KOTA KINABALU: Local divers have reported hearing blasts underwater around Mantanani Island in Kota Belud district, which they believe to be from fish bombs.
"We heard several loud fish bombs going off while we were still underwater. That was a terrifying experience as we know that the fish bombs could have killed us if we were closer to the blast," said Universiti Malaysia Sabah Marine Science student Shamil Arif.
"We've reported this matter and I am sure that people from the authorities who are also in the group are currently investigating," he said. She said they discovered ghost nets caught on coral reefs throughout the duration of their dive activities this month.
