On Friday 8th June 2007
SSI Thailand was delighted to see over 60 people from our partner dive schools Big Blue, Simple Life and Scuba Junction,actively take part in clearing both Sairee beach and Sairee dive sites.Master Scuba divers in Mae Haad had a successful clean up the week before covering Mae Haad beach by the Harbour.
On Friday one team spent the day taking advantage of a seasonal low tide to collect any plastics that had embedded in the shore line,taking care not to lift any coral encrusted bottles that may of become ad-hoc homes for the local marine life.
Another team complete with Kayak surface cover combed the local dive site to collect discarded rubbish.Amongst the more unusual finds were a toilet and a fuel tank!!!.
Most rubbish collected consisted of plastics that had drifted in shore from the ocean.
SSI Thailand would like to mention Darren Buckland SSI AOWI instructor who took the initiative to organise the clean up and done a great job at motivating everyone to get stuck in.
Well done to all involved from the team at SSI Thailand.
