GETTING BACK ON TRACK: MOALBOAL PHILIPPINES

It's been a good day today, I started by popping down the dive centre as the boss @scubahead had a few jobs he was wanting to get done. For me that meant a bit of painting, after weeks of nothing much happening there due to lock down we are now all systems go getting the place spruced up, in a week from now restrictions are going to be lifted which means we can finally go diving again and more importantly for the business we can start to welcome back customers. This will be a great mental boost for everyone, @scubahead has said that there are a lot of tourists that stayed in the area stuck in corona limbo, some of which will be diving with the shop so it will be a special day when the first walk back through the gates which have not seen much action recently.

Ready to welcome you back.

One person who can't wait to get back is my wife "Koz", she is just a small part of the team at 4 foot 11 inches, she is a deceiving package though with a background as a Judo champion and now a great diving instructor don't underestimate her, big things come in little packages. I for one will be happy to see her back doing what she loves along with the rest of the crew.

Ready for action are you?

After a spot of painting and general maintenance we headed home to have a few social beers on the terrace at our compound, Koz and myself are neighbours with @scubahead which makes for a cool set up that when we want to we can extend the day with a few sundown drinks and not have too far to stumble back home. Before the light failed I caught a couple of pictures of the low tide with the mountains in the background, not a bad view to have out front of your house.

Have you got bookings for dives yet or is it something that you need to advertise and develop over time? I can't imagine there to be bookings as people wouldn't have known when the restrictions were to be lifted. I could be wrong though. Anyway, it seems you're going to get back to normal soon which is good. All the best.

There are a few people that stayed in the area that plan to dive with us but we will have to hope for a little domestic tourism for now.

I think any little bit will help, not just to get the business moving, but to get you all back into the groove of it, and feeling better that you're on a path to recovery. Let us hope that tourism resumes soon, domestic and international, and we can all get on with our lives. Best of luck.

Lets hope for the best, thanks for your comments.
