Coral Reef and Beach Cleanup Pattaya, Thailand

Reef Clean Up with a smile:)As you know by now Mermaids Dive Center Pattaya, Thailand holds monthly Coral Reef and Beach cleanups. Being a Go-Eco dive center we must be aware of our impact on the local coral reef system and environment. Project AWARE status gets us out and cleaning the local environment on a regular basis.

A good reef and beach clean-up can be good fun also and a great opportunity to hone dive skills and even search and recovery search patterns. The use of a lift bag, rigging and team work is all part of the process.

The deed of doing something good to make our immediate underwater environment a better place is a good feeling. Every little helps.

Many thanks to: Alan Moorhouse, Noa Ching, Ben Bee, Jon Burnett, Alexandrina Hajigeorgieva, Wayne McKelvey, Neil Beevers, Alberto Masala, Josh Reedy, Stefan Haslam, Jennifer Manuel, Mike Clark, Szabolls Veres-Borlsa, Darius Breed, Shurain Sachirthananthan, Nigel Coles, Jorge Chezses, Claire Keany, Jennifer Chapman, Simon Dixon, Luke Davis, Laurie Soda, Jim Soda, Sue Horwood, and James Curtis on a superb beach and reef clean-up job done!
