The Lobster Dive Club at Asia Divers

apr16b1

“With fifty people including 36 divers, we organized a trip to Puerto Galera for the 45th anniversary of our diving club “De Kreeft” (The Lobsters) from Belgium.

After a long exhausting journey, the enthusiastic team of El Galleon Beach Resort and Dive Center Asia Divers waited for us. Yes, it was already clear, it would be a fantastic week in the Philippines. Our high expectations were relieved by the professional team of Asia Divers, they guided us into the underwater world to the seahorses, frogfish, ghost pipefish, all kinds nudibranch, unseen coral,……….. Incredible! Also, the trip to Verde Island, an absolute must and with very nice dives. The friendly staff at the El Galleon Beach Resort made our stay as pleasant as possible, also the restaurant is highly recommended. After a week we had to return unfortunately to our home with only half of the group, the other half remained a week longer for some extra dives and to explore Mindoro.

Asia Divers and El Galleon, where service makes the difference.”

Sea Base Life

apr16a7

This blog is about interesting sea life that has been sent to us by SeaLifeBase. The one is about “Ocean Giants: Giant Clam”. As many of you know, we have many of these here in one of our dive sites in Puerto Galera. Please see: http://sealifebaseproject.blogspot.com/2015/03/ocean-giants-giant-clam.html

You can become a SeaLifeBase collaborator. WHAT is a “SeaLifeBase collaborator,” and WHO can be one? In a nutshell, SeaLifeBase collaborators are the people who help us by: a) sending or alerting us to references and photos, which we have not yet used; b) assembling data from published sources using a preformatted template; and/or c) verifying or correcting data that we have extracted and incorporated into the information system.  Some of them are — but not limited to — biologists, taxonomists, scientists, and other experts.  Some are aquarists, photographers, businessmen, and marine-life enthusiasts.  Truly, we welcome contributions from anybody who has a passion for marine life.  http://sealifebaseproject.blogspot.com/p/collaboration.html
