September and October was really nice for us too. We have many familiar faces visiting us before we close for the season. We get to dive, catch up, eat, laugh and enjoy the bubbleness together. That meant so much to us all at Bubbles after the hectic high season. We also get a special visitor Mr. Smiley to drop by to give the season a grand finale! Thank u Mr. Smiley for dropping by and for making our dive crews’ season complete!

Again a big thank you. See you next season on the 1st of March 2012.

Thank you Tarz for sharing!

Hey guys, are you reminiscing the days you were here at Bubbles, having your first close encounter with a nesting turtle? Or releasing your first hatchling, and see it swim into the darkness of the ocean.  Bubbles Dive Resort is looking for Head Volunteers for our Turtle and Reef Conservation Project. The all new program will now encompass managing and maintaining our own hatchery, and we have taken on the task of replanting our house reef.

The head volunteer will assist the chief facilitator in organizing and managing daily activities. More importantly, you will be the in-charge of the overnight turtle/poacher watch. You will be certified as an Eco-diver, well equipped to collect and execute reef checks and reef surveys.  Over the duration of the 4 weeks, you will be orientated on the project and will work hand-in-hand with the chief facilitator, providing an added dimension of experience and opinion to the execution of the project.

Look no further, contact us at info@bubbles.com to find out more!
