Comments and Feedback
Ban's Diving Resort participated in the annual Earth Day "Dive Against Debris" program today by offering free dives this afternoon to all participants willing to pick up debris and help clean up the ocean floor. We visited two different sites, Lighthouse and Green Rock. There were a total of 54 volunteers on board today, and at the end of the day, we had collected over 5 large trash bags full of trash & debris, and a large crate filled with fishing line, ropes, cables and metal strips.. Thanks to all who took time out of their day to come and help out Ban's to clean up our planet!!! (a practice we all should do daily).
