In June 2006, the owners and management of Odyssea Divers who were then operating out of another resort in Wori Bay, Kima Bajo Village
Manado, decided that our guests could be better served if we operated out of our own resort. The concept of Cocotinos, a boutique dive
resort, was mooted and design work began immediately. At the same time, land on the beach front in the fishing village of Kima Bajo was
acquired and the villagers on the beach were resettled within the village in new brick houses built by us. Many of the villagers were living in
wooden and bamboo houses on the beach which were subject to severe weather annually. A total of 12 families were relocated and a
beach front of 132-meters became available for construction which started on the 17th of March 2007. After a brief and intense
construction period of 6 months, Cocotinos was opened to welcome guests on the 10th of Oct 2007 with 10 rooms completed and
operational. The finishing work continued and the resort was finally completed in March of 2008. An additional 4 water's Edge Rooms were
subsequently built on the beach-front land adjacent to the original plot, and in April 2010, these 4 Rooms became operational, bringing the
total number of room keys to 22.
