Siltless Diving leaded by Jason Kho Gillo trained the Axe Apollo Philippine Team by providing them three in-water instructions, they were taken on a Discover Scuba Experience program for them to deal with near-weightless environments. As an introduction rather than a full course, of the 5 Chapters required to complete the Discover Scuba Experience program, only 1 was given for the three astronaut hopefuls.
Then the AXE Apollo Team Philippines were given a physical test at the St. Luke’s Global City's Felicidad Sy Health and Wellness Center, to assess their physical fitness and health readiness for the rigors of space camp. They had basic medical consultations, blood tests, x-rays, treadmill exercise tests, ECG’s, and ultrasound using the hospital’s state-of-the-art facilities.
