- John Dutton (Quo Vadis DR) welcomed all and outlined the basic aim of meeting;
“To present the concept of forming a new and inclusive alliance group of all diving centers within the municipality of Moalboal.”
- Following a presentation of the above, summarizing current status of local diving community, benefits of a cooperative group (association) and way forward to form a collaborative group, the consensus of attendees agreed creating a new “association” would be a positive move forward for the local dive center businesses.
- It was acknowledged that with 17 of the 33 registered Dive centers attending this meeting, for the association to succeed, the remaining centers should be involved.
- The proposal of creating a formal association was agreed, to launch group it was also agreed that Jamie Gladwin (Magic Island) will act as President and John Dutton as acting Secretary. At a later date when all dive centers are members, these positions (plus any identified others) would be reviewed to fill with elected candidates.
- In preparation, Lee Butler (Savedra Dive Center) is creating a “Moalboal Dive Association” website to allow easy communication for the group.
