Marine Environment Conservation
|
The Smiling Seahorse is committed to Ocean preservation and conservation since its inception in 2012 or even before.
As our ocean is more and more under pressure, we feel like we should be an ocean ambassador. We hope to educate the public and our dear guests about best diving practices to limit our impact on the environment. As diving becomes more and more popular around the world, limiting out impact on our beautiful reef is becoming even more important.
