Bio Rocks Rock!

An amazingly innovative and successful project came to the Gili islands in 2005 when island eco warrior Delphine Robb set up the Bio ROck project with the help of local fishermen and a large number of dive shops on the island. Now the second largest in the world, the Bio Rock project is successfully helping to regenerate damaged coral and deteriorating numbers of marine species. Here we look at how they work and how much of a success they have been for the islands.

Animal of the month - Cow Fish

This month we take a look at the cutey that it the cowfish. These guys are fun to look at and watch and are such slow swimmers that they can easily be caught by hand. (Please do not do this though fellow divers!) You'll get a telling off if you do by the cowfish itself!

Plastic's not fantastic!

Plastic in our oceans is a growing problem. This blog only scratches the surface on what is happening in our beautiful seas, but will make you think about how you dispose of you rubbish, especially plastics. Divers can play a major part in helping to dilute this problem. By grabbing any rubbish we see on every dive we go on we can slowly but surely contribute to cleaner oceans!
