Dive with Purpose

The ocean already has enough problems going into it each and every day, so as a dive team, we at Silver Reef Dive Resort make every dive into a clean up dive.  By getting into this habit, we as instructors for Scuba Schools International hope that our students follow our example and make the ocean a little bit cleaner every time we go into the water.

We've picked up a myriad of ocean trash during our thousands of dives ranging from bits of plastic, to sacks, to shoes, diapers and napkins, and sometimes we get reports of discarded fishing gear.

With our extensive collective experiences, including technical overhead diving in Arctic waters, we are capable of extracting huge swaths of nets and hundreds of metres of fishing line.  On the left is a video of a net recovery we did in our house reef where we have resident Green and Hawksbill turles amongst a plethora of other marine life.
