WRECK DIVING ON TIOMAN - KM SIPADAN
The decommissioned Royal Navy warship KM Sipadan was sunk on 29th March 2012 to become an artificial reef. It lies at a depth of 30m right next to the Sawadee Wrecks, a mere 5 minute boat ride from our ABC dive centre. The 31m long and 4.5m wide ship has already become one of the major attractions on Tioman and has attracted an abundance of marine life. There's so much fish, you have sometimes a hard time to see the wreck!

B&J GOES 100% PROJECT AWARE!
B&J has always put the protection of the oceans at the heart of our business. We have become 100% AWARE in 2012, which means that we donate some 10AUD to Project AWARE for every single student we certify. The student will automatically receive a Project AWARE certification card and our donation will help to conserve and save our precious marine environment.
Examples of Project AWARE's efforts are the protection of the world's most threatened shark species, to strengthen shark finning bans around the globe, to support dive centres in installing mooring buoys to prevent anchoring on reefs and to hold Project AWARE Conservation events.
For 2014 we're using the funds to install a very sophisticated mooring system called Marine Anchoring. This system will allow us to place environmentally safe and long lasting moorings on several dive sites to prevent anchoring. The installation
will likely be implemented in late September/early October and we'll keep you informed via our Facebook page.
PADI GREEN STAR AWARD
Next to the Non Profit Organization (NGO) Project AWARE, PADI has also initiated the Green Star Award. This is an award given to dive centres who reach a certain number of points in different areas such as environmental education, energy usage, recycling and waste management, conservation events and more. B&J is proud to be the first Green Star Award Dive Centre on Tioman Island.
EXTINCTION IS NOT AN OPTION!
2013 promises to be one of the most aggressive yet for shark and manta ray conservation as we enter the final stages of Project AWARE's CITES campaign. Extinction of sharks is NOT an option so please help us to sign the Shark Petition by clicking on the image below.
