Comments and Feedback
This is special event as the participants are all Chinese. We are hoping more divers will join us for the underwater clean up program. Everytimes after the marine debris at tokong burung dive site, we will stop at the beach for beach cleanup(this is where the marine debris trapped during the monsoon- washed up & trapped at the beach.
We are doing is everyday- everydive where meshbag are provided in all of our BCD pocket. To encourage divers to participate, we do offer Rm10= 1kg of marine debris collected underwater to be exchanged with the dives on every wednesday dives.
