It's time to clean up a hot summer's mess! While we all love the beach and its beauty that attracts us back to its presence, we hate to see the trash that some may leave behind during their visit! 

The Radio Island Rock Jetty is a popular dive site to our area because of its easy access, its numerous depth ranges and of course the abundance of life that thrives there! Many others enjoy this area to include swimmers, local fishermen, sun bathers and individuals taking up SCUBA classes for the first time. And it's sad to say, there is a LOT of trash that gets left behind. Let's cleanup this problem and enjoy a fantastic dive on the Jetty! This is a great dive for all levels of divers, as i have mentioned the dexterity of depths. You can stay shallow, or yo ucan do deep--up to 55 feet deep! I guarantee that you WILL find trash at every depth!

Slack High Tke is at 12:32 PM.  I recommend you have your gear ready by 11:30 am. Everyone is welcome to join us for the Udnerwater Cleanup Party. We will be providing a scale to weigh everyone's debris so that you can log in yoru trash on the Project Aware website. With that in mind, make sure you have a nice sized and durable collection bag! Recommended items: Gloves, Collection bag, underwater scissors and/or knife, Dive light.

***** FOR ALL DEBRIS CLEAN-UP PARTICIPANTS*****We will be having a free cookout at Discovery Diving Center folowing the cleanup and diving.

Once you have finished yoru debris dive, please meet back at Discovery Dive Center in Beaufort, where our grill masters will be cooking up some good food. Water is available for a $1.00 donation where 100% of the funds will be donated to ECARA.

Discovery Diving is not only allowing us to use their facility for this day, but they are so kind as to supply all divers who are participating in this dive with their air/air fill from the dive for free. You must mention that you are a participant in the Radio Island Underwater Debreis Cleanup and sign up with the shop ahead of time. if you need gear transfer, the pontoon boat will be leaving from the dive shop to head over to Radio Island, if you are wishing to put your bcd/tank/reg set-up o nthe pontoon boat, you will need to be at the dive shop and ready to go no later than 11:00.

If you are not diving but want to help clean up the beach, meet at the Radio Island Public Beach Access at 8:30 a.m. and join the divers at the end of the clean-up on the beach and then joing us back at Discovery Diving Co. for some good food.
