Similan Diving safaris efforts to help protect the ocean!

Similan Diving Safaris are no stranger to seeing the harmful impacts that ghosts nets (abandoned nets) leave on marine wildlife.  Just last year in October on a liveaboard trip to the Similan Islands, divers removed an 80  metre net which had been discarded. Unfortunately during the first liveaboard trip in October this year, another abandoned net was discovered. Covering around 25 metres, divers were able to quickly free the net from the corals suffocating underneath.
