During the last days we have been writing about former Prodivers staff, and it is nice to know from them how life goes on after being working in the Maldives.

Our next one is more than a visitor and it happens to be one of the participants of the show with who we are sharing the stand.

Julian Ortega Godoy was working for Prodivers 7 years (1996-2003), he was mainly based in Kuredu however when it was needed he was also helping in Komandoo and Vakarufalhi.

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Despite the warm weather, the blue ocean and endless Manta sightings at the moment, we have actually been knuckling down to bring you something new and exciting!  Welcome to the PD Blog!

This Blog will replace the previous ‘Latest News’ section on the website, but don’t worry, all the old links will still bring you to the latest articles, and all of the previous news has been safely stored in a newly created News Archive.  One of the great things about switching to this new Blog is that we want you to be involved in this website as well.  So when we tell you about the 20+ Mantas at Fushivaru Thila, you can now back us up – adding your own experiences of your dives and snorkeling trips with us.  We will explain more about this shortly, because this is not all that we have changed!  (more…)
