THE Quezon Provincial Tourism Office has issued an advisory strictly prohibiting diving activities throughout the province of Quezon starting March 1, until further information confirms that it is safe to resume.

"The public, especially beach resort owners, are advised to temporarily suspend diving activities and related services," the advi-sory said.

This decision was made due to the current unsafe conditions of the sea and confirmed reports of shark attacks.

The Philippine Coast Guard reported that two Russian tourists lost their lives while scuba diving in Batangas, with one appar-ent drowning victim and another believed to have been attacked by a shark.
