July 29 was another day dedicated to our monthly dive against debris. We were joined by a couple of new patrons and as such it was a good day to make new dive friends. Shout out to Christine, Jayvee, Meg, Myrtle, Hilbert and Earl for supporting our cause!
Due to the typhoon hovering above the eastern seaboard of the country, water movement has been greatly affected which has contributed to a very bad visibility and likely contributed to the volume of debris we were able to collect as well. We managed to take out 16 lbs of debris comprised mainly of (surprise!) plastic. Sadly, we have collected a juvenile brokenline wrasse among the rolls of plastic fragments. You may access the full report submitted to Project Aware here. We will be stuffing the non-biodegradable spoils to plastic bottles as ecobricks again.
We would like to remind all patrons that each participation to our monthly dive against debris gets you a chance to earn a free certification. Please be guided accordingly by the promo duration below:
- May 2017 to April 2018 – at the mark of our second year of the activity, the patron with the most dedication to the Dive Against Debris program will be honored with a FREE Specialty Certification as an official Project Aware Dive Against Debris Specialty Diver.
