Splash Admin. Asst.: 1st week of May 2008, what’s the latest innovative? Well, we spent the GOLDEN WEEK holiday similar to other previous years. In Palau most diving operation , room accommodation and reservation for tourist or other excursion activity is crowded even booked in advance because that’s what exactly Golden week look like every year.

Hey! What is Golden Week Holiday means? Okay, for basic information this holiday is a collection of four National days within seven days. Let me tell you what the merriment days are!

1. April 29, (SHOWA DAY) Birthday of former Emperor Showa.
2. May 3, Constitution Day (Kenpo Kinenbi)
3. May 4, Greenery Day (Midori no hi)
4.May 5, Childrens Day (Kodomo no hi)

That is why if you notice, Japanese travelers and visitors specially during the month of May are all over places to celebrate. Now that the week is over of course we give ourselves a short break too. Is that sounds fair enough? And, as usual, the Splash Team, our Divers, Guides and Instructor are taking sometimes off too but of course getting ready for the next BIG one.

Yours truly is all set and ready because the whole family is geared up for FISHING trip so bye-bye for now!!!

Till next time!!!

Well, I would say April is exceptional. One of busy season in our year calendar so far, Splash diving activity is sizzling hot but the most overwhelming and rewarding part of it is to be able to see and welcome once again our repeater guests and of course including our valued new customers. Although sometimes the diving schedule are loaded and intense but seeing our guest every morning with excitement for the day trip it gives us countless energy to get-up and-go for another day of work.

I decided to drop a line in behalf of Splash Team for I know “Thank you” statement when you see them leaving is not enough. Therefore, to all our guests and repeater guest, meeting your expectation and leaving us with smile on your faces the “REAL” pleasure is “OURS”. Your part of our success and having a chance to see you once again keeps us going everyday.

Thus, allow me to mention the names of innumerable number of visit from our repeat guests for the month of April 2008 list. You’re part of our success in this business. We “THANK YOU” and we deeply appreciate your support.

Particularly to the ff:
1. Mr. and Mrs. Kazuo Morishima from Japan
2. Mr. and Mrs. Syd Mace - from England
3. Mr. Matsuoka/Atsushi and Ms. Natsu Takemoto from Japan
4. Mr. and Mrs. Joichi Saito from Japan

Dive Master: Hello reader(s), Today we did three dives, two dives on Siaes reef and the third at Chandelier Cave. The first dive was at Siaes Tunnel
it was splendid,the visibility was outstanding and created this wonderful blue, turquoise light that flashed into the
windows of the tunnel which added to a beautiful background of sea fans and soft corals. The drift out on the wall was colorful
and full of treats. It was decorated with blooming soft corals, sea fans and sponges. Nudibranches,moray eels,fairy anthiases,
pyramid butterfly fishes and lots more kept us busy with a smile until the dive ended. Our second dive although was on the corner
of the same reef which starts of as a wall dive and it was twice as nice. The wall is more fruitfull and it goes with a drift
as well.Eventually we made it to the corner and hooked ourselves on and just spent the rest of the dive just wondering how these
many gray reef sharks manage to stay soo steamlined in such strong current. Upon our safety stop we drifted over this school of
big eye barracudas that gave us a good show three and a half minutes. On our way back we came through the Rock Islands again
and did our third and last dive at Chandelier Cave. We went down and into the cave and surfaced on each of the three and a half
chambers and then upon our exit we turned off our torches and just followed the turquoise light back to the front of the cave
to search for some mandarin fishes it was a nice way to end our dives. We all enjoyed the dives and were looking forward to
having as much fun tomorrw. Okay, now that I have that off my chest i`m going to clock out and go enjoy the sunset with a cold
drink so peace and much love ....me ikung.
