Yuriss Tai, a 32-year-old Advanced Open Water diver, departed from Taiwan airport on Nov 10 and arrived at Mabul Water Bungalows Resort to begin intensive pre-pageant activities and training.
During orientation, contestants were given a briefing about their upcoming schedule and learned about the pageant’s history, which strives to celebrate the inner beauty and courage of today’s modern women while advocating worldwide marine conservation.
Founder and President of Miss Scuba International, Datuk Robert Lo, encouraged the ambassadors to spread the importance of marine conservation.
The pageant was more focused on goodwill than outward appearances.
