Open to participants from across the Maldives, the event will include divers from islands and resorts within the atoll. The initiative seeks to raise awareness about environmental conservation while promoting Baa Atoll as a tourist destination.
Baa Atoll Council has described the event as the largest of its kind to be organised in the atoll. The council also intends to collaborate with the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve as a partner in the activity.
