We have our very own little Turtle Pond built right next to the dive shop which is home to nine beautiful,3 months old Hawksbill turtles.They were introduced to the pond in late October when they were only 1 week old.Hawksbill turtle is one of the critically endangered species.They can grow up to a maximum of 1 metre,weighing up to 80 kg.For feeding,they use their pointed beak to catch invertebrates from the coral crevices and they are mostly found near rocky and coral reefs in the Tropics. 
29.01.2010 - Coral Planting
The Mamanuca Environment Society(MES) assisted Mana with the coral planting project that commenced in December 2008. The Dive Team set out to transplant the corals that have been placed in the bay on a metal framed table with a mesh wire top, to re-plant the ares of the reefs that were dead. The coral tips were cut off and then placed in hydraulic cement which acted as a base for the corals to grow. This is kept on the table for 6 months and monitered before it is transplanted. Soon after the corals were planted on the reef, schools of fish were seen swimming in the area. Mana hopes this new project will help generate life back on the coral reefs that have been adversely affected by crown-of-thorns infestations, sedimentations and damages by humans such as breakage and trampling.
