Great Weekend

This weekend has seen some amazing diving in Dili and up and down the coast. Lone tree has fallen done so is now no tree and "scary crab" has once again proven it is one of timors most amazing sites. In one dive we found 2 frog fish, 4 leaf scorpion fish, a cuttle fish, stone fish and a heap more (see pics below).

Vis up the coast at "No tree" hit 20m --which is great for this time of year and we are expecting more on Atauro Island tomorrow.

2008 and a new year for Diving and East TImor

2008 is here

and most people have or are returning from their family holidays from all corners of the world. East Timor looks set for a great year of diving! Currenlty we are still in the middle of the wet season and vis is best expected at 10m along the shore dives.

Those lucky enough to get to Atauro Island can expect better vis up to 25m.

DTL has a new dive team line up with Volker Katzung (German) returning for another season as manager and Mark Mialszygrosz (Australian) returning after being MIA in Australia for a few years. Also returning part time is Rui (Portuguese) and Maartin (Dutch) allowing DTL to cover courses in English, German, Portuguese and Dutch.

Martin (our Dive master in training) is 3/4 finished and will be helping out at the dive centre for the first 1/4 of the year.
