For Christmas this year, Silvia and Maggie will be hosting a treasure hunt for all our guests who will be staying with us on christmas day. Neptune has chipped in and hide many gifts underwater in Wori bay so that every diver will get a gift. The catch is you need to look for it diving. Gifts such as Cocotinos Diving Holidays, Diving Masks, Souvenirs, Apparels, etc will be underwater for our guests to find. After the dives, we end the treasure hunting with the good ol'fashion divers party at the bar and restaurant hosted by Cocotinos.
