Typically, Borneo experiences rainstorms that are more frequent during the so-called ‘wet’ season, and it’s the strong winds that cause pollutants (that are incorrectly disposed of) to enter the marine ecosystem, leading to adverse effects.

For our dedicated team of PADI professionals, environmental health in the local area is constantly protected and during this years’ summer the seasonal heavy rainstorms have shown our adventure groups of school students from the UK how damaging marine debris is to our natural paradise.

More than 330 students visited our premier PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre on Gaya Island located in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park. Camping at our beach house whilst participating in the various island activities we conduct, the adventurers’ were lucky to acquire a unique education of the tropical environment.

Before their departure, a beach clean project is organized and their newfound knowledge of the natural world is so valuable to enhance the physical contribution they offer. Their practical experience provides a further understanding of the damaging consequences, to the delicate ecosystem of the seas and oceans, caused by marine debris.

We frequently arrange groups, both small and large, for adventure training and team-building with the added benefits of a unique learning experience on conservation and the natural world through exciting activities found in Sabah, Borneo!
