Dive In To Earth Day 2008

Dates: April 19-22 (Sat-Tues)
Location: Pulau Tioman

The Marine SIG is having a special programme in conjunction with Dive In To Earth Day, culminating on 22 April, which is Earth Day itself. We will be having three simultaneous programmes over four days – a dive trip, an open water course and Kelab Pencinta Alam (KPA) activities for Tekek schoolchildren.

Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 to promote the ideas of ecology, encourage respect for life on Earth, and highlight growing concern over pollution. It is now celebrated in some 140 nations annually.
