The first ever property of the Waldorf Astoria in the Asia Pacific could be found nowhere else, but in the Maldives
Effective since March 1st, 2010, The Beach House Maldives was renamed “The Beach House Maldives, The Waldorf Astoria Collection”. The Beach House Maldives has affiliated with legendary Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts. And in celebration to the newly upgraded resort’s debut, guests from different parts of the world were invited to join its inauguration ceremony and became part in a chapter of the resort’s exclusive history.
Located in the refined, lagoon-surrounded Haa Alifu Atoll, the 35-acre resort features 83 Maldivian-style villas, 3 world-class restaurants, 4 bars, and a luxurious spa. And each villa comes with a private pool and butler.
Since July 1, 2009, the Hilton Worldwide Management Team has been in the Maldives, working on key developments as part of the US$ 58 million renovation project – which had gloriously led to the Beach House Maldives in becoming the first Waldorf Astoria property in the Asia Pacific.
“An independently branded hotel since 2007, The Beach House Maldives has built a solid reputation for world-class luxury and quality that epitomises the Waldorf Astoria name,” said Martin Rinck, President of The Hilton Worldwide – Asia Pacific. “The Maldives remains one of the most sought-after luxury leisure destinations in the world, and we are delighted to be able to offer our guests the unique experience of Waldorf Astoria Hotels and Resorts on the beautifully private and breathtaking island of Manafaru”.

Wetsuits – Choosing the Right Fit for You
The success in advancing your scuba diving abilities are affected by many factors. Diving takes lots and lots of practice as well as knowledge of the sport. This should be your first priority. If you’re really serious about diving, next on the list would be to invest in good scuba gear or equipment. Aside from your breathing apparatus, wetsuits are another important investment of equal importance.
Choose the Right Wetsuit
Choose a Wetsuit by Water Temperature
In choosing the right wetsuit for you, there are a number of factors to consider. It would be practical to first determine where you’ll be diving as different locations embody varying water temperatures. A piece of clothing as unique as the scuba wetsuit is exclusively designed to endure diverse conditions one may encounter during diving activities. Wetsuits come with either short legs and sleeves, or long legs and sleeves. Thickness of the suit is a crucial factor in picking the right suit for a particular dive spot. These articles of clothing are often sold in 3mm and 6mm specifications which are ideal for usual dives. If diving in waters above 85 degrees, an optimal choice would be a short leg and sleeved wetsuit with a thickness of 2mm, whereas a long suit with a thickness of 6-7mm is ideal for waters with a temperature of about 60-70 degrees.
Wetsuit Thickness and Length
Guidelines in thickness and length of wetsuits are great indicators for choosing the most comfortable suit for you. Some divers are also particular with the type of stitching in his/her wetsuit. Although in some cases, selecting the proper suit also depends on your body’s tolerance temperature change. If you’re unsure on the specifications of the suit that you need to purchase, it may be wise to try a friend’s wetsuit before making your decision. Also, be sure to look for the right size because a loose part on the underarms or in between the legs will make you uncomfortable during a diving activity.
Another option you’d encounter in purchasing a wetsuit is the type of neoprene it’s made up of. A number of choices are available on the market differing in price and quality. An example of such is the chemical blown wetsuit which has a soft and light feel, and much less expensive than the durable and stronger gas blown wetsuit. If you feel like really spending, you can get the Titanium suit which claims to keep the diver warm by preventing heat from entering the body.
Choosing the right suit for you really depends on comfort and intent of use. A professional diver might want to invest more on his wetsuit or may also prefer to use cheaper ones. The bottom line is it really depends on the diver’s personal choice. Just keep in mind that there are factors to be considered when making that decision.

Vabbinfaru, Maldives – After years of scientific research, scientists watched astoundingly under the full moon as they witnessed reproducing corals eject pink-orange eggs and copious amounts of sperm, which confirms that the Maldives’ endangered reefs are on its way to regeneration.
“That was the first time in the history of the Maldives that we had discovered coral spawning! It went into our hearts.”, stated by marine biologist, Azeez Hakim, who was one of the watchers that evening. Twelve years ago, a spike in the water temperature, brought about by the El Nino phenomenon, had nearly killed 2/3 of the Maldives coral reefs. Those scientists had blessed the Maldives with a great gift, it was like saving the island from an upcoming economic downfall.
“If the reef is gone, we are gone”, stated by Hakim.
The researchers have found a way to regenerate those coral reefs by using cone-shaped steel frames which served as nurseries for the corals, passing small electric currents through the metal to form limestones, on which the corals could grow after they had produced their eggs and sperm.
The coral reefs play a very important role in the economy of the Maldives. Aside from its beaches and turquoise waters, those reefs lure the tourists as they exhibit pure, natural, underwater beauty, which is basically the main attraction in scuba diving. The corals also serve as building materials for Maldivian homes. And without the coral reefs, coastal erosion could ravage 1,200 islands lying low in the ocean.
“Before 1998, we never thought that this reef would die. We had always taken for granted that these animals would be there, that this reef would be there forever. El Nino gave us a wake-up call that these thing are not going to be there forever.”, Hakim said.
Today, the world is going through another El Nino crisis, and coral regeneration would play a big part in the marine life and the lives of the Maldivian people.
