Comments and Feedback
Last Summer, There's more trash on the beach because of typhoon in Korea. So the Dive Company divers gathered for the Beach Cleanup! It's a little activity but we got a great deal of satisfaction. So We are planning another cleanup activity. Thank you 'AWARE Week'! Thank you 'PADI'!
