Veligandu Island Resort: the dream destination for a diving holiday in the Maldives

ellisderkx Leave a comment

Usually, I focus on scuba diving destinations and this often goes together with a lower budget. I´m not a luxury…

Back in my element 😁

The new dive academy, Nautico in Arguineguín on Gran Canaria has new owners (see previous post) working with an eco-friendly concept ❤ They have installed a water filter to save plastic and refill little glass bottles instead of the plastic ones. They are also converting the pool in a salt water one to use less chemicals!

15 years ago, I did my divemaster traineeship at dive academy and now I am there again some days. It has been many years since I worked as an instructor! But I believe real passions keep always calling us back 😊 The lovely people running the new dive centre helped with that too.

So calling all 'old' dive academy friends or other dive friends around the world for some diving at Gran Canaria soon. I might join you 👌🏻

Also, fishlife has improved in my opinion. I really saw the improvement at Arguineguin reef boat dive, Tufia was beautifull and the atlantis dive is new for me, located next to the Mogan wrecks! Nice one too and attracting some nice marine life.

Happy bubbles from Gran Canaria where my journey started once 😁😁

Don't forget to pay a visit to Las Palmas during your holiday on Gran Canaria. Vegueta, the old part of town, is nice for some culture & history. There are nice tapasbars for lunch as well museums like the house of Columbus and Canary museum.

You can rent a bike and do all sights the environmental friendly way.

I played the tourist today 😁 Making the most out of my hospital check up day 😆 And becoming motivated again to do more writing about the Canary Islands again. Gran Canaria is my home away from living abroad since 15 years ❤ And I actually always forget to be in the 'travelblog mode' when I am here. Next time I make a You Tube video 😁

Colour on my plate 😁 Mashed potatoes, red cabba

Colour on my plate 😁 Mashed potatoes, red cabbage and spinach fingers 🍽 Did you know that on the Splashpacker website I also share information about healthy nutrition & Ayurveda? Just choose 'lifestyle' in the dropdown menu.

I always add some curcuma (turmeric) combined with black pepper to potatoe mash since it's good for fighting bacteria and viruses in your body, red cabbage is full of vitamines like vit. B, K, C plus minerals like calcium, magnesium and fosfor.

But - MOST IMPORTANT!!- if you eat spinach fingers instead of fish fingers, you don't support the big commercial fishing companies who are performing the CRIME of 'bycatch': killing LOADS of innocent fish including dolphins, turtles, sharks and much more, which is doing a huge damage to our coral reefs -> ocean -> eco systems -> planet earth -> life -> humans so eventually -> to us and themselves. Not to speak about the poor fish. If you don't know about this, you really should watch seaspiracy on netflix, or something similar. It is worse than cutting trees in the amazone, seriously, those acts are destroying the whole earth.

Stop supporting commercial fishing and bycatch!!!

So that is said 😅 Have a nice weekend!

Sambal bij? 🤣 Indonesian-Dutch cooking for lunch today. With the upcoming heatwave, I almost imagine myself back on Bali, LOL! But then I would eat Gado-Gado for sure 😉Can't wait for that!

But for now, Conimex, just because there is a Dutch supermarket and my aunty gave these too me. Yes even on Gran Canaria you can get Conimex 😁 (in the supermercado Holandés) Thank you aunty ❤❤
