Who is Who

TORBEN BOHN
Pacifica's architect, interior designer, compressor genius, ultimate perfectionist and dictator daddy, Torben Bohn had never heard of the Philippines till his flight did a stopover here on its way to Palau. While in Palau, he met a group of Filipinos on a dive vacation, including his future wife! He landed a job in the Philippines and the rest, as they say, is history.

GIGI SANTOS
Gigi got involved in the dive business back in the days when all scuba gear was made of black rubber. A self-confessed gear junkie, she has checked out every color and tried almost every model of dive equipment available in the Philippines but was always looking for the next best thing. With Pacifica now open, she gets to choose the best stuff for the shop and help others shop too!

PATRICK UY-TIOCO
An avid diver since 1994, Patrick is secretly Pacifica’s gourmet chef, tech guy and Mac geek. Fueled by his enthusiasm for the ocean, Patrick became actively involved with reef activists and environmental organizations. As a PADI instructor, he imparts his passion for the ocean to his dive students, and as our equipment specialist, Patrick's OC-ness is an asset!

MAGS YAP
An avid photographer, she was intrigued by the many challenges of underwater photography and won an underwater photo competition on her very first attempt at taking shots under the sea! Mags is also Pacifica's retail guru, with 10 years of experience in the retailing industry of branded sports and casual apparel.

DEV ESPINA
Kite surfing, shooting, camping, and braving sun, sea and sky to sail from Manila to H.K. -- Dev is an adventurer at heart. Responsible and resourceful, this man of faith even tries to do his share to slow the greenhouse effect and traded in his car for a mountain bike. One day he went biking, kept biking, and kept on biking, pedaling all the way into the shop. He now holds post as Pacifica’s corporate accounts executive and also acts as our Undercover Bouncer.

MICHELLE VERSON
This extremely competent and ever popular member of our staff, none of us could get anything done without Michelle around. She constantly has a smile on her face and infects everyone with her good humor.

ENRIE DOMINGUEZ
Extremely efficient and affable, Enrie is the one we run to for advice on any money matter. A no-nonsense woman, she also dispenses our monthly “baon”. Enrie is not a diver YET, but has been around the water sports business for a long time.

ROY BAGAHANSOL
Our all around guy,  Roy is meticulous and polite.  From driving the company truck to assisting during pool sessions, he can be counted upon to help us out.
