Green Fins

The Green Fins organisation has also started in the Philippines. Our dive centre was the first from Moalboal to get the annual approval sign!
Green fins is a organisation from the United Nations Environment Programme and Reef World. Their mission is: To protect and conserve coral reefs by establishing and implementing environmentally friendly guidelines to promote a sustainable diving tourism industry.

Oldest diver at Magic Island

This month Corry was our guest and she is now the new record holder.
This young lady is 77 years old, very enthusiastic, a great diver, fantastic company and she is very young at heart. We say: congratulations!

Discover Scuba

As during the construction of the new kitchen the resort was closed, our whole staff could get the opportunity to learn how to dive.
It was a big success and almost everyone made a dive at the house reef, complete with turtles and frogfishes. Our staff now understands even better why guests come to visit us.

A new kitchen

After three months of preparation for this big project, the resort was closed for 3 weeks in July.
For many years our kitchen team created the best food you can imagine in the old and small kitchen, but now they can really let themselves go on the new, modern and professional stainless steel kitchen. The team is very happy with it and that can be noted!

Pirates

Besides “Pirates of the Caribbea” there are now also “Pirates of the Philippines”.
The pirates have taken over our boat and they take the divers on journeys to mysterious dive spots with caves, steep walls covered with hidden jewels and bright white beaches. Who knows what kind of treasures they find!

Boot nr.3 in use

In the previous newsletter we have already mentioned the building of our third boat and now it’s in use.

Boot Show 2011 in Germany

Late January Desiree and Concheng were the guests of Wiro Dive on the Boat Show in Germany. It was a very successful show with many familiar faces but also many potential guests came by. For Concheng it was a great experience, flight, jet lag, food and European culture. She now understands how our guests feel and she can give even better service.

Reception of Magic Island

The team has recently expanded with Nerissa.
With the growing number of guests we have extended our reception crew. Besides Concheng there is now also Nerissa present throughout the day. She can help you out with questions; arrange massage, waterfall tours and she also assist with the many e-mail correspondence.

Christmas party for the kids

Together with Planet Action we organised a Christmas party for the kids of the neighbour- hood. There was food, drinks, presents and music. The kids performed dances to thank us. It was a great event that for sure we will do again in 2011.

Facebook

Finally we succumbed to the pressure of guests to make a Facebook page.
You can find us at Facebook, or thru the link at our Homepage. We welcome feedback of what you think of the page and more importantly, what topics we can add. We already got requests for a photo album of the staff and a cooking section.

WIFI

The whole resort has now WIFI. At your balcony, the bar or relaxing in the lounge area, everywhere you can connect to the internet with your smart phone or laptop.

NEW: Welness Spa

Have you had an intense day diving? If so, it’s high time for some pampering. Treat yourself to a Mahiya Masahe, or Magic Massage.

Motorcycles

There is really no better way to explore your surroundings. Touring around at your own pace and discovering the real Philippines. You can hire motorcycles at the resort.

On April 22 we together with our diving guests searched the reefs of Moalboal for garbage. The good news: we found little! Because the divers were not so busy, there was also time for a reef survey. Again good news: the coral gardens are in excellent shape. It turned out to be a fantastic day and we know for sure: next year we do it again! Who will join us?

Internet cafe

Check your e-mails, safe your pictures, make a holiday diary, upload your weblog, . . . It's all possible! Especially for our guests we have installed a new computer with internet connection.

Real coffee instead of instant

Finally we bought a professional coffee machine and now we can offer our guests espresso, cappuchino and more. To make everything complete we also have some flavors like chocolate, caramel and hazelnut.

Whale shark month

February has turned into a whale shark month. Many of our divers were lucky; on total we had 3 sightings this month.
