Read the Dive Against Debris Survey Guide prior to event, sign in at table, turn in completed liability release, attend dive briefing, dive in buddy teams, collect underwater debris, photograph and document trapped animals, participate in sorting, weighing and data recording, stay for anything you can roast on a stick and sodas. Bring your own favorite item that can be roasted on a stick.
Because right now there are animals like sea turtles dying a miserable death trapped in ghost fishing nets, lines and traps. Only caring divers can help these animals and bring attention to the problem, so we can find a solution.
Make every dive, a dive against debris, by taking the Dive Against Debris Specialty course and diving on your own to remove harmful marine debris.
Shore volunteers are needed to help retrieve, sort, categorize, weigh and report marine debris collected by divers. You may also help return trapped animals to the ocean.
