tourists action


Our lake is very popular for summer season. There are two big tourist bases around, one is at the lake directly and one cross the road. So every year thousands people visit this lake for the rest, swimming and diving, including children (one base have a children camp). Also people coming to other side of the lake alone with tents and can stay there during weekend. They are the biggest trouble makes course they use wild area and throw rubish everywhere. And every year we make a clean up day at the beginning of the season, normally it's end of May or first weekend of June. We make 1-2 more clean up during the season. It last for 10 years. So we decided to put our lake in an action Adopt Dive Site and started from this year make reports every month. Next clean up will be 20/07/19.

We want to say thank to all our divers and non divers. In our action we invited other dive-centers - 6 together, plus freedivers and underwater hunters. We also had a big team with non-divers who helped us on the surface and clean the area around the lake.
