The environment in south west Thailand was the winner in late September when a very energetic group of around 200 scuba divers set out aboard 8 boats and effectively returned with more than 1000kg of trash from Phuket dive sites.
Robert Scammell (PADI Instructor Examiner) and Andy Auer (PADI Regional Manager, Thailand,) were joined by an enthusiastic crowd of PADI Divers and PADI Professionals who all worked together throughout the day to achieve this fantastic result.
In conjunction with Project AWARE’s Dive Against Debris – Month of Action, the initiative was a combined effort by local PADI Dive Shops and other industry stakeholders who generously donated their dive boats for the day.
PADI would like to extend hearty congratulations and a huge ‘Thank You’ to all the participants of the Phuket Underwater Clean Up.
