Wasage Divers

Between us, we have spent thousands of hours underwater as both dive professionals and marine scientists. In this time, we realized something uncomfortable: even people who admire and value coral reefs can unintentionally contribute to their decline through their actions underwater. That observation led us to ask a simple question: how much impact are divers actually having on coral reefs underwater – and do they realize it?

We found that most damaging contacts were accidental and often went entirely unnoticed.

Vozinha was one of the standout performers in this summer’s World Cup, and now the Cape Verde goalkeeper has been recognised by having a newly discovered species named in his honour.

A new species of marine mollusk has been named after the 40-year-old by the Spanish researcher Jesus Ortea in his published work Historias de la Bioadversidad (translated into English as Biodiversity Stories).

A new species of marine mollusk discovered in the Caribbean has been named after the 40-year-old goalkeeper.

Next stop Binongko, the southern most island in the Wakatobi chain, and the island least visited by divers... comfortable hotel, simple food, beautiful views... hopefully we will have some diving pictures for you soon...

Who loves camping? Are you a tent, a hammock, or a sleep on the beach type?

Our visiting group had a lovely night 'roughing it' on Indaa atoll, and even our local crew felt privileged to wake up here 🥰
