Daniela Pobuba, Manager of the Dive Centre,
explains that ‘the unique untouched marine
in the protected park areas around Silhouette
makes it a divers heaven. A full range of sea
animals from turtles, rays, sharks, octopus,
to stone fish, and eels, to name a few, can be
seen in the waters surrounding the island.
Also from November to January, divers are
able to see whale sharks, and no diver is left
unsatisfied’. With a PADI 5 Star IDC dive center,
connected to the around the clock Medical
Centre, (run by a German Doctor with a Diving
Medicine Officer accreditation), that houses
its own recompression chamber, the resort is
fully equipped to fulfill any diver’s needs’. This
chamber is used occasionally with clients from
neighbouring islands as this dive centre boasts
a 100 % safety record’, Daniela concludes.
