Beach and reef clean ups during high season at Oceans 5 dive resort Gili Air

Leave a reply

It were busy times the last few week at the Gili Islands. So didnt had time to write about the weekly beach and reef clean ups at Oceans 5 dive resort.

But even during the high season there were beach and reef clean ups. The result is there! The reef in front of Oceans 5 dive resort has a lot of nice creatures. Yesterday we saw during a divemaster trainee workshop 2 times a wonderpus totally free. But if you like seahorses, pipefish, gurnets, all kind of lionfish, some nudis or flatworms, the Oceans 5 house reef is a great one to dive.

Oceans 5 like to thank Peter and Daniel who organised all the clean up during high season. But we dont want to forget all the people who joined and helped us to get a better and cleaner reef! Thank You!!!!

The Gili Islands are famous for their turtles. All around the 3 little islands on the north side of lombok you will find them. It doesnt matter if you snorkel or dive the turtles are always around.

The most common turtles around the Gili Islands are the Hawksbill and Green Turtle , but there are also Olive Ridleys.

Oceans 5 dive resort is taking care of 50 little Hawksbill turtles and 1 big Olive Ridley turtle. Twice a day they are getting food and new seawater. The little ones are growing fast and the big one is still recovering of an injury.

But yesterday Oceans 5 dive resort released a few turtles. they were released close to the oceans, and a few minutes later they found the water.

Hopefully we see them later duing some dives… Happy travels little ones….

Weekly beach and reef clean up Gili Air, Gili Islands, Lombok

Leave a reply

Yesterday 12 people joined the beach and reef clean up in the front of Oceans 5 dive resort, Gili air, Gili islands.

After sorting out all the equipment there was a briefing about the dive site, max dive time, max depth, what kind of rubbish we should take, how to take out the rubbish and be aware that some rubbish is already new living for someone…

Before the buddy teams were formed everyone has got some gloves and a bag.

After one hour of diving the result was 10 bag full of rubbish, all kind of things.

Dont think that the divers didnt see anything else than plastic, thats not true. Seahorses, pipefish, mimic octopus etc were all around during the clean up.
