ILOILO CITY: A group of divers has partnered with various stakeholders in Iloilo and Antique as it embarked on a six-month underwater cleanup in Antique’s Nogas Island, a favorite diving spot in Anini-y town.

“We looked forward to have cleaner reef for Nogas Island and control the over population of the crown of thorns that preys on corals,” Karlo Agao, a dive instructor of the Basecamp Divers Iloilo, said on Monday.
