A few weeks back, I did a post called “Dive For Earth Day”. This was an event organized by Borneo Dream in support of Project AWARE. Project AWARE is about getting divers and people aware about the importance and responsibility of preserving the aquatic environment and its resources.
Dive For Earth Day
Dive For Earth Day was a series of dives organized by Borneo Dream, a dive operator in Kota Kinabalu, with the support of Sabah Parks. Its objective was to clean up the two reefs in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park. Judging by the response, this was a successful event. Well done to Borneo Dream and all the participants who helped clean up our reefs around Kota Kinabalu.
