31.12.2011 New Years Eve 2011/12!!

New Years Eve celebrations were kicked off in style this year at the annual Mana Island Resort Countdown. The Aqua Trek staff were in full support as the festivities got underway at around 9pm. As in previous years, the new year countdown was aided by around 200 resort guests and staff. As the clock struck midnight, 2012 was introduced with an impressive champagne shower that was gratuitously received from all in the vicinity! As the festivities were drawing to an end, our own Dive Instructor Asami was plunged into the resort swimming pool, a polite gesture for all the hard work she has contributed to Aqua Trek over the past year!

Aqua Trek would like to thank all that were in attendance for making it a magical evening. Now the new year is upon us, we would also like to wish everyone all the very best for 2012. We hope to see you all soon!

04.11.2011 Turtle release

On 4th November 2011 Mana Island was blessed with the presence of the Mamanuca Environment Team (E-Team) in partnership with Aqua Trek Mana. It was a very special day for the E-Team as three of their treasured and protected Hawksbill Turtles were released back into the wild where they belong. The turtles have been inhabitants of Mana Island for 2 years and watching them depart for their rightful home was both joyous and emotional for the E-Team! The event was also run in line with the Mana Island Resort returnee week, therefore many good old friends of Mana Island were in attendance. Around 50 guests attended to witness the turtle release on North Beach, Mana Island, many of whom also participated in the coral planting session.

Every month the E-Team in partnership with Aqua Trek Mana, coordinates a coral planting event. This begins with our professional divers searching for freshly damaged or broken coral on the reefs of Mana Island. They then transport the coral to the North Beach where guests have the opportunity to plant the coral in a special cement. The tray of freshly planted coral is then transported to the local reefs where the E-Team monitors and nurtures it. This is just one of the many ways in which the E-Team demonstrates their commitment towards saving and preserving the coral reefs of the Mamanuca Islands.

Mango flower blooms in spring season and of course the long day light with hot sun shines that will be the most tasteful fruit.

29.01.2010 Turtle Pond

We have our very own little Turtle Pond built right next to the dive shop which is home to nine beautiful,3 months old Hawksbill turtles. They were introduced to the pond in late October when they were only 1 week old.Hawksbill turtle is one of the critically endangered species.They can grow up to a maximum of 1 metre,weighing up to 80 kg.For feeding,they use their pointed beak to catch invertebrates from the coral crevices and they are mostly found near rocky and coral reefs in the Tropics.

29.01.2010 Coral Planting

The Mamanuca Environment Society(MES) assisted Mana with the coral planting project that commenced in December 2008. The Dive Team set out to transplant the corals that have been placed in the bay on a metal framed table with a mesh wire top, to re-plant the ares of the reefs that were dead. The coral tips were cut off and then placed in hydraulic cement which acted as a base for the corals to grow. This is kept on the table for 6 months and monitered before it is transplanted. Soon after the corals were planted on the reef, schools of fish were seen swimming in the area. Mana hopes this new project will help generate life back on the coral reefs that have been adversely affected by crown-of-thorns infestations, sedimentations and damages by humans such as breakage and trampling.
