A fond farewell to Bjorn & Caroline

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 09:30:23 +0000

After two years of doing a great job for Eco Divers at Tasik Ria Resort, Bjorn Ramault and Caroline Gerresch have decided to return to Belgium in order to bring up their young son, Moé.

Everyone at Eco Divers is sad to see them leave. Not only will we miss their professional work but also their personal friendship. We thank them for the great job they did during their time with us and we wish them the best of success in their new life.

For the time being, Cary & Jim Yanny will take over the management of Eco Divers at Tasik Ria Resort. For our French-speaking clients, we’re happy to still provide a French language service through our Swiss Dive Manager at Kima Bajo Resort & Spa, Mr. Luca Vaime.

But all connections are not lost as Caroline will continue to write Eco Divers' French newsletter and to develop our new French website from her home office in Belgium.
