Probably an indelible mark on a live coral by a harebrained diver. ADVERTISEMENTDiving groups and marine conservationists were enraged after they found two live corals vandalized in a marine sanctuary in Bauan town in Batangas province. Diver Vince Tenchavez, 34, said his group, Scuba Hobby and Recreation Company of Divers, was at the private Bauan Divers Sanctuary Resort for the cleanup activity. “Can’t believe a scuba diver has that low of an EQ (emotional quotient) and an absence of concern for marine life,” he said. Marine conservationist and diver Romeo Trono blamed local governments for their “laxity” in enforcing laws and protecting marine ecosystems.
