An international diving festival was held in Lingshui early this month. The festival hosted diving enthusiasts from China and beyond, who together explored the deep cool blue waters of majestic Boundary Island.

  
 
The aim of the two-day festival was to showcase Lingshui’s abundant diving resources, encourage coral reef protection, and develop environmentally responsible diving practices in Hainan so that divers will be able to enjoy the beauty of Hainan’s oceans for generations to come.

There were several interesting events at the Lingshui Diving Festival, including a diving photo exhibition, a diving photo competition, and a diving treasure hunt.

 
 
 
 

Some 30 divers had the chance to visit unspoiled reefs around the waters of Boundary Island, where they might not have previously dived. While many participants were drawn to the area for its unique aquatic experience, they also received valuable insights into how to help preserving the regional rich coral reef ecosystem.
