PHUKET, THAILAND, June 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Puerto Galera makes for a stunning backdrop to a training course like the PADI workshop, but also ensures that there is high demand for places on the course. The location also means that there will be higher than average demand for a Puerto Galera hotel, leading Internet-based hotel room comparison website DirectRooms.com to advise early, online booking.
PADI qualification is the scuba diving industry's most popular qualification, allowing successful divers the status of being able to go diving in any location around the world. The July training course will be held in the waters off the coast of Puerto Galera, making the resort's hotels situated close to the beach the most popular with visiting divers.
The Philippines attract thousands of scuba divers every year thanks to the islands' clear waters and many coral reefs around which to go diving on day trips and boatstay holidays.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, says: "Puerto Galera is one of those best-kept secret resorts which people find out about and then return to on a regular basis because they love it so much! It is an ideal destination to take one's PADI diving qualification and to help find the best hotel deals in town around that week in July we do recommend comparison of deals online and advance booking."

Expertise provides buffer against bias in making judgments
2011-06-07
Roanoke, Va. -- Gratuities, gifts, sponsorship, product price, free samples, favors all can influence judgment and decision-making. If a person is influenced in their choice of cereal, the result is a bit of income for a manufacturer. But a lot of people can be impacted if a politician is influenced by support from a special interest; or the health of a handful of patients can be affected if a physician is influenced by gifts from drug reps.
Scientists with the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute have demonstrated through behavioral research and brain scans using ...
Scotland's Lesley Paterson Wins New Hampshire Mooseman Ironman 70.3
2011-06-07
Scotland's Lesley Paterson, who won the inaugural Xterra off-road triathlon Pacific Championships in Santa Cruz in Northern California just two weeks ago, followed that up with her first ever Ironman victory at the 2011 Mooseman Ironman 70.3 in New Hampshire.
Paterson finished in the time of 4 hours 30 minutes 58 seconds, 48 seconds in front of the second place Caitlin Snow. Having been injured and ill with a stomach parasite off and on for most of the past year, an injury free Paterson was finally able to put it all together for the victory, posting an even 27 minute ...
Supplement found to improve quality of life for female cancer survivors
2011-06-07
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – June 6, 2011 – A natural nutritional supplement, marketed for the last decade as a sexual aid, has been shown to significantly improve overall quality of life for female cancer survivors, according to researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
The findings will be presented today at the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago.
Interested in quality of life issues for female cancer survivors, Kathryn M. Greven, M.D., a radiation oncologist at Wake Forest Baptist, first learned of the supplement, called ...
Hawaii's "Don't Drink Yourself Fat" Campaign
2011-06-07
It may have started this way: one passerine flying high above a plant-free, uninhabited and unnamed island - in the Pacific, north of the equator - unknowingly drops one seed from a mud-encrusted thigh.
That seed and many others brought to the islands by other birds, animals, people and the wind now feeds the island's residents and visitors. That island is presently called Hawaii.
Ancient Hawaiians were innovative farmers and skilled fisherman whose customs of sharing food amongst their communities lives on today as residents of present-day Hawaii struggle to return ...
Study finds high levels of vitamin D needed for bone density drugs to work
2011-06-07
To fully optimize a drug therapy for osteoporosis and low bone mineral density (BMD), patients should maintain vitamin D levels above the limits recently recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), according to a new study by researchers from Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. The study will be presented at the Endocrine Society's Annual Meeting in Boston, June 4-7.
The study demonstrated that maintaining a circulating vitamin D level above 33 ng/ml is associated with a seven-fold greater likelihood of having a more favorable outcome with bisphosphonate therapy. ...
Not just skin and bones: Wrinkles could predict women's bone fracture risk
2011-06-07
Wrinkles are a telltale sign of aging, and they might also be able to predict a woman's bone fracture risk, according to Yale School of Medicine researchers who report in a new study that the severity and distribution of skin wrinkles and overall skin quality could tell the story of bone mineral density in early menopausal women.
The findings will be presented June 6 at the Endocrine Society Meeting in Boston, Mass., by Lubna Pal, associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Science at Yale School of Medicine.
"Skin and bones share ...
Intravenous nutrition in critically ill patients should be delayed, study finds
2011-06-07
Patients in the intensive care unit who do not tolerate adequate nutrition from tube feeding should wait a week before receiving intravenous (IV) feeding because, compared with early IV feeding, it enhances recovery from critical illness. Results of a new multicenter study from Belgium will be presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston.
"These findings have enormous impact for improving quality and reducing the cost of medical care for critically ill patients," said the study's principal investigator, Greet Van den Berghe, MD, PhD, a professor ...
Women's risk of heart disease after gestational diabetes differs by race
2011-06-07
New research finds that gestational diabetes, or pregnancy-related diabetes, may not raise the risk of heart disease independent of other cardiovascular risk factors except in certain high-risk populations, such as Hispanics. The results will be presented Monday at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston.
"The prevalence of gestational diabetes is increasing, and its impact for the mother can extend well beyond pregnancy by raising her risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease," said study co-author Rhonda Bentley-Lewis, MD, of Massachusetts ...
Low vitamin D levels are related to decreased response to osteoporosis medicine
2011-06-07
Women with low bone density are seven times more likely to benefit from a bisphosphonate drug when their vitamin D blood levels are above recent recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) as adequate for bone health. These new study results will be presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston.
"Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels above those recently recommended by the IOM is important for optimizing a standard therapy for osteoporosis: bisphosphonates," said coauthor Richard Bockman, MD, PhD, chief of the endocrine service at ...
Desserts with a low glycemic index may benefit weight-loss efforts for obese children
2011-06-07
Overweight girls lose more weight and can better stay on a healthy diet if they eat sugar-free, low-fat desserts several times weekly, as opposed to any dessert once a week, a new study finds. The results will be reported Monday at The Endocrine Society's 93rd Annual Meeting in Boston.
"Dieters commonly splurge on dessert once a week, usually choosing fattening items," said lead investigator Antonia Dastamani, MD, PhD, a pediatrician and research fellow at Athens University School of Medicine in Athens, Greece. "However, we found a positive effect of more frequent consumption ...
