Crystal Dive, newly crowned with its Environmental Achievement Award for 2010 has continued its fantastic work teaming with strategic partner Eco Koh Tao to ensure that all staff members are ‘Reef Checked Up’ coming into the start of our summer season.
Crystal Dive staff members divemaster Ali Humphrey and MSDT Guy Bannister joined recent IDC graduate Tom Lansford for Koh Tao’s latest Reef Check course conducted in Mae Haad. |
\In perfect weather the group, led by IDCS Nathan Cook spent a morning and an afternoon in the classroom over two days learning the finer points of reef ecology before tackling a full Reef Check Survey under their Worldwide Eco-monitoring Program.
Survey data is submitted online to Reef Check International (www.reefcheck.org) and data is also provided to Marine Conservation Koh Tao’s Ecological Monitoring Program.
Special thanks to Instructors Simon and Jenny Dowling for their assistance during the final days survey. Your help is always appreciated |
