NOUVELLES ET BULLETINS

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.

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!

New school year has started

In the Philippines the summer vacation is in April and May, so this month the schools started again, also for the kids of our staff. We are very proud that we have now 5 children sponsored so that they can go to a private school. Herewith we want to thank the sponsors who make this possible.

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!

Much diving at Moalboal

Whether it is a night or a day dive, Goby Point always guarantees success.
There is a lot to explore; goby's, stargazer, pegasus, dragonet fish, sea snakes, sea horses and much more. As the dive site is just 5 meter deep and there is much to discover, our guests usually forget the time and a dive of 90 minutes is no exception.

Air movie of Magic Island

Besides the already existing movies, there is now a new film on our website.
Last summer there was a unique film made with a remote controlled helicopter with a professional video camera. The camera made 5 short films and they were later edited into one film, check on our website, YouTube and Facebook pages. The camera also made beautiful pictures and they can be found in the gallery of the resort.

Christmas 2010 childrens party

150 children from our district enjoyed our special Christmas party.
Together with our colleague Jinki from Planet Action we organised a Christmas party on December 25 for all the kids from the district. There was their favourite food and drinks. After that the children surprised us with several great dances as a way to say ‘thank you’. Of course we also had small presents for all of them. The party was a big success and will be continued next year.

PADI Dive for Earth day 2009

Le 22 avril, un groupe de plongeurs sérieux et sympas a plongé sur les récifs de Moalboal à la recherche d’ordures. La bonne nouvelle : nous n'en avons pas trouvé beaucoup ! Comme les plongeurs n’avaient pas beaucoup à faire, on a pris le temps d’examiner le récif. Une bonne nouvelle: les coraux sont en bon état. C’était un jour plaisant et nous en sommes sûrs : nous le ferons à nouveau l’année prochaine ! Vous serez de la partie ?

Il n'y a rien grand le vrai café!

Commençant fin février nous avons un vraie machine italienne de café. N'est-il pas grand d'apprécier un café frais, un cappuchino de noisette ou un macchiato de caramel? En même temps que les plaisirs de café nous servons le gâteau frais, chaque fois une saveur différente.

Requins baleines

Février est devenu le mois du requin baleine. Plusieurs de nos plongeurs étaient chanceux; au total nous avons vu 3 ce mois.
