kiyaks and boats and long time suporter of reefballs, has offered to donate
10% of all sales to the Reef Ball Foudation through april 30, 2003 if you

without getting wet! Their website is www.drydiver.com where you will find
nice pictures of the boats.

3) 20 Bay balls were ordered by Marine Parks for their experimental marine
resources enhancement project in Pulau Payar Marine park (Malaysia). The
balls are targeted to be deployed in 2 groups of 10 in 2 rows of 5-a-side in
8 metres and 12 metres depth respectively. The site is located 150 metres in
front of Parks HQ in Payar. This ensures easy access and frequent
monitoring.  You can find pictures and more information at

vessel is currently in the Adriatic sea.
