Langkawi Dive Center in Langkawi, invites all divers and activists in the dive industry to help

We at Langkawi Divers, feel that this is a very important issue that needs all of the dive industries attention, not only to preserve our delicate eco system that is at constant risk from pollution, boat anchorage, line fishing and irresponsible diving practices, but also to the dive industry as a whole, because after all, if the reefs are damaged and the beauty has gone then so are our customers, and our businesses. Not to mention the impact on the environment and what we will be leaving behind for our children.

Therefore, Langkawi Divers asks for your help in our efforts to keep your reefs clean. To make the events as attractive as possible to all our prospective dive participants, we have asked local retailers to help by donating small goods from their operations so we can give the divers who collect the most rubbish from the dive, a small reward every month.

Langkawi Divers will advertise the clean ups on Divessi.com and Langkawi Divers web pages, our blogs and facebook.com by posting banners in the participating retail outlets. Langkawi Dive Guides will accompany the participants to ensure their safety, the tanks, weights and equipment needed and the boats for the participants to get to the dive sites will be offered at a Special ECO Diver Rate Each dive participant will be charged a Rm90.00 fee per Dive for the weekend.

The balance will then go towards reef and marine ecology projects such as putting in an artificial reef , mooring Lines in the surrounding area and help support the local reef watch group ‘Reef Check’.

Please check our schedule for the implementation of reef cleaning in dive sites activities. :
