Like a giant meccano set it has slowly but surely materialized in to a marvel of engineering. Our new 12m X 12m Pontoon had been built on a wooden temporary scaffold and needed to be lowered so that it\u00a0could\u00a0be launched on the night of January 10th on the high tide. Allan came up with an ingenious way to remove the scaffold and lower the entire pontoon in preparation for the launch. Sand bags were positioned\u00a0 as temporary supports, allowing the scaffolding to be removed, then the sand was slowly released from the bags lowering the pontoon to the ground. It&#8217;s just like ancient Egypt!<\/p>\n<p>We are all thrilled with the new pontoon already. Because of it&#8217;s size, all of our boats can be tied up to it, which makes it easy to load up the boats with equipment and divers, even when the dive shop is very busy. No more waiting for a boat to leave to bring in another one! Check out the new ramp as well. It&#8217;s a very easy access from the pontoon to the pier.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_606\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.asiadivers.com\/cnt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/3ready-and-working1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-606\" class=\"size-full wp-image-606\" title=\"The new pontoon at the El Galleon beach resort in Puerto Galera.\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.asiadivers.com\/cnt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/3ready-and-working1.jpg\" alt=\"Pontoon at the El Galleon beach resort in Puerto Galera\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-606\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">All ready and in position for dive boats.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; For some weeks now we have been witness to the construction of our new pontoon, which has been taking shape on the rocky shore next to Asia Divers.
