At this event we were 6 divers and 1 land support from our club. At first we visited the Primary school of Agioi Theodoroi and showed to the children videos about marine debris and pollution, given them advise for environmental protection. After that all together we went to the beach , the children done a beach clean up and we dive against debris. The Agioi Theodoroi Port Authorities were supporting the whole action and at school they showed clips and photos about sea risks and how to avoit them....
