There are many ways you can be part of our team and help:
- Surface support and coordination
- Help processing and logging the collected items
- Record keeping and documenting
- Help to convey our message to interested visitors on the island
Here is the rundown:
8.15 - we meet at the pier and take our places on the ferry, the ride will take 1.5 hr, we usually use this time for briefing and breakfast and for some extra nap.
10.30 - arrival to the island, we make our way to the dive shop and gear up, preparation may take an hr or so before everyone is ready
Around 11.00 (or when the whole group is ready) - we make our way to the beach, last briefing - repeating the most important infos and select transect lines
12.00 (1 hour dive) - end of the first dive, we meet on the beach, take a group photo then make our way back to the shop with all of our 'treasures', depending on the amount of debris it will take us an hour or even longer to sort and log all items at the same time we order lunch (you may bring your own or eat at the restaurant, which is the same as the dive shop).
14.00 - depending on the group as well as on the time we may go for a second dive
15.00 - back to the shop, measure, sort and log our findings, then shower and pack
17.15 - ferry leaves back
There is no card payment and phone network on the island unless you do roaming. We have mesh bags and spare gloves if you need one, please bring your knife or scissors if you have one. We have some spares for that too.
