This exceptional island-hopping adventure from one palm-fringed tropical island to another, starts in the chilled out beach resort of Puerto Galera, and culminates in Coron to snorkel or dive on a fleet of Japanese WWII shipwrecks, and to kayak around spectacular, towering limestone islands. This is an ideal trip for divers of all levels and non-divers too.
Bookings close for the March run of this trip at the end of this month, January, due to high demand for rooms at the lovely Sangat Island Reserve. The March departure is guaranteed to go. If you have a group of 4 or more, we can tailor a similar trip to your own dates and objectives.

Conservation agencies have released one of the most endangered turtles — a Southern River Terrapin — back into the wild, with officials, conservationists, and local residents attending the release ceremony on January 16.
The release was first announced Monday by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the Cambodian Fisheries Administration and Wildlife Reserves Singapore. The 75-pound female turtle was released into the Sre Ambel River in Cambodia, outfitted with a satellite tracking tag, to allow researchers to monitor the turtle’s movements in the wild, according to a WCS press release.
The released turtle is one of only 200 Southern River Terrapins remaining in Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia, and only one of fewer than ten nesting females in the Sre Ambel River, according to estimates from PhysOrg.

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has launched a Sustainable Seafood Policy. The new policy, which includes the commitment to cease serving shark fin in all of its operated restaurants, as well as accepting new orders for shark fin products in banqueting, is with immediate effect.
Shangri-La also has plans to phase out blue fin tuna and Chilean sea bass in all its operated restaurants within the year.
In December 2010 the company initiated the process with the removal of shark fin products from its restaurant menus.
