world. It might be teaching them to swim. Maybe to snorkel or scuba dive. Or provide equipment to someone. This will begin with dive centre staff and ideally expand. This month (March) as it is our first, we are getting Melky back into diving. Melky is also practicing skills he will need for his Dive Master course. In addition, we will be doing try dives with 3 other locals from Dili, Timor Leste. People who are always helping divers and dive staff.

Melky is currently on his way to becoming the first Timoroese SDI dive master; to follow his progress or keep updated with other Dreamers Dive Academy Timor activites check our blogs, facebook or instagram (dreamersdiveacademy).
