If you've been following the Olympic events, you're likely familiar with the sport of 10-meter platform diving. Standing on a 10-meter platform and looking down at the pool, most people still need a great deal of courage to take the leap. But there are some who not only shine on the 10-meter platform, but also have the bravery to take on an even greater challenge: cliff diving. While cliff diving and platform diving share similarities, cliff divers jump from heights ranging from 18 to 27 meters, more than double the height of the platform. This significant difference in height impacts diving techniques and safety in various ways. Diving from such heights carries inherent risks and dangers. Even diving from a platform (30 feet above ground) can result in injuries like bruises, fractured...

In our previous conversation, we talked about the rich marine ecosystem on Bohol. When diving there, you have a chance to witness incredible barracuda storms, jackfish storms, small sharks, and sea turtles. But there's more to explore than just these magnificent creatures. Divers can also visit dive sites where they can explore sunken ships and the remnants of underwater airplanes. Exploring different dive sites offers divers a variety of diving experiences with different underwater terrains. In the quest to find marine life, it requires not only keen observation skills but also a bit of luck. As they say, "Finding big things is easier, but finding smaller creatures is more challenging." One of the favorites among divers is the adorable "sea bunny," also known as a sea slug. Divers ...

On the first day after our arrival, we completed a check dive and officially began our daily underwater adventure with three dives. Bohol offers mostly wall dives and slope dives, with calm water currents, high visibility, and a consistent water temperature of 26 to 29 degrees Celsius throughout the year. The dive sites are surrounded by coral reefs, with the diving activities starting at the reefs and then descending along the cliffs for a wall dive. It's an ideal location for beginners to learn and for experienced divers to upgrade their skills and gain more experience. Every morning, around 9 am, we would take a shuttle from the hotel to Alona Beach, where we would board a boat to explore the various islands near Bohol. Here are some of the dive sites we visited on this trip. ...

Recently, the temperature in Hong Kong has dropped, and the diving season in Hong Kong is fast approaching. Many diving instructors in Hong Kong are organizing their own diving trips to various places around the world. The Philippines is a popular destination for winter diving. After visiting Puerto Galera in April, I visited another diving paradise in the Philippines, Bohol, in October. Even my non-diving friends asked me why everyone loves diving in the Philippines. Aren't they afraid of danger or poor equipment? In addition to sharing the itinerary of the first day of diving in the Philippines, this article will also explain the charm of diving in the Philippines and why everyone praises the five-star service provided by local diving operators. We took Philippine Airlines...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AUttmgoSvM Following the previous assignment of dispatching BBOLD representatives to learn about stand-up paddle boarding, the BBOLD representatives are now facing a new challenge: snowboard skiing! As winter approaches, many people plan to travel abroad to destinations such as Niseko and Hakuba in Japan, or ski resorts in Korea, Europe, and America. However, skiing is a sport that requires a high level of skill and can be quite dangerous, so it is advisable to receive professional training before attempting it. Lack of basic training can result in accidents and injuries while attempting to ski during a trip. Since most trips only have a few days for practice, it is often insufficient time to develop the necessary skills. So, how can we practice sk...

I understand that life has various facets, so I've chosen not to be a full-time stay-at-home mom.I also want to enrich other areas of my life. For this interview, we met at Stanley Main Beach in Hong Kong. The beach was a bit messy after a Typhoon No. 10. Hayley rushed over in flip-flops, apologizing, “Sorry I’m late. My kid bumped his head right before I was about to leave, and threw a little tantrum about me going out.” Taking care of a child under one year of age means every outing is a challenge. Throughout the conversation, Hayley, a new mom, often talks about her son. Even the reason behind her dreams and ambitions is to set a good example for him. Hayley wears many hats : she’s a mom, a university student, an amateur wingfoil surfer, a member of the Hong Kong Sports ...

Athletes have the ability to establish their own brands, and it is often perceived by the general public as a step towards commercialization and investment. However, the creation of American track and field athlete Allyson Felix's personal brand, Saysh, was actually born out of a tragic personal experience. Ever since winning the silver medal in the 200-meter race at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Allyson has gone on to achieve an impressive record of 7 gold, 3 silver, and 1 bronze medal in women's track and field events at subsequent Olympics. Despite her remarkable accomplishments, many believed that her career as a professional athlete would be smooth sailing.  However, in 2019, when Allyson became pregnant, her sponsor Nike significantly reduced her endorsement fees, offerin...

The Hangzhou Asian Games are currently underway, and the excellent performances of Hong Kong athletes have generated a lot of excitement. Let's continue to cheer for the athletes who are preparing to compete! The athletics events will begin on September 29th, with racewalking as the first event, followed by short sprints, relays, and other events that require teamwork and explosive power.
