‘As one of only two reef operators to have been awarded an Advanced ECO Accreditation at the inception of the certification program back in 1998, Wavelength Managing Director, Steve Simpson, was all smiles when he received the official thumbs up for a renewal of Wavelength's certification. Renewal of the certification came after a gruelling operational review conducted by Ecotourism Australia, "As a reef operator we have always been at the forefront of environmental concerns so I was fairly confident we would meet the criteria, however the standards are now much higher than they were when we first went through the process in '98". Steve went on to congratulate Eco-Tourism Australia on the tougher stance and looks forward to future reviews on a yearly basis.

No we're not talking the traditional English silly season that encompasses Royal Ascot, Henley Royal Regatta and copious amounts of Pimms! This is the time of year we grab a damp towel and a mouldy pair of togs and make the most of the Wavelength 'freebies'….opps, I mean 'famils' that are on offer. Over the next month will be inviting you to join other small groups of local agents to join us on Wavelength for a series of hosted famils. Each day we'll be monitoring the weather and picking the best days possible. If you have never been on Wavelength then you are in for a very rare reef experience. If you have been out with us before, then you'd know it's worth another day out. So come and get a little silly with us and at the same time boost your product knowledge for the coming season.

Being a very unique reef operator, it stands to reason that when it comes to recruiting new crew members we'd be looking for people equally unique. We are currently seeking a qualified Marine Biologist to join our crew. The successful applicant will be a confident and motivated self-starter and used to working in a team environment. He or she must be keen to take ownership of the key customer service, educational, research and deck tasks that are critical to the Marine Biologist/Deckhand role on Wavelength.

Thanks to increased online bookings and a group of very supportive local agents, Wavelength has recorded an increase in the number of people choosing to travel with Wavelength in January 2006 compared to January 2005. Talks with some key local tour sales agents indicates that this trend may be due to travellers seeking tours with small numbers. A recent customer survey would  bear this out. The top three reasons people chose Wavelength are: 1) Small numbers, 2) Services dedicated to Snorkellers and 3) Diversity and quality of sites available. Thanks again to all those who continue to support operators that are offering a point of difference.
