Tragic loss of beloved president and underwater sports advocate, Benedict Reyes, leaves community in mourning

It is with great dismay and sadness that we received the news that our very dear friend Benedict Reyes passed away yesterday, 23rd June. Ben has been the guiding light and President of PAUA (Philippine Association of Underwater Activities) for many years.

Ben was a great advocate of the CMAS underwater sports and promoted Finswimming, Freediving and Underwater Hockey in the Philippines and had athletes and teams participating at the highest levels.

Our condolences and deepest sympathies are with Ben's loving family and wide circle of friends at this sad time.

Kevin O'SHAUGHNESSY
CMAS Secretary General
