Divemaster course Gili Islands in Indonesia with Oceans 5 Gili Air

Oceans 5 is protecting the reefs. Every week Oceans 5 dive resort organizes a free reef clean up in the harbor of Gili Air, Indonesia. A lot of people are asking us, why is our dive shop doing this and why is it so important to make awareness about the coral? So why are coral reefs so important? Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth.

Many drugs are now being developed from coral reef animals and plants as possible cures for cancer, arthritis, human bacterial infections, viruses, and other diseases. Storehouses of immense biological wealth,...
