Central Oregon Diving Group


On  March 19, 2010 we had Guest from Central Oregon Diving Group USA

They stayed at Cocotinos for 6 days 5 nights and do 12 dives..
After we give them the Briefing about our Resort and the dive plan with Odyssea Divers, they did 1 dive at the House reef.

The first full day dives they went to Bunaken Island we separate 2 group that time, we using 2 of our Diving Boat, Fei-Fei, 1 of our diving boat after to weeks of Renovation Fei-Fei is ready to serve the Divers.
and the other of our diving boat is Delphine.

we bring them to do 2 dives at Bunaken Island and 1 dive at House Reef, cos the first day they do the dive at house reef, they like to do the dive around house reef, they said that many small thing there.
Central Oregon (USA) lead by Walt Bolton, Walt's group has given the all Thumbs Up! for the new layout and improved accessibility Around the Boat!

After Finish the dive that day, all comeback to Cocotinos Resort to continue the activities around the Resort, some of them love to go at Laleina Spa, We have often been asked what The Lailena Spa was named after? “La Leina”simply means ‘The Sea” in the language of the Tombulu people, one of the indigenous group living in the Minahasa Highlands of North Sulawesi. The tree under which the spais built is the Hibiscus tiliaceus, a lush tree that is commonly found along the coastal areas of Indonesia archipelago. So, Lailena Spa simply means “The Sea Spa”, a name befitting its location, and which sets the tone for a wonderful and relaxing experience.

Other Activity that they do during when they stay at Cocotinos Resort Manado is, Mount Mahawu Trekking, leave from Cocotinos by van and heading to the city of Tomohon, an active volcano an altitude of 1311 meters. It takes approximately 1 hour to reach the volcano’s rim, passing through potato and onion fields dotted with cows. An easy for all.
Before we went to the top of Volcano we stop for take a part of Reforesting that theydo around the Volcano, Glad to be a part of the Reforesting! As a divers we’re not only taking care of the ocean, also we care about jungle J “Save Our Ocean,Go Green!”.

Some of them didn’t  go for trekking, they still on diving..
When we come back to Cocotinos Resort, some of them continue they activity to do Mandarin Dive, and the other, chose go for Massage at Lailena Spa.

We have great time when we accompany  them!
Thank you very much for your visit to Cocotinos Resort Manado!
Hope to see all of you again!
