Diving Against Debris in Swanage

It was a rainy and cloudy morning on 5th September 2011. It was also an early 7am start on the 'day of rest' a Sunday! We packed up our car with diving gear and headed for the Jurassic Coastal town of Swanage, hoping that the sun would come out to play!

Our divers had a great day on Saturday at our annual Underwater Clean Up at Petone Wharf, Wellington, NZ. The sun was shining and the water was still in double figures - only just at 10 degrees! One of my Dive Master trainees helped to organise the event & briefed the 15 divers and 6 other volunteers who attended the event.

Lead= 200lbs, Fishing line= 30lbs, Glass bottles= 32. Protecting Our Ocean Planet- One Dive at a Time: Priceless.

As the weather cleared up on a casual Sunday evening, August 21, fourteen strangers gathered to share an experience which unknowingly created a sense of purpose in the world, and bonds that would last forever. The busy dive shop provided a place to meet, the ocean provided the site, the divers provided the passion to protect it.

We're in The Sunday Times (of Malta)

We were delighted to receive joint 3rd in the recent Global Scavenger Hunt and so I started badgering all the English newspapers in Malta in the hope that someone would realise the importance of this award. Our friends at Gozo News published the article (as they always do) but then there was silence.

Dive Against Debris # 8 & 9 "Old Navy Day" on the Lake "Glubokoe" ("Deep")

Weekends have passed. It was the cheerful holiday. The big company of the friends, interesting dives, cheerful competitions.

As usual unexpected finds... This time we have found a parachute. Thank God that without the parachutist. The lake has appeared pure enough. Therefore competition on garbage gathering was won by a command "Surfacers". We are glad that could to collect a little more garbage. "Old Navy Day has gone right! MORE

July - Monthly Cleanup Collects Big

Waiting at the pier for some friends to arrive on Koh Tao last week, I noticed an overwhelming amount of garbage under and around the beach where most visitors arrive and depart from our little island. It doesn’t seem right that the first thing they experience is the filth of the main pier so we decided to start our monthly clean up there.
