What I could contribute to NAUI is the management skills I’ve obtained in many years of studies and on-the-job experience in tourism. Diving being the eminent market segment in the tourism industry, NAUI needs to focus its presence in the scene of new dive destinations. With the availability and efficient dissemination of its excellent training programs and educational materials, NAUI must continue to strive to be the dive agency of the people, regardless of locality or linguistic background.

We need to move NAUI up in tandem with technological development. In this age, almost everyone has a mobile phone; in fact, plenty of instructors are using the laptop to give power-point presentations. We must move forward to embrace current technology. Technology is not staid; it keeps improving. So, embracing and keeping abreast of technology is good and we must make full use of it.

Recruiting young and vibrant people is important. We have to ensure our core within the Association is populated by people whose youth and ease of adaptability, combined with skills and intelligence, can serve and benefit its members.

I will continue to expend the same energy to ascertain that as new markets and dive destinations are opened in the emerging economies and countries of the Pacific Rim region, NAUI will be ready to meet the requirements arising thereof.
