BEIJING–at the heart of the exhibit hall of the 2007 China Dive exhibition is a luminous underwater photo mural that never fails to captivate visitors.
The mural is an image-based invitation to take a plunge in the Philippine seas. And judging by the queue at the booth that leads to the exhibition, indications are that the mural is doing its job as far as drawing the curiosity of foreign divers.
“Diving is a recreational sport; you need physical fitness to support your safety,” said Filipino-Chinese dive master Ding Bang Ho.
