BREAKING: Dive operator accuses Silversea of reef damage
Tim Yeo, a scuba diving operator and General Manager & COO at Bluewater Travel, has accused Silversea of damaging the reef at Alor, Indonesia stating in a Facebook post.
“A few days ago, the luxury expedition cruise ship Silver Cloud (owned by Royal Caribbean Group) brought its guests to snorkel here. What should have been a magical experience turned into an absolute environmental tragedy.”
Yeo goes on to allege: “Silver Cloud launched 13 Zodiacs, and instead of drifting or tying to a mooring like all local boats do, each Zodiac dropped THREE anchors directly onto the reef.”
