PHUKET: A total of 28 scuba diving instructors and Divemasters took part in a reef cleanup off Kata Beach today (Aug 22). The cleanup was held to remove small plastic items scattered throughout the north reef mainly attributed to the Westerly monsoon winds, explained David Hall, who joined the exercise.

 

“Whilst the beach itself is clean, the reef was covered in small marine debris, both plastic and organic. The organic debris will naturally degrade quickly, it’s the smaller items that can harm the marine environment,” he explained.

 

“Kata Beach is one of the best reef dives in Phuket, a common favourite of all,” he added.
