After the tsunami The Adventure Club was the obvious choice to set up the headquarters for the relief effort by the Phi Phi Dive Camp.
This was a privately organized volunteer based group that worked hard and long to remove the debris from the ocean and beaches. In total over 300 tons of debris was removed thanks to the unselfish support of over 4000 volunteers. The work took nearly a year.
Presently, things have moved on to the next stage: promoting education and sustainable activites on and around coral reefs.
In 2006 the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources officially commissioned Andrew Hewett as a government volunteer in charge of monitoring and collecting data for the Phi Phi Island artificial reef and coral nursery projects.
