Comments and Feedback
This was the first of the Dive Against Debris Dives by our Project Aware CAS Project group. We used part of the money we raised from our school campaign back in December to fund this as well as future dives. Through this, we aim to actively partake in protecting and maintaining the health of our oceans.
