On the 14th of May 2016 we organized the Project AWARE Event with Crest Dive in Cyprus.The event included a Dive against Debris where every diver was welcome to join.
The event was a great success and the participants were really happy with the result.
But you don´t need to organize a special event to Dive against Debris. Every Dive can become a Dive against Debris…
…What is a Dive against Debris?
Don’t let your dives go to waste! Grab your mesh bag, scuba gear and a data card. Take a giant stride and Dive Against Debris.
Scuba divers have cleaned debris from underwater environments for decades. But despite our best efforts, the trash from our daily lives keeps piling up. In response to the onslaught of marine debris, one of the biggest ocean issues of our time, Project AWARE launched Dive against Debris.
Created by divers for divers, this global, underwater survey of rubbish is designed to increase debris removal efforts, prevent harm to marine life and connect your underwater actions to policy changes and prevention.
