Comments and Feedback
N/A
Underwater in Brunei is remarkably clean, the dive site we surveyed is the only dive site in Brunei that was suitable and had debris which is a great thing to be able to say that our dive sites are very clean. Occasionally we have dive sites that have some fishing nets on but this is not very often at all. Apart from fishing nets it's very very very rare you will find any underwater debris. The major problem affecting us in Brunei is the amount of debris floating on the surface in the ocean that eventually washes up on all the beaches most of which is mainly plastic.
