Additional Information
the pontoons on this dive site host about 1000 tourists every day, many of them also snorkel. The companies that host the visits to the pontoons try to keep the site as clean as possible but some debris is inevitable
Blackberry battery and completely intact long drink glass
plastic bottles, get dumped a lot on the island and are washed to the sea
straps and lines used by fishing boats
snorkel equipment, we found several mouth pieces probably lost by tourists
Comments and Feedback
We organised this clean up dive with the Divemaster Candidates of Scuba Center Asia as part of our training but also to give back to the environment we enjoy every day while diving
