Pulau Payar? Oh, just lots of rubbish. Sipadan? A barge grounded itself in a storm. According to Borneo Divers, only a small patch. Tak sampai satu hoon pun compared with the whole of Sipadan. Nothing to worry about. Kalau tak ada sangat coral, buat aje macam kat dalam Aquaria. Guna LaFarge punya cement.

a friendly reminder to me and all of the divers...

let us be reminded that the coral of the islands along our peninsula is under threat. so i would remind to those who are interested in getting scuba diving license and to those who already have one to be extra carefull when u go diving. please do not smash the corals with your fins. most coral takes about 1 year just to grow a few cm. i've seen lotsa catasthrophic underwater sites caused by irresponsible divers. fin blade's cutting mark on the goniopora sp (brain coral) and acropora sp and porites sp and the other species. it is sad to see how all this lovely corals destroyed in such time while it take them years to grow. with all other bleaching contributors (such suntan lotion, fish feeding and others), the corals are dying each day.


each year, there will be volunteering efforts to clean up the beaches and also the COT and sea urchins. but these efforts is just a part of what we can contribute in conserving the corals. lets it start with us as an individual and then work together as a community.

save the corals...

 :D

What do you think of the events? Anything that you manage to learn from it .... I have never been involved with beach & underwater clean-up.

There must be a better way to look after the corals, keeping the beach & underwater clean..... how about educating the public & school's by having interactive road shows  :) ... can it work?

 ;D

I would look into the direction of educating the general public & divers.

Time to wear the think hat & ponders on the best method to do the work cheap & cheerful ways.

Prevention is better then cure ... cant keep on cleaning the beach & underwater every year.

Maybe have a mid term plan ...ie 5-10 yrs & who knows it might pay off if the new generation of future divers can learn something from what been happening in the past & present.

Might even save the coral & even marine life if is taught correctly.... Minimum Impact

I'm not really a conservationist myself..but I do believe that coral will only sustain and flourish if people don't exploit the beautiful nature that we have and don't start eco-devastating projects..

Fraser Hill's waterfall was one that I seen destroyed due to human greed...

Haha! I don't have to go so far to Fraser's Hills. Yesterday I was out having lunch with a fellow diver and I lamented on how I used to put on a sweater everytime I go to school back in the 1970s and that you could see mist covering KL then..and in the mid-80s, mist still covered Bukit Jalil and Kinrara.

Now you only get smog.

A bit heavy on the breathing. Buy one of Snafu's 2 or 3 rebreathers and you'll have at least 6 hours of continuous smog-free breathing
