On May 24th Aquanaut Scuba and Snorkelling Centre, Kingston University Sub Aqua Club in association with Kingston University Students Union Volunteering will be undertaking a huge Thames River Clean project at Kingston Upon Thames.

This is the third river clean event that has been run and is going to be the biggest and best. The previous ‘river clean’ generated over 3 tonnes of rubbish and this year’s up-scaled event is expected to generate significantly more, particularly following the flooding of the River Thames over the winter months.

The event was the brainchild of Aquanaut employee and former Kingston University Student Chris Elliott who wanted to find a way for scuba divers could contribute to and give back to their community.

The project is being supported by Thames 21, the RNLI, the local fire brigade and various other Kingston University sport participants.
