SHIPWRECK POST
OFFICE HAS OPENED
|
On the 19th of March 2006, The
Reef Dive Resort at Mataking Island, has celebrated
the opening of the first underwater post office
with sinking of ¡§MATAKING 1¡¨.
With replay of titanic scene, over 40 participants
including editors, people from the press and international
guests and most enlightening ship wreck party,
the ship is being sank according to plan in a
most memorable manner as never seen before. Resort
Manager, Mr. Adrian Van Dooren highlighted that
this is the First for Malaysia and will attract
a lot of divers who like to put some fun diving.
He is very proud of his project team members and
staffs for all their great efforts and valuable
contribution. There was a special dinner evening
with lucky draws and performances by our staff,
followed by a ¡§shipwreck party¡¨.
¡¥MATAKING 1¡¨ is an old 40 foot wooden cargo ship
used 4 years ago when The Reef Dive Resort was
first build. The ship has not been used since
and it was decided to float it and sink it at
their famous house reef near the front of the
resort. This will create an artificial reef, which
will attract many tropical reef fishes. The wreck
will become a home for other incredible marine
creatures, which are plentiful abound, in the
clear tropical waters surrounding this spectacular
island. A mail box is placed on the wheel house
of this new ship wreck. Now divers can ¡§post¡¨
their letters and post cards underwater. A special
rubber stamp was designed to depict this unique
postal service. The mail box will be cleared two
times a week.
