Welcome to our October 2017 Newsletter

 

At the time of writing these lines WAOW was arriving in the port of Ambon, after 11 days of navigation across the Banda Sea. Once again the marine "oasis" of this itinerary has offered a spectacle well beyond the level of our already high expectations : schools of hammerheads, jacks, barracudas and beautiful reefs. Amazing action at the meeting point. We also came across two blue whales at the surface, as majestic as they are rare. Actually, it is estimated that there are only between 10'000-25'000 specimens remaining in our global oceans.  Don't miss our next newsletter for a review of this exceptional cruise. In the meantime you can check out our facebook page . Several photos and videos are already online.  

For this October newsletter we will talk about some last minute deals for festivities in the tropics, some up coming dive shows and some opportunities to take advantage of.

On this occasion we are offering an exceptional reduction of CHF 1'000.00 per person for those who can find flight schedules and take advantage of these last spaces.

A unique opportunity to celebrate Christmas and New Year in a dream like décor. If you are tempted to join us don't hesitate to get in contact.

Fishing forbidden

A recent experience has obliged us to remind you that fishing, angling or spearfishing is strictly forbidden on WAOW. This is applicable both within, and outside the National Park areas. WAOW is a vessel dedicated to scuba diving and we would prefer to see the fish life evolve in open seas rather than hanging from the end of a fishing line.  Thank you for your kind understanding.

DEMA Dive Show - Orlando

This exhibition is "THE" show of the year where the diving industry meets to do business. This year the show is in Orlando from 1-4 November at the Orange County Convention Center. Liveaboards, dive centers, dive resorts, travel companies, equipment manufacturers, photographers and photographic companies, tourism offices... Everybody will be here! We are very happy to participate this year and Julia and Stephane will welcome you at stand 452. We look forward to seeing those of you there. 


Salon Nautique du Léman
Geneva  


As with each year we will be present at the Geneva Nautical Exhibition being held the 10, 11 and 12 November 2017 at Palexpo in Geneva. 120 exhibitors await those passionate for the ocean, sailing, motor boating, watersports and diving. Michel and Stephane will be on hand to discuss your past or future memories on the foredeck of WAOW. 

To obtain free entry passes, its pretty simple : Connect to the exhibition website and sign up for the newsletter. Download your invitation and present it at the entrance to the exhibition.

Cenderawasih Bay
Whale Shark Festival 

In 2018 there will only be 2 cruises scheduled for an exploration of Cenderawasih Bay : From 21 to 31 January and then 03 to 13 February. 



Found to the north of Raja Ampat, this large bay is partially classified as a National Park and is a nursery for more than 1800 known marine species, many of which are endemic. From Manokwari to Biak, our itinerary of 10 nights allows you to discover the best sites of the bay, starting with the Japanese wrecks from WWII, there are also drop-offs frequented by pelagics and with preserved seascapes. The highlight undoubtably remains the concentration of whale sharks around the "bagans" (floating fishing platforms specially designed to catch a type of anchovy adored by the Indonesians). You will be able to immerse yourself with the whale sharks for an observation rarely possible. 
Don't miss out also on the land excursion to see the famous "Bird of Paradise" accompanied by local guides.
A voyage where time stops and the nature is sublime. A return to the source.
