PADI Eco clean Ups Asia Scuba Diving

One of the highights and fun times of the year every year was out twice yearly clean ups in the first years that I owned EcoSea we organised the first beach cleans in Cambodia and then after those events were taken over by the community we did more reef clean ups.. The highlight for me was when found a cat shark that was trapped in a phantom net which unfortunatly Cambodia has a lot of in the water and we were able to set it frree and the little fella swam off.

If you get the chance to participate I highly recomend it to every one and many times it is a cheap dive day with a purpose.





There's only 4 weeks to go until International Cleanup Day – register online now!
As a Go ECO Operator you will understand the importance of data collection and raising awareness about marine debris.
The data you collect is included in the Global Marine Debris Index. Project AWARE’s data collection efforts are recognized by the United Nations but a continued drive for strong consistent data is the key to help inform, reform, educate and legislate.
Your support is needed to ensure our region is represented so register today.
Too busy to coordinate a cleanup this year? We understand it may be difficult to be involved every year, so if you would like to make a gift to support underwater conservation all funds help safeguard irreplaceable underwater environments for future generations.
You can either join the Fundraising Challenge or make a donation. A gift of $30 can go towards the cost of funding critical cleanups. $100 can contribute to important advocacy to enforce protection of threatened species.
Thanks to the efforts of key fundraisers and Go ECO Operators in 2008 Project AWARE raised an amazing $13,949 for underwater conservation. THANK YOU.
Now is the time to join the exciting cleanup challenge, raise funds and have fun, fun, fun. To make sure you receive your free cleanup bags or shark mask straps complete the Fundraising Challenge pledge today.

Laos Cheap Hotels & Guesthouses Deals

I spent alot of time in Asia and I am surprised that it took so long but I have finally made it to Laos and I wish that I had come here sooner. Laos is very laid back and very friendly just like I have been told. I was also told that the guesthouses & hotels were not good deals which I am finding is not true perhaps it is becuase we are here int he Shiney season but the cheap hotels that we have been staying at have been some of the best deaalso so far that we have found for budget accommodations & Cheap hotels in Asia almost as good of deals as we have gotten in Bali Cheap Hotels.
