Comments and Feedback
I did many times beach cleaning and under water cleaning with my instuctor friends, and customers who go diving with me. I hope there is regular cleaning event that everyone can join to clean ocean
there are many long tails boat at kata beach, all diver have to be careful about it. they can pass above you anytime. always use SMB is better
