Dugong Paradise

The Bay around Dimakya Island has an average of 22 resident Dugongs and so far this year we had out of 58 dugong watching trips 49 Trips with dugong sightings (84.5%). The last trip was on the 18. August and the 11 guests joined been lucky and saw mother and calf. The 12 years old Claudia’s big dream came true …. Since she is a very good swimmer and skin diver, she could follow them for more than 30 minutes and took a lots of pictures and video clips. The visibility was not so good and there was no sunlight, but everyone has been so happy. Dugongs visited also the House Reef already 16 times this year. All guests from Club Paradise ( Dimakya Island ) could see the amazing Sea cow by snorkeling and diving on those days. Even the last 5 month of 2009 dugongs show up at the house reef every month. The sea grass bed is just in front of the resort restaurant.
