March 2009 – GSSC Klub’s trip to Mabul Island and Sipadan Island provided a fabulous opportunity for
GSSC KL staff to get close to marine life. During the trip, 27 staff were certified as PADI
Open Water Divers. The others snorkeled in the clear waters teeming with underwater
marine life.
Marine Park personnel also shared with GSSC KLub members issues threatening the
marine environment, such as unsustainable development, destructive fishing and
irresponsible diving behaviour. The crucial need to protect our natural heritage was
highlighted. To contribute to the Marine Park’s conservation efforts, each KLub member
donated RM40 to the Fund.
