2010
From a hot and sunny Philippines, we would like to wish all of the readers of our newsletter a prosperous, successful and
healthy 2010.
Magic Island turns 5!
On 2 January 2010, Magic Island celebrated its 5th anniversary. Together with everyone staying at our resort, other guests,
and of course our reliable staff, we celebrated this occasion with a smashing party. We look back on five successful years
with satisfaction.
Stargazer
The stargazer is such a unique animal. Since it hides entirely in the sand, this fish is also very difficult to find.Although
its eyes are the only thing visible between the grains of sand, our Divemasters are able to find it every time. This fish’s
scientific name, Astroscopus guttatus means “he who looks at the stars”. This special creature can also give an
electrical shock, so be careful!
Talent
Jurriaan, a special bubblemaker. Not only a dive in the swimming pool during the day, but also a night dive in the pool, followed
by a daytime dive in the coral garden, and finally, a real night dive on the resort’s own reef...quite an extraordinary
experience if you’re only 8. Under the direct supervision of the instructor, Jurriaan did exactly what he was told.
A heartfelt congratulations, Jurriaan!
Boot Dusseldorf 2010
From 23 to 31 January, we will once again be present at Europe’s largest water sports exhibition. You can find us in
Hall 3, Stand D74 (‘TaucherTraum’).

12 1/2 wedding anniversary. Thea and Jeroen were also celebrating 30 years together, Ronald and Georgina spent their honeymoon
at our resort, and Math celebrated his birthday.
